The M aking o f the Medical Faculty The founding o f the Faculty o f Medicine at this University not only signifies a major development in Hong Kong's medical education, but also represents a giant step forward in the realization o f the Univer­ sity's ideals. In the Supplement which marked the opening o f the Choh-Ming L i Basic Medical Sciences Building (Chinese University Bulletin Supplement 2), readers have been introduced to our newly established Faculty o f Medicine: its establishment, its staff, its facilities, its aims and objectives, and its course o f study and curriculum. The Supplement also contained profiles o f five o f the professors and heads o f depart­ ments who had taken up their posts: Professors C.N. Chen (Psychiatry), S.P.B. Donnan (Community Medicine), J.E. Gardiner (Pharmacology), DJ . Riches (Anatomy) and W.C. Hamann (Physiology), as well as their aspirations ， and plans for the respective depart­ ments. Indeed, even a casual observer would not have failed to see the progress the Faculty o f Medicine has been making.
