ADVANCE A N D E X C E L Prof. Ambrose Y.C. King Message from the Vice-Chancellor 40th Anniversary of CUHK December 2002 ‘ In no time the University will launch forth into its fifth decade, all ready to tackle the new challenges posed by the globalization of higher education. It embarks on such ajourney with a passion for progress, with renewed vigour and creativity, and with full confidence in itself. ’ Prof. Arthur K.C. Li ‘Vice-Chancellors Review' Annual Report 1999-2000 ...The University would persist in its efforts to help students learn effectively in both English and Chinese, and to nurture more talent with ’trilingual' skills — talent who are much needed by the HKSAR to sustain its competitive edge in the 21st century. Prof. Ma Lin 'CUHK: Goals and Aspirations', speech at the 32nd Congregation for the Conferment of First Degrees on 11th December 1986 ... While what we stand for and believe in have in the past been misunderstood as outdated and impracticable, and while they were different from current views of the past, I trust that the public can now appreciate that these are not the aberration of one person or one institution, rather they are reasonable and endurable policies which suit Hong Kong and indeed China in the long run. 'The 40th anniversary logo features a soaring phoenix whose shape is made to resemble the Arabic numerals '40'. It looks both modern and cosmopolitan.'
