Mr. Charles Leung, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Prof. Henry Wong, Head of the College, delivered welcoming remarks at the ceremony. Mr. Wong Ho-chiu and Dr. Steven Luk, the editors of the publication, were also invited to share a few words about the preparation of the book.
The College has recently received a generous donation from Mr. Lee Kai-man of a piece of calligraphy which was given to Mr. Yan K'eng-wang by Mr. Ch'ien Mu in the 1940's. A ceremony for this donation was held at the exhibition's opening. The piece is currently displayed at the New Asia History Gallery.
