The Call of CUHK Colleges

書院教育的理念 The Philosophy of College Education 4 書院何時成立？ When were the Colleges founded? 中大是以崇基學院、新亞書院及聯合書院為基礎於 1963 年建立。隨着大學不斷發展，八十年代末增加了逸夫 書院。 2012 年起，政府施行大學本科教育四年制課程，中大遂增添晨興書院、善衡書院、敬文書院、伍宜孫 書院及和聲書院，以應對新增學生的需要。 Established in 1963, The Chinese University of Hong Kong has its origin in Chung Chi College, New Asia College and United College. As the University has continued to grow over the years, Shaw College was established in the late 1980s. To cater for the addition of students upon reversion to a four-year undergraduate curriculum in 2012, Morningside College, S.H. Ho College, C.W. Chu College, Wu Yee Sun College and Lee Woo Sing College were established. 書院制為何重要？ Why is the college system important? 書院是大社群內的小社群，最有利於人際的溝通互動。有了書院，學生與教職員所珍視的親厚情誼和彼此扶 持精神，仍會得到孕育與滋養，不會因為大學規模擴大而減去。書院的影響滲透於學生的生活之中，成為整 個大學社群靈魂的一部分。 The college system provides a genius of scale: Colleges are communities within the larger community, constructed on a very human scale; they allow the University to grow large without losing the intimacy and support so valuable to students and academic staff. Colleges are instantly integral to the lives of their student members, and quickly become integral to the soul of the University community.
