I imagine it is with something like a sigh of relief that you,
Vice Chancellor, approach the opening of this hostel today. I too am delighted
that generous private donations, amounting to more than one-third of the
total cost has enabled the three hostels to be completed.
The naming of this hostel at Chung Chi College after Madam Ho Sin-hang
fittingly commemorates the great generosity of the Ho family who have contributed
more than two-thirds of the private funds for the three hostels.
As your Chancellor I might, with propriety, also commend your Government
for contributing the major share of the bill for these hostels. We attach much
importance to them as places in which students can read and think and learn
in favourable conditions conditions created by the construction and concept
of the Chinese University of Hong Kong; a magnificent idea, a magnificent
site and splendidly executed under Dr. Li's leadership.
What purpose do we want it to serve ?
