The 65th anniversary celebrations of the University started on 15 March amid a flurry of excitement and confetti. The happy occasion commemorates the illustrious history of the Institution as a pioneer of technical and professional training in Hong Kong. In the cover story, the Council Chairman, the President, and one of this Institution's first graduates share their thoughts and feelings on the launch of the celebrations.
Another specially commissioned article which unfolds many precious memories of the Institution's early days appears on p.16-21.
