          謝幕 : 中區警署建築群

Call number  NA1547.H6 L46 2018 

The Central Police Station, the Central Magistrate Court, and the Victoria Prison, were built in the 19^th Century.  Together they formed a complete system for law enforcement.  The buildings in the compound were declared heritage monuments in 1995.  Right after the buildings were decommissioned in 2006, award-winning photographer Leong Ka Tai comprehensively photographed the compound.  The site has now undergone extensive renovation and has been transformed into a cultural/commercial complex.

CUHK 55th Anniversary - The Logo

中大55周年 - 校慶標誌

On 17 October, 1963, CUHK was founded. The motto of the University, Bo Wen Yue Li (Through learning and temperance to virtue), was adopted the following year.

The 55th Anniversary logo is derived from the motto's four Chinese characters. What is the meaning behind it? Let's listen to the logo designer Mr. Karr Yip (2000 New Asia, Bachelor's in Architecture; 2003 Master of Architecture).

1963年10月17日，香港中文大學正式成立，翌年訂立校訓「博文約禮」。

中大55周年校慶標誌正正由「博」、「文」、「約」、「禮」四字砌成，背後有甚麼意思？不如由設計師葉小卡先生（2000新亞建築、2003研究院建築）親自解畫。
