這些錄像很難得，影片原為耶魯大學雅禮協會拍攝。雅禮協會與中大的淵源始於上世紀。新亞書院成立不久，協會每年安排耶魯畢業生來書院教授英語，並於六十年代資助書院興建校舍；中大成立後，於七十年代與中大聯合開辦專爲外籍學生而設的亞洲課程。六十多年來學術、文化、研究各方面的合作交流從未間斷。2013年1月，校長沈祖堯教授率代表團前往美國紐黑文，頒授榮譽法學博士證書予耶魯大學校長Richard Charles Levin教授，耶魯大學就將這些剛修復好的影片送予中大。
影片原本沒有聲音，幸好中大傳訊及公共關係處保存了成立典禮和院長訪問的錄音。這兩批有畫無聲和有聲無畫的紀錄，經大學視聽製作部剪輯合倂後，一段聲影並茂的當年錄像就展現在訪客眼前。

In addition to the precious artifacts, the multimedia resources in the University Gallery are also worthy of attention. One of the display panels is playing videos of CUHK Inauguration Ceremony held on 17 October 1963, early campuses of three founding Colleges i.e. Chung Chi College, New Asia College, and United College, and interviews of the College Heads.
These videos were filmed by Yale-China Association. The ties between the Association and CUHK have been established for decades. Yale-China sent Yale graduates to New Asia College to teach English in the 1950s, sponsored the College campus construction in the 1960s, and jointly launched the International Asian Studies Programme with CUHK in the 1970s. More academic and cultural exchange programmes between the two institutions have been fostered. In January 2013, the Vice-Chancellor Professor Joseph Sung led a delegation to New Haven to confer the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws to Professor Richard Charles Levin, the President of Yale University. Yale University presented to Professor Sung a remastered copy of these early video recordings.
The original video clips were all silent. Fortunately, voice recordings of the Ceremony and interviews of the College heads are kept by CUHK Communications and Public Relations Office. With the expertise of the Audio-Visual Division (CUAV) colleagues, the audio and video clips are merged seamlessly to show visitors the scene of 1963.
