Celebrations of United College 50th Anniversary - The Calligraphy and Recitations from Professor So Man-jock (1921-1997)
Professor So Man-jock (1921-1997) was a renowned scholar of the Chinese canons. From 1965, he was Professor of Chinese at United College, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he lectured on the canons and philosophies of the early masters as well as on shi and ci poetry, literary criticism and on Chinese educational thought. He enjoyed great popularity throughout his lectureship.
Professor So received a fine education as befits a member of a cultivated household. Since early childhood he was taught not only the classics but also calligraphy; his style being characterised by a classical elegance that harked back to two earlier generations of his family.
Professor So had generous instincts in the art of reciting classical pieces and was determined to advocate what is generally known as 'rhythmic recitation'. He was a popular guest of honour on both sides of the Taiwan straits.
A classical poet in his own right, Professor So was also an avid promoter of poetry. He gathered some of his students to form the 'Ming Society' where he continued his teaching on the classics in general and on classical poetry in particular.
Two activities will jointly be held by the United College, the Art Museum, the University Library System and the Ming Society in commemoration of Professor So's distinguished achievements:

「香江文教發展五十年」徇眾要求延長展期
由康樂及文化事務署與香港中文大學聯合書院合辦的「香江文教發展五十年」專題展覽己於二零零七年三月六日正式開幕。展期原定為二零零七年三月七日至五月廿八日，因反應熱烈，展覽現延長至六月廿五日，歡迎到臨香港歷史博物館一樓大堂舉行參觀，免費入場。
教育與文化，息息相關。二次大戰結束後，香港百廢待舉，教育事業面臨重重困難，政府遂積極發展教育，各式教育百花齊放，中文教育更有新的發展。一九五六年，廣僑、光夏、華僑、文化及平正五所私立書院合併組成聯合書院。至一九六三年香港中文大學正式成立，聯合書院成為創校成員之一。此後大專院校不斷出現，令更多學生有深造研究的機會。與此同事，香港是各地文化的大鎔爐，由早年的西方及日本文化，到近年的韓國文化傳入，確實帶來深遠影響。隨著科技的進步及生活水平的提高，人們對社會文化有更多訴求，促成香港文化的內涵日益發展。
是次展覽透過一批一九五六至二零零六年具代表性的展品及照片，輔以精簡文字，展示半世紀以來香港文化與教育發展的進程，並探討聯合書院與香港社會的相互關係。
有關詳情請瀏覽聯合書院五十周年網頁：http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/uc/uc50。如有查詢，請致電2609 7345 或電郵至carolyuen@cuhk.edu.hk與阮劍琴小姐聯絡。

“Fifty Years of Cultural and Educational Development in Hong Kong” Exhibition Period Extended
United College is pleased to announce that the exhibition period of “Fifty Years of Cultural and Educational Development in Hong Kong” is extended to 25 June 2007 owing to encouraging response. The exhibition is co-organized by Leisure and Cultural Services Department and United College of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, at the Hong Kong Museum of History 1/F Lobby. Free Admission to public.
There is a close relationship between education and culture. After World War II, the Hong Kong Government was confronted with severe difficulties in developing education, so she took an active part in promoting education. The mode of education diversified and the development of Chinese education was emphasized. In 1956, United College was founded by the amalgamation of five private colleges, Canton Overseas, Kwang Hsia, Wah Kiu, Wen Hua and Ping Jing. In 1963, The Chinese University of Hong Kong was inaugurated with United College as one of the three foundation colleges. More and more tertiary institutions were formed, and students were given more opportunities for further studies. Meanwhile, Hong Kong is a mixture of different cultures, fully affected by Western and Japanese cultures in the early time, and Korean culture in the recent years. With the development of scientific technology and the improvement of living standards, Hong Kong people have more demands in the social culture, enhancing the growth of the local culture. Through representative illustrations, photos and lucid descriptions, this exhibition outlines the cultural and educational development in Hong Kong during the past 50 years from 1956 to 2006, and examines the interrelationships between United College and the local society.
For details please visit United College 50th Anniversary website: http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/uc/uc50. Please feel free to contact Ms Carol Yuen at 2609 7345 or carolyuen@cuhk.edu.hk for further enquiries.
