Good F a i t h and Uns t i nt i ng S upp o r t In conclusion, I w ould like to repeat that what w ith all the generous external assistance, the success o f the U n i- versity depends and must depend on the whole-hearted suppo rt o f the G ove rnm en t and the com m u n ity o f H ong K on g . I am happy to say tha t d u rin g the firs t year o f operation the G overnm ent has demonstrated the best o f good fa ith and the comm u nity, represented by the U n i- versity Coun cil, has given u n stin tin g support. I t is up to us, therefore, to move fo rw a rd w ith resolution to b rin g the plans, the hopes and dreams o f w h ich I have spoken, to reality. I can o n ly say I welcome the challenge. We owe it to H o ng K o n g and to those friends inside and outside the com m u n ity who have sturggled to b rin g the Colleges fo rw a rd to th e ir present status, to struggle in tu rn to b rin g the U n iv e rs ity fo rw a rd to a po sition o f respect among the honoured universities o f the w o rld . I do not doub t the outcome. T h a n k you. T he V ic e -C h an c el lo r ： DR. CHOH-MING L I D r.

HONORARY GRADUATES S i r R o b e r t B l a c k S ir Robert B lack came to H o ng K o n g as G overnor in 1958. D u rin g the previous decade the Colony had success- fu lly weathered severe threats to its welfare b ro ug ht on by social and econom ic change. S ir Robert led the com - m u n ity to an unprecedented p ro spe rity in spite o f the m any problem s caused by an explosive grow th in popula- tion . H is interest in the comm u n ity's w e ll-being, however, reached far beyond econom ic welfare. D u rin g his period as G overnor, H ong K o n g greatly expanded its vast housing estates fo r the underprivileged, its medical fa cilities and its educational o p p o rtu n ity . W h ile he had to give firs t consideration to the drastic need for more p rim a ry and secondary schools, he also showed a special concern fo r Chinese higher education, h ith e rto unavailable to most o f the graduates o f Chinese secondary schools. 5
