Using this as a yardstick, we can proudly report that all our external examiners are accomplished academics with proven track records, that the quality of our programmes has long been recognized b y academic communities in Europe, North America, and Asia, and that many of our graduates have become professors in established universities over the world , some with very important accomplishments. One example is Prof. Tsui Lap- Chee, whose research findings on cystic fibrosis have won international acclaim . • In an interview in 1976 ， you said it was unlikely that the Graduate School would become an independent unit, because 'Development of the Graduate School depends on the availability of teaching staff and adequate library and other facilities ， but unfortunately at this university the recruitment of teachers is determined in the main by the needs of the undergraduate programme.'Has the situation changed since? • It has changed a lot and I can see a prosperous future for the Graduate School.
