The humble building in the photo is Ma Liu Shui Station in the 1950s. Before CUHK was founded in 1963, Chung Chi College, one of the three founding Colleges of the University, had already built its campus in Ma Liu Shui. The person with a cane in the front row is Dr. Lin Dao-yang, the second president of the College. Ma Liu Shui Station was renamed ‘University Station’ from 1 January 1967.

As the University marches towards its golden jubilee, the CUHK Newsletter will visually compare its past with its present.
