Professor Ma Lin (1924-2017), the second Vice-Chancellor of CUHK, passed away on 16 October 2017, aged 93. Professor Ma joined CUHK in 1964 and helped set up the new Department of Biochemistry. He was the Founding Chair of Biochemistry in 1973, and then the Dean of Science. In 1978 he was appointed Vice-Chancellor of the University and steered its development until 1987 when he retired after a service of 23 years. Under Professor Ma’s leadership, CUHK completed the implementation of the recommendations in the second Fulton Report of 1976 as well many other achievements. The Faculty of Medicine was established, the undergraduate programme was reviewed and the Provisional Acceptance Scheme introduced. As well the credit unit system was implemented for the undergraduate curriculum. There was also an expansion of postgraduate programmes to the doctoral level, and the establishment of a reinforced professional education system. The college tradition was further strengthened as well by the establishment of Shaw College.
In memory of Prof. Ma, the University Gallery now has a showcase to introduce Prof. Ma’s life as well as his contributions to the University, and display precious relics such as manuscripts, letters, biography, and the Vice-Chancellor’s reports, etc.
