underway, and, in recognition of Sir Run Run's long time
contribution to education, the University has decided to name
the new college Shaw College and has invited Sir Run Run to
become its Patron.
Although the funds are available for the University to establish the new College, it is now necessary to give legal effect for such a development. The Chinese University of Hong Kong Ordinance 1976, provides for the establishment of new
Colleges by Ordinance in accordance with a special resolution of the University Council. Accordingly, the Council have
passed such a special resolution to establish Shaw College as a
College of the University, and I now have the honour to present for members' consideration The Chinese University of Hong Kong
(Declaration of Shaw College) Bill 1986.
The new
In essence the Bill provides for a Fourth Schedule
which deals with the establishment and constitution of Shaw
College. In the existing Ordinance, The Chinese University of
Hong Kong Ordinance 1976, the three original Colleges are governed by the provisions of the Third Schedule. Fourth Schedule will now govern the constitution of Shaw College. Consequent to that, there is a need to make minor
amendments to certain sections of the original Ordinance to
take account of this development.
