幕揭像畫士爵堯祖員議關爲士博翰約高 Dr. John W. Cowee unveiling the portrait of the Hon. Sir Cho-Yiu Kwan We at Marquette have been privileged indeed to know Dr. Kwan and Lady Kwan. We were pleased to receive them at our University, and into our community, and into our homes. As the years progressed we came to respect Dr. Kwan's many contributions to Hong Kong. More precisely, we hold in high regard his early vision and personal dedication to the concept which subsequently matured into The Chinese University of Hong Kong, an institution of higher learning through which your citizens benefit and through which the Chinese culture is enriched, therefore enriching, through exchange and preservation, the other cultures of the world. Earth was moved from these hills to provide a magnificent site from which your University reaches out to the intellects of present and future generations. Dr. Kwan, this Conference Hall, and your portrait within it ， will provide stimulus and assurance to those whose heritage it will be to assume and perpetuate responsible stewardship of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The unveiling of your portrait, Dr. Kwan, gives expression of our deep sense of attachment to your University, to its stated purposes, and recognizes the singular quality of your personal efforts in its behalf. These efforts, as a minimum, have been legion. The bronze plate at the bottom of the portrait reads: "The Hon. Sir Cho-Yiu Kwan, C.B.E., LL.B., LL.D., J.P. First Chairman of the Council, The Chinese University of Hong Kong October 1963 — October 1971 Presented by Marquette University Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U. S. A ."
