Mead, whose achievements and influence went way beyond her anthropological works at Samoa and New Guinea, should nod approvingly if she sees what the teachers and students of anthropology at CUHK are doing. We hear from department chairman Prof. Gordon Mathews and some of the students on their rhyme and reasons for engaging in anthropological studies. Einstein knew better than believing that physical forces rule everything on earth. He did not believe God plays dice, either. Neither does Prof. Dickon Ng ( photo ), chairman of the physics department. We will hear him out on what makes Physics@CUHK strong and unique, why he appeared on TV to expound on physical phenomena and ultimately his view of the best thing in life. Fine folks bring fine things to other people’s lives. We pay tribute to Mr. Edwin Mok and Mrs. Joy Chung of the E&R Foundation and hear their fine deeds of bringing fine music to young people in Hong Kong and how they embrace I • CARE like an old friend. 19 • 11 • 2015 目錄 CONTENTS 2 特寫 Feature 淺談人類學與教育 Enriching our Education with Anthropology 4 好人好事 Fine Folks Fine Deeds 心誠，則事成 Dedication Makes Success 5 . . . 校園消息 Campus News 7 字裏高科 Tech Talks 7 寶健保健 Wealth In Health 8 宣布事項 Announcements 9 到任同仁 Newly Onboard 10 口談實錄 Viva Voce Photo by ISO staff 「張佬」金禧 新聞與傳播學院成立於1965年，今年正值其五十周年院慶，學院特於新亞書院「小百萬大道」前搭起巨型花牌賀壽，非常醒目 To celebrate its golden jubilee, the School of Journalism and Communication specially built a gigantic, eye-catching traditional Chinese flower plaque on the avenue outside the Humanities Building at New Asia College 物理學的理智與感性 （頁10） Physics: Sense and Sensibility ( p. 10 ) School of Journalism and Communication’s 50th Anniversary
