Bulletin Spring‧Summer 1978

Opening Ceremony of New Student Hostels The Opening Ceremony of New Student Hostels was held on 5th June, 1978 at Chung Chi College's Madam S. H. Ho Hall, at which His Excellency the Chancellor, Sir Murray MacLehose, officiated. The new hostel project comprising the three six-storey hostels just completed—Madam S. H. Ho Hall, Xuési Hall and Bethlehem Hall— and a fourth one which is still under construction, costs over HK$11 million. They are built with funds from three different sources. The Bethlehem Company, Ltd. was the first to come forward with a generous donation of HK$4 million in 1974 to help meet the cost of building more student hostels. The Yale-China Asso ciation, which has a direct interest in providing more residential places for students of the University's International Asian Studies Programme, also made a contribution of HK$1 million towards the project. The rest of the construction cost is defrayed by the Hong Kong Government. SirMurray MacLehose with Dr. andMrs. Ho Sin Hang 17
