Chung Chi College College Motto: In Pursuit of Excellence Chung Chi College was founded in 1951 by the Protestant Churches in Hong Kong to fill the need for a local institution of higher learning that would be both Chinese and Christian. It is characterized by an emphasis on liberal arts education and whole-person development. Weiyuan Lake, the Chinese name of Lake Ad Excellentiam , literally meaning ‘not complete’, not only describes the shape of the lake but is a clever footnote to the College motto ‘In Pursuit of Excellence’. The double-storey A-frame Chung Chi Tang , built in 1972, serves as a student recreation centre and canteen. The College Chapel , built in 1961, is situated half way up the hill along Chung Chi Road. Its colourful blocks of granite were indigenous and excavated while developing the College campus. Colleges 4
