本月4日，英國約克大學歷史系的Miles Taylor教授到訪中大。他正在撰寫有關1960年代世界各地大學校園發展的論文，中大是其研究對象之一。大學檔案主管曾柳歡女士當日接待Taylor教授，除了展示大學展覽廳内有關校園發展的影片外，更分享中大從荒山到大學城的故事，如早期校園選址、三所創校成員書院匯聚沙田的過程、校園設計與規劃等。曾女士亦向Taylor教授介紹相關的歷史資源，例如1960年代至1970年代的校長報告書、1964年《香港中文大學校園發展計劃初步報告》、不同年代《香港中文大學概況》内的中大地圖等，希望有助Taylor教授的研究。
中大坐擁全港最大大學校園。依山而建，前臨吐露港，環境秀逸令人喜愛。其實中大面貌在過去半世紀不斷蛻變，校園裏的一草一木、一磚一瓦皆有來歷，值得中大人和社會大眾發掘和細味。
On 4 April, Professor Miles Taylor from the Department of History, University of York, U.K. visited CUHK. He was writing a paper on the university campus development around the world in 1960s, and CUHK was one of his research objects. Ms. Sintra Tsang the University Archivist received Professor Taylor on that day. She showed him the campus development video in the University Gallery, and shared the story “from barren hills to University town”, including the selection of campus location in the early days, the unification of three founding Colleges in the Shatin campus, as well as the campus design and planning, etc. Ms. Tsang also introduced Professor Taylor some relevant historical resources for his research, such as the Vice-Chancellor’s Reports in 1960s and 1970s, CUHK Development Plan Preliminary Report published in 1964, and campus maps in CUHK Calendars of different periods.
Built on a hillside and adjacent to Tolo Harbour, CUHK has the largest and most stunning university campus in Hong Kong. The landscape of CUHK has been constantly changing in the past half century, therefore the stories behind the architecture in the campus are worth exploring and savouring.
