The College is also doing preliminary planning on three projects to be financed by special funds made available to the College. Upon completion of the University Health Centre in a year's time, the College Clinic will be converted into a music building. Two additional staff residences (one for single and young married teachers, a second for technicians) are also planned. In its submission to the University Grants Committee for capital grants to finance building projects during the next quadrennium, 1972/75, Chung Chi College included a request for a second minor staff quarters and two new student hostels, each for 150 students. The College's ultimate goal is to have 75% of its student body in residence.

A new Division of Sociology has been added this year. Dr. C. 丁. Yung, President of Chung Chi College, has been appointed concurrently as the Dean of the Graduate School. The Institute of Chinese Studies, the University Library and other buildings will be completed within this academic year, enabling expansion of research projects and the total graduate programme. As Hong Kong further develops its industry and culture, the need for more local graduate study opportunities becomes obvious and urgent. The Graduate School Faculty Advisory Committee has been established to carry on the functions previously devolved upon the Working Party for the Graduate Council and the Graduate School Bursary Committee. Its composition and terms of reference are as follows: a) Members of the Committee shall be composed of the Heads of all Divisions of the Graduate School, with the Dean as Chairman. b) The quorum of the Committee is five. c) The main duty of the Committee is to advise the Dean on the operation and policies of the Graduate School. The total enrolment of students has increased from 51 to 78 this year.

The new Director of the School is Mr. T. C. Cheng, President of United College. 106 students have enrolled for the academic year 1970-71, indicating an increase of 100% over last year's figure.
