The Donor Sir Run Run Shaw has a long and brilliant record of social service, prompted by his eagerness to enrich the cultural life of the community, to help the sick and the disabled, and to provide better education for our youth. Sir Run Run's association with The Chinese University began in 1967 when he became amember of the Board of Trustees of United College. He was made Vice-Chairman of the Board in 1972 and Chairman in 1983. Since 1977, Sir Run Run has been serving on the University Council. Throughout the past two decades, Sir Run Run has not only played a part in the development of the University through his presence in its several governing bodies, but has also given substantial financial support from time to time towards many projects and activities of the University. A notable example is his generous donation which enabled the building of the Sir Run Run Shaw Hall on central campus; this Hall has enlivened and greatly enriched the cultural and community life of members of the University since its completion in 1981. Another generous donation of HK$10 million was made only a year ago in support of several building projects and staff development programmes. This was part of a HK$106 million donation earmarked by Sir Run Run for charities and educational institutions. The University is indeed deeply grateful to Sir Run Run for his continuing support over the years. Sir Run Run is the President of the Shaw Brothers Organization and the Chairman of the Television Broadcasts limited. He is also an Honorary Graduate of the two universities in Hong Kong. NEWS 3
