Vice-Chancellor Choh-Ming Li's Speech We are delighted to welcome this morning, representatives of the American Women's Association of Hong Kong and to have this occasion to express our gratitude to the Association for this gift of equipping and furnishing the Music Appreciation Room. The American Women have been supporting the University fo r many years through their gifts of Scholarships, so we are happy that we also have this additional sign of your support in a room that can be permanently marked with your name. Most o f you know that the Benjamin Franklin Centre in which we meet, is the gift of the People of the United States of America: that The Asia Foundation and individual donors have provided a sum for furniture: and that social and recreational facilities are being contributed b y American business firms and individuals in Hong Kong. The Music Appreciation Room, an attractive social and cultural amenity, is a very welcome addition to the facilities for students and staff to share experiences and to grow in understanding of one another. I am sure that the American Women's Association will want to join with the University in expressing our thanks to Mr. Albert Chan, Owner-Manager of The Radio People Ltd. His generous terms have enabled us to stay within the budget and we have drawn on his long experience for advice in choosing the equipment. In addition he has presented to the University four excellent tapes of classical music to start our collection. We are pleased that Mr. Chan is here today. 長校敏卓李爲旁，綵剪人夫克列梅，中式儀用啓室賞欣樂音 Mrs. Helen Minick cutting the ribbon, by her side is Vice-Chancellor Choh-Ming Li And now may I tell you how happy I am to accept your generous gift from the hands of Mrs. Helen Minick, Past President of the Association, during whose term of office as President the grant was made.
