8 No. 425, 19.10.2013 書香、咖啡香 On Books and Beans 不知始於何時,逛書店和喝咖啡成了生活品味的雙生兒。 大學書店旁的Café330,靜靜地烘焙着校園的閱讀文化。這裏的布局簡約分 明,鼓勵自助與節約,對地球與社會的關懷,寫在牆上,也寫在服務員的臉上。 在書店遇上心儀已久或新上書榜的好書,瀏覽完書皮上的推介語後,合心的 話付款,然後在咖啡角找個位坐下(有時也非易事),一邊呷着咖啡一邊繼續 翻自序或開卷首章,淺嚐、深讀、用功、閒戲,悉聽尊便。 在這裏,咖啡絕不是陪襯。性格鮮明,口香雋永的一杯黑啡,隨時陪你(和你 的好友)消磨半個早上,或填滿下一節課前的閒隙。 Since when have book browsing and coffee tasting become contiguous? There must be a reason why Café 330 is situated right next to the University Bookstore. The décor of the café is simplistic yet stylish. Self- help and thrift are subtly endorsed. Caring for Earth and our society are written on the wall and the faces of the employees there. Book browsing should never be done in a hurry, but when you come across a book long sought after or one with immediate appeal, and are not dissuaded by the product endorsements on the jacket, buy it. Then take it next door and find a seat, not an easy task at times. While the coffee crema swirls in your cup, turn the pages of the prologue or the first chapter. Take on the serious stuff, or skip around for fun. It’s your book, your call. At this joint coffee does not play second fiddle. A cup of Americano with distinct character and a lasting palate can get you (and your friends) through the good part of the morning or fill up the interim until the next class. 1963年10月17日,香港中文大學成立典禮於香港大會堂舉行( 圖一 ), 由時任港督兼大學監督柏立基爵士( 圖一講台上 )主禮,臨時校董會主席 關祖堯爵士( 圖一講台前 )把同年9月完成立法程序的《香港中文大學條 例》( 圖二 )一冊呈獻柏立基爵士,代表中大正式成立。崇基、新亞和聯合 三院學生,自此也從大專生成為大學生。半世紀以還,大學條例與時並進, 迭有增刪。欲一睹原貌,歡迎查索大學網站所存的《中文大學校刊》第一卷 第一期特刊 www.iso.cuhk.edu.hk/ebook/index.html#issue_id =376 。 On 17 October 1963, the Chinese University was inaugurated at the City Hall. The ceremony was hosted by Sir Robert Black ( on the podium, photo 1 ), then Governor and University Chancellor. Sir C.Y. Kwan ( before the podium, photo 1 ), then Chairman of the Provisional Council, presented the official copy of The Chinese University of Hong Kong Ordinance ( photo 2 ), enacted in September of the same year, to Sir Robert Black to mark the establishment of the University. From then on, students of Chung Chi, New Asia and United Colleges became university undergraduates. Over the past half century, the ordinance has kept evolving with the times.
