Colleges subject to no collegiate demarcation, and its chairman may be a professor or a lecturer, depending on the circumstances o f each particular Board. It is the Board of Studies that plays a major role in recommending the recruitmen t and appointment of the teaching staff o f The Chinese University, determining the teaching load of individual members, exercising self-policing and discipline among themselves, and furthering harmonious relations with students. In the area of academic programme, the various Research Institutes and Centres o f the University have been carrying on research projects on a continuing basis and have had demonstrable results. The A rt Gallery of the Institute of Chinese Studie s is now established and regularly holding exhibitions; the Lin Yu tang's Chinese- English Dictionary of Modem Usage is scheduled for publication in mid-November of this year; and the Journal of The Chinese University of Hong Kong will be inaugurated next spring t o publish scholarly treatises in the natural sciences, social science and the humanities. Academic faculties and departments newly established are the Department of Government and Public Administration , the Department of Biochemistr y and the Department of Electronics. Those offering "mino r studies" include: the Department of Japanese Studies, the Department of German Studies, th e Department of French Studies, the Department of Computer Science, the Department of Translation, and the Department of Psychology. All these new subject s are offered for the selection of the students of the entire University. So much for academic developments. On the administrative side, The Chinese Universit y has also followed a policy of pooling resources. The outstanding innovation here is the computerization of the Staff Payroll System, the Space Utilization System, the University Health Service System, an d the Personnel Records System. A t the same time steps have been taken toward systematizing and recording by computer the entire transcript of student records and the inter- collegiate timetable. Accounting procedures have been standardized, and operations are bein g streamlined. Such matters as University purchases, intra-campus transportation and campus security hav e been handled centrally. � 禮開離人禮 � 後舉完禮典 The procession leaving the Hall after the Congregation - 3 -
