Bulletin Spring‧Summer 1978

Opening Ceremony of Sui-Loong Pao Building The Opening Ceremony of Sui-Loong Pao Building was held on 12th January, 1978 ， at which His Excellency the Chancellor, Sir Murray MacLehose, officiated. The Building is a gift from a distinguished local businessman, Dr. Y. K. Pao, Chairman of the World wide Shipping Group, donated in the spirit of his father's long devotion to community service and educational development. At one stage in 1975, when Hong Kong was in the throes of a worldwide recession, the project to construct an economics, business administration, and government and public administration building had to be temporarily suspended in the interest of economy. During this particularly difficult time, Dr. Pao demon strated his concern for the development of business education in The Chinese University by making avail able to the University a sum of HK$3.29 million to cover the entire cost of the Building. Construction work for the Sui-Loong Pao Building was thus started in July 1976 and completed in September 1977. From left: Dr. Y.K.
