University Archives, CUHK: 桂冠學人的故事——圖書捐贈儀式 The Laureates of Chinese Descent

大學展覽廳於本月19日舉行圖書捐贈儀式。來自美國科羅拉多大學的陳光輝教授向嘉賓介紹他與多位學者合編的《炎黃子孫的諾貝爾和拉斯克獎得主：於文學與科學》，並在諾貝爾獎得主——高錕教授和楊振寧教授的獎項展櫃前，將該書贈與參與寫作的沈祖堯教授、楊綱凱教授、高錕夫人黃美芸女士，和大學圖書館收藏。

這本新書介紹15位華裔桂冠學人 (11位諾貝爾獎得主、3位拉斯克獎得主、1位沃爾夫獎得主) 的生平和研究道路。陳教授致辭時表示，希望他們的故事可以啓發後學。這15位赫赫學人，當中12位和中大有著深厚淵源：

A book donation ceremony was held in the University Gallery on 19 March. Professor Laurence K. Chan from the University of Colorado, U.S. introduced his co-edited book Nobel and Lasker Laureates of Chinese Descent in Literature and Science to the guests, and presented copies of the book to Professor Joseph J.Y. Sung, Professor Kenneth Young, and Lady Gwen Kao, who have contributed chapters to the book. Additional copies were donated to the Library for retention and circulation. The ceremony took place in front of the showcase of the two Nobel laureates, Professor Sir Charles Kao and Professor Yang Chen-ning.

This newly published book introduces the lives and researches of 15 Laureates of Chinese descent, including 11 Nobel Laureates, 3 Lasker Laureates, and 1 Wolf Laureate. Professor Chan stated that the editors “hope to inspire the youth to emulate them in the hope that they too might become Laureates one day.” Among those 15 Laureates, 12 of them have close relationship with CUHK, therefore it was so meaningful to hold the ceremony in such a hall that exhibits the history, memorable moments and achievements of the University.
