本系榮休教授蘇慶彬先生痛於二零一六年九月九日下午三時正，於美國寓所安詳逝世，享年八十五歲。噩耗傳來，我系同仁不勝悲慟，深切哀悼。

蘇教授祖籍廣東惠陽，一九三二年四月五日生；一九五六年畢業於新亞書院文史系，旋即入讀新亞研究所；畢業後，歷任助理研究員、副研究員、研究員；其後又於一九六七年獲中文大學碩士學位，同時並任中文大學新亞書院歷史系教職；一九七四至七六年間，出任新亞書院歷史系系主任；一九九三年榮休。期間講授「中國通史」、「秦漢史」、「魏晉南北朝史」、「中國歷史要論」，以及「中國文化史」諸科；並指導碩士及博士生，教誨學生不計其數。

蘇教授中學時期已受錢穆先生學生何格恩老師熏陶，及後錢先生來港創立新亞書院，蘇教授更有幸先從國學大師錢穆先生，再從史學大師牟潤孫先生及嚴耕望先生等碩學鴻儒治史。蘇教授為學嚴謹，一言一論必有所本，非有真憑實據，不妄下論斷；主治中國中古史，兼研清代史學。專著有《兩漢迄五代入居中國之蕃人氏族研究》，旨在探討民族融和及其對社會文化之影響。晚年孜孜不倦，潛心完成錢穆先生囑咐之《清史稿全史人名索引》，成書兩大冊，一千二百餘頁；此外，復有《七十雜憶——從香港淪陷到新亞書院的歲月》一書，憶述成長與求學道路，洵可謂治史餘瀋。

蘇教授家屬謹訂於美國時間九月十六日（星期五）正午十二時三十分，於紐約「五福殯儀館」出殯，隨即安葬「春暉園」墓地。蘇教授臨終前囑咐懇辭花圈；倘有帛金，則撥作成立港幣五十萬元新亞書院歷史系一年級新生入學獎學金之用，不敷之數概由家屬補充。

帛金可存入恆生銀行，師母何淑珍（Ho Sook Chun）女士之帳戶，號碼：(024) 775 159643 001
