Honorary Fellowship Presentation Ceremony 2011 of Lingnan University

21 Nov 2011

 
 

Today Lingnan University held the Honorary Fellowship Presentation Ceremony 2011. Mr Bernard Chan, Chairman of the University Council, conferred honorary fellowships on four distinguished individuals in recognition of their valuable contributions to education and the well-being of the community. The four recipients are:

• Mr Adolf Hsu Hsung, SBS, ISO, JP
• Mr Kwan Chi-sun
• Mr Michael Lee Tze-hau
• Mr Patrick Wong Chi-kwong

Speaking on behalf of the honorary fellows, Mr Patrick Wong thanked Lingnan University for the conferment. He hailed the role of Lingnan College, the predecessor of Lingnan University in Hong Kong, as one of the few privately funded tertiary institutions that enabled the continuation of classical Chinese studies during the troubled times of the last century. He also spoke highly of the seniors and veterans of Lingnan who have devoted themselves to ensure it was provided with significant material assets and helped reform the institution’s governance structure, which led to the relocation of Lingnan to this beautiful campus and its retitlement as a university in 1999. As a graduate of Lingnan College himself, Mr Wong concluded, “This is the greatest gift a Lingnanian could receive.”
