CUHK Newsletter No.40 March 1993 Greeting cards; HK$ 15 per set (5 in a set; featuring the campus of the University and its four constituent colleges) Rotating desk-top calendar with a digital clock (black or g r e y ) ; HK$40 A s the 30th anniversary of the University gradually draws near, there is an inexplicable sense of excitement on the campus. Those who have been with the University from its formative years feel that we have become older and wiser and should therefore make a record of our achievements. Others, like myself, who joined the University only during the last decade or so, are still feeling the ripples of the thrills of several recent major developments. Well, for me, the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine and Shaw College remain as close to my heart as a beautifully composed melody does to a musician. I am sure other people have different memories, but somehow we all share a feeling that 1993 is a major milestone in the history of the University, hence a proper celebration should be organized. In late 1992 Prof. S. W. Tam, chairman of the 30th Anniversary Celebrations Planning and Steering Committee, invited me to design a logo and souvenirs for the 30th anniversary. Frankly, I did not know why I was chosen. But as an administrator of the University I could see no reason not to accept this task, especially since the 30th anniversary is, alter all, a very important occasion for the University community. In fact, I have a notorious appetite for things new, meaningful, and exciting. So, with some experience in producing souvenirs for Shaw College,I happily accepted this invitation without hesitation.
