Sila Reggiani 于瀟 Yu Xiao 開 學了 A New Year Begins 邊註邊讀 Marginalia 在9月2日的本科生入學典禮上， 沈祖堯 校長勸勉新生要過 儉樸、謙卑和高尚的大學生活，並歡迎香港、內地和海外新 生加入中大。他們早前已參與所屬學科和書院的迎新活動， 成為中大大家庭的一分子。今年剛好伍宜孫書院的宿舍落 成，迎接它的首批「入宿」學生，怪不得9月初經常看到學生 拖着旅行袋和行李箱在校園走動。 中醫糅合了藝術和科學，既不排斥現代科學，也不把西方醫 學拒諸門外， 梁榮能 教授在「……如是說」告訴你他是怎樣 由生物化學家搖身成為中醫學院院長。他更為擬當中醫者 送上忠告。 轉談輕鬆一點的，我們繼續走訪校園，到不同地方品嘗咖 啡，獻上咖啡之旅的第二站。中文大學以「鳳」為校徽，但 向來只聽其名，無人能一睹其貌，中大校長的鈐章也如是， 但讀者可在今期首次細看鈐章。 At the inauguration ceremony on 2 September, Prof. Joseph J.Y. Sung , CUHK Vice-Chancellor, exhorted the new undergraduates to live their university life in a simple, humble and noble manner. He also welcomed the new students from Hong Kong, the mainland and abroad who had earlier arrived on campus to orient themselves to their chosen disciplines and assigned Colleges. In fact, a new College, Wu Yee Sun, had its first ‘checking-in’ exercise this year. Heavy bags and suitcases on rollers were a common sight on campus in early September. Happy moving in! Chinese medicine is both art and science, and it is insular to neither modern scientific theories nor western medical practice. In ‘Thus Spake…’, Prof. Albert W.N. Leung will tell you how he had come from being a biochemist to the Director of the School of Chinese Medicine at CUHK. He will also give his advice to those who are considering a career in Chinese medicine. On the more indulgent side, we continue to go around campus and try out different brands and settings for coffee consumption. Here is the second instalment of our cruise in coffee. Like the phoenix or feng , a symbol of CUHK, which we have heard so much about but never saw, the Seal of the Vice-Chanellor is herein revealed to many for the first time. ———————■■■——————— 目錄 Contents 開學了 A New Year Begins 2 近觀孟加拉醫療系統 3 A Closer Look at the Health Care System in Bangladesh 校園消息 Campus News 4 博文貫珍 The Galleria 5 舌尖上的中大 CUHK f&b 5 人事動態 Ins and Outs 6 梁榮能如是說 Thus Spake Albert W.N.
