As Chairman of the Finance Committee for the past twenty years, he played an important and active role in formulating the University's financial policies, in helping to secure funding support from the Government as well as private sources, and in managing the Staff Superannuation Funds of the University. Thanks to his incessant efforts, there has been a steady flow of donations for capital development, academic and research programmes as well as financial aid to students of the University. As a keen supporter of the Three-year Part-time M.B.A. Programme，he played no small part in the acquisition of the premises of the Programme's town centre in Kowloon. With his concern for educational development in Hong Kong, he is on the Council and other major committees of this University and the Hong Kong Polytechnic, and is amember of the Court of the University of Hong Kong. In 1976, he was appointed Chairman of the Board of Education of the Hong Kong Government and in 1981 was also made a special adviser to the International Panel of Educators who were invited by the Government to conduct an overall review of education in Hong Kong. Dr. Lee has a distinguished record of public service. He was an Executive Councillor from 1968 to 78 and a Legislative Councillor from 76 to 78, and this August, he was reappointed to the Executive Council. He has served as Chairman and member of numerous public bodies in the areas of banking, commerce, education and health. His achievements as a leading local banker have been equally remarkable. He figures prominently among those whose initiative, determination and entrepreneurial efforts have contributed towards the economic progress and prosperity of Hong Kong. He is now Chairman and General Manager of the Hang Seng Bank Limited. With such a dedicated member at its helm, the University will forge ahead and is set to take up new challenges. 12
