足球狂熱 Football Fever

世界盃雖已曲終人散,猶記得八年前首次在百萬大道露天轉播決賽,同學、老師和校友踴躍投入,氣氛熱烈;今年就趁此機會回顧一下中大人的足球活動。

中大的兩大足球場——崇基學院嶺南運動場及夏鼎基運動場分別於1966年及1978年落成,為中大人切磋球技的主要場所。夏鼎基運動場啓用同年,足球成爲了中大體育的選修課。課堂之外,學生及教職員亦會各自組成隊伍,參與系˴院 ˴校際的比賽。例如1981年的「校長杯」教職員運動錦標賽,由中大行政部門及各學院對賽;「中大教職員足球會」亦於1992成立,定期進行練習及參與賽事;中大學生會更於1998年創辦「中大足球超級聯賽」,讓本科生自由組隊參加;聯賽曾停辦數年,2017年徇眾要求再次舉辦。2004年,為誌中大和香港大學協力對抗非典型肺炎,舉行「兩大校長盃」教職員足球賽,成為兩間大學一年一度的體育盛事;十四年以來,中大共贏九場、港大勝一場,四次打成平手。

此外,當然不得不提中大足球校隊。球員代表中大參加大專體育協會舉辦的「大專盃男子足球賽」,去年進入決賽,與香港教育大學爭奪冠軍寶座,雙方在法定時間踢成1:1,以十二碼分勝負,最終中大以總比數5:4擊敗對手,暌違23年再奪冠軍!

The World Cup 2018 has come to an end. We still remembered eight years ago, a crowd of about a thousand people had assembled at the CUHK’s University Mall watching live broadcast of the World Cup final on a huge projector screen. Let’s look back and recall some football activities at CUHK.

The two major football fields Chung Chi College’s Lingnan Soccer Pitch and The Sir Philip Haddon-Cave Sports Field were built in 1966 and 1978 respectively. In the same year of the opening of the Sir Philip Haddon-Cave Sports Field, students could take football as elective course of physical education. Beyond the classes, CU students as well as staff also like to form football teams to join inter-departmental / faculty / collegiate / university competitions. For instance the University organized the first “Vice-Chancellor’s Cup” (1981) which was a competition between the administrative staff and faculty members. The University staff formed the “CUHK Staff Football Team” (1992) to organize regular practice and play matches. The Student Union organized the “CUHK Super League” (1998) for the undergraduates. The League has been suspended for several years and resumed in 2017.  Another football event is “The Vice-Chancellor’s Cup” Soccer Match which was first played in 2004 to commemorate the collaboration of the two universities CUHK and the University of Hong Kong (HKU) during the SARS ordeal. In the past 14 years CUHK has won nine games, HKU has won once, and the teams have tied four times.

It is worth mentioning that in the final game of the “Men's Soccer Competition 2016-2017”, which was held by the University Sport Federation of Hong Kong (USFHK), CUHK competed with the Education University of Hong Kong (EDUHK) for the championship. The two teams tied 1:1 in the play time, and then CUHK defeated the opponent in penalty shootout by 5:4, bringing back the championship trophy after 23 years!

中大自1978/79學年開始,實施大學體育課程,為一年級學生必修課,另有選修課程,各年級學生可以自選。《香港中文大學概況》(一九七九至一九八零年度)中所見,足球課程只限男生選修,今日中大女生亦可選修足球了。
The University’s Physical Education Programme was fully implemented in 1978/79. Under this programme, physical education was required of all first-year students. There was also an elective programme open to students of all years. In CUHK Calendar 1979-80 we can see that Football courses were open for men only. Today there are football courses for both men and women.

大學檔案庫 University Archives Repository

為妥善保存香港中文大學之歷史文獻,大學檔案於2015年12月成立,它的使命是有系統地蒐集、整理、維護具永久保留價值的中大檔案。歷史檔案的整理是一項繁複的工作——從鑒定˴入藏˴分類˴編目˴描述˴修復˴儲存到使用,除了檔案人員的專業知識外,一個設備完善的檔案庫房是不可或缺的。檔案庫不同於一般的儲物倉庫,由於歷史檔案須永久保存,必須為之提供理想的環境,因此在選址˴設施規劃˴物料使用等都需要周詳的考慮。

大學檔案職員於走訪多個校内單位,知悉各中央部門的檔案儲存情況後,隨即向大學爭取一個足以應付大學檔案初創階段的檔案儲存空間需要。中大雖然擁有全港面積最大的大學校園,然而校務與日俱增,空間需求殷切,要為檔案覓得安身之所實在不易。經過數個月的考察及商議,大學領導層於2017年中批出一個約八十二平方米的房間,供檔案整理及儲存之用。檔案庫選址甚佳:位處大學本部的田家炳樓,既爲大學圖書館所在,亦毗鄰各重要的行政單位,有助緊密交流,為檔案工作帶來便利。

儘管如此,由於檔案庫所在地前身為辦公室,原間隔及許多設施並不符合檔案庫的要求,因此需要大幅改動。中大的校園發展處在此事上提供了極大的支援,例如與大學檔案商討規劃及物料,以充分利用空間;物色及督導裝修承辦商,以符合檔案庫的要求等。2017年12月檔案庫的裝修工程開始,歷時四個多月至2018年4月完工。工程耗資逾百萬港元,設施均達到專業標準:檔案庫設有嚴格溫度及濕度的控制,維持穩定的儲存環境;使用非灑水式的FM200氣體滅火系統;窗戶貼有防曬隔熱膜,再加上窗簾,有效阻隔紫外綫和降低室内溫度;另裝有閉路電視和電子保安系統。檔案庫選用優質的密集檔案架,足以儲存逾600公尺的檔案。

興建檔案庫最困難的部分為安裝空調機組。檔案庫儲存區位置的天花原本藏有空調及水管。可想而知,一旦發生水管滲漏或爆裂,會對檔案造成嚴重的破壞,因此我們將整個空調機組安裝到檔案庫的工作區的天花。然而由於工作區天花空間有限,部分組件需利用到檔案庫旁的兩個單位的天花部分。幸得兩個單位的負責人支持,工程才能夠順利完成,使儲存區得以完全免於水患。

檔案庫將於不久將來啓用,為研究人員、大學管理層、校友和同學提供研究和了解中大歷史和發展的各種資源。請定期瀏覽我們的網頁,緊貼我們的最新動向。

In order to preserve the historical records of the University, CUHK established its University Archives in December 2015. Its mission is to systematically collect, organize and preserve university documents that have enduring value. The processing of archives is a complicated task: from appraisal, accession, arrangement, description, conservation, storage, to providing access, each step of the process requires professional archives management knowledge, and in addition, a well-equipped archival repository is essential. Archival records ought to be preserved permanently. Unlike general warehouses, a desirable archival storage environment should attain stable temperature and relative humidity conditions. Hence, where we planned for the university archival repository, careful considerations to site selection, facility planning, and material used were given.

After conducting dozens of records surveys with administrative offices to identify historical records, the University Archives immediately requested a storage space from the University that was sufficient for the need of initial establishment. Although CUHK has the largest university campus in Hong Kong, the academic affairs and research activities are increasing day by day and the needs of space are keen, thus it is not easy to secure a place for the Archives. In 2017, after several months of investigation and discussion, the senior management of the University approved a room of about 82 m² in Tin Ka Ping Building as the archives repository. The room is located near the University Library and central administrative units of the University, which facilitates close communication with offices.

In spite of this, since the location of the repository was used as an office before, the original partition and facilities did not meet the requirements of archives, so a significant modification was necessary. CUHK's Campus Development Office had provided tremendous support in this matter. Colleagues of this office advised on space planning and material used in order to optimize the use of space. They also identified and supervised contractors to ensure all installations could fulfill the requirements. The renovation project began in December 2017 and lasted for about four months until April 2018. The project costs over HK$1 million and the facilities are up to professional standards:  an air handling unit (AHU) which could achieve strict temperature and relative humidity controls and maintain a stable storage environment; a non-sprinkler-type FM200 gas fire extinguishing system; window films plus curtains which can effectively block UV light and lower the room temperature; CCTV monitoring station and electronic security systems. The repository is equipped with high-quality compact shelving, which could accommodate more than 600 linear meters of records.

The most difficult part of the renovation work was the installation of AHU. The ceiling of the storage area of the repository originally contained fan coils and water pipes. It can be imagined that once the water pipes leak or burst, it would cause serious damage to the archives. Therefore, the pipes had to be removed. In order to maximize the space and avoid water damage, the new AHU was installed in the ceiling of the working area of the repository. However, due to the limited ceiling space in the working area, workers have to utilize the ceiling space of the two other units next to the repository in order to carrying out the installation work. Thanks to the support of the heads of the two units, the installation was successfully completed and the storage area is now free from water leakage risk.

The repository will be available for use soon. It will be a resource pool for researchers, administrators, alumni and our students to learn about the establishment, development and achievements of the University. Please visit our website to keep abreast of our latest development.

內地本科生在中大 CUHK’s Mainland Undergraduates

自中國推行改革開放政策後,中大與內地高等院校及學術機構交流日增。早於1980年代,中大已招收內地學生攻讀研究院課程。1997年香港回歸後,中大成立工作小組,與內地院校及有關單位接洽,商討招收內地本科生事宜,最後委託北京大學及上海復旦大學代辦招生,申請人必須已獲該兩所大學錄取。1998年9月,廿八名通過中大代表團面試的新生抵港,成爲首批入讀本港大學的內地本科生。廿八名新生中,十二人入讀工商管理學院,九人入讀工程學院,七人入讀社會科學院。為使新生適應香港的生活,中大安排不少輔導活動,協助他們處理學業及生活事務。書院及學院亦安排新生與教師聚會,使他們認識校內各種服務和設施。中大由2005年開始改變招生方式,通過「全國普通高校統一招生計劃」招收內地本科生。

中大自1998至今已招收逾三千八百名內地學生就讀本科課程,隨著更多的內地生入讀中大,2003年內地本科生成立了香港中文大學內地本科生聯合會,藉著舉辦各式各樣的活動,例如迎新營˴中華文化節等,加強內地生之間的聯繫和支援。

The exchanges between CUHK and mainland universities and research institutes has been growing since China adopted the Open Door Policy and economic reform. Earlier in the 1980s, CUHK had recruited the mainland students for postgraduate study. After the return of Hong Kong in 1997, a working group was set up to make arrangement to recruit undergraduates from the mainland. It was subsequently decided that applicants to CUHK have to be students already accepted for enrolment by either Peking University or Fudan University, who would help with the initial screening process. In September 1998, 28 mainland students, who had passed the interviews conducted by CUHK representatives, arrived in Hong Kong. They were also the first batch of mainland students studying in Hong Kong. Among those 28 students, 12 students had opted to major in the integrated BBA progamme, while the others had chosen to study in the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Social Science. Upon arrival at CUHK, a thorough orientation programme was organized to prepare them for their study and stay in Hong Kong. The Faculties and Colleges had also given them a warm welcome. In 2005 CUHK started to take part in the National Colleges and Universities Enrollment System.

CUHK has admitted over 3,800 mainland undergraduates since 1998. As more of them coming to the University, the mainland students established the Mainland Undergraduate Association (MUA) which aims at strengthening the ties of mainland undergraduates and enhancing communication with the University and the Colleges.
