本年度的開學禮於九月十二日(星期五)在邵逸夫堂舉

行。院長沈祖堯教授在典禮上致辭。他從北京奧運談起，

奧運會顯示全國人民以其國家及中國人身份自豪。除了令

人讚嘆的奧運會開幕禮，中國取得歷來最多的金牌外，最

重要的，是讓世人看到一個新紀元的誕生—中國真的開

放了，一個強國正在冒起，一條遠古巨龍已經甦醒。

院長激勵同學和老師，大家應以身為逸夫人而驕傲。

他明白我們的設施未必最好，資源未必最多，歷史亦非悠

久，可是我們的精神卻是最好的。過去數年，同學在體

育、戲劇和辯論比賽屢創佳績，奪得多個大獎，而且表現

積極，參予書院委員會的老師和同事都熱心支持和投入。

這些是書院最豐富的資源。

院長呼籲同學多參予書院活動，體現團結精神。他

又促請老師視同學如己出，培養他們成為有承擔的知識分

子。同學和老師可以一同參予書院各項活動，以實現書院

的口號「臻善存德 居高懷仁」。

他又引用約翰甘迺迪的名句，提醒逸夫人先想想自

己可以為書院貢獻甚麼。他以美國總統候選人奧巴馬的話

作結，勉勵逸夫人不應等待轉變的時機和人物，要坐言起

行，因為未來就掌握在自己的手漢，讓書院以每一位逸夫

人為傲！

同一場合，院長向會眾逐一介紹坐在臺上的教職員及

學生代表。在暑期往四川考察地震災後情況的同學，隨後

分享他的見聞。開學禮上，院方還頒發多個非學術獎項。

The College Commencement Assembly was held on 12 September 2008 (Friday) at Sir Run Run Shaw Hall . Professor Joseph Sung, the College Head, started his speech by referring to the Olympic Games i n B e i j i n g . T h e G a m e s c l e a r l y demonstrated how Chinese were proud of their country and being C h i n e s e . W h a t i m p r e s s e d t h e world, apart from the magnificent opening ceremony and the record-breaking number of gold medals won, was that the Games marked a new epoch – an opening up of China. People saw a strong nation emerging and an ancient dragon waking up.

Professor Sung challenged the students and teachers to make them proud to be a member of Shaw College. He understands that the College may not have the best facilities, the largest funding and the longest history. However, the College has the best spirit. Teachers, tutors and officers are the invaluable resources. Shaw people are young and innovative. During the past few years, students have performed exceptionally well in sports, drama and debates. Teachers and officers serving on various college committees demonstrate that they have heart and passion for the College. These are the college largest resources.

Professor Sung also appealed to students to take part in college activities so that people could see their solidarity. He also urged teachers to mentor the students, like their sons and daughters and helped them grow up to be knowledgeable and responsible adults. Through all these, the college slogan “Excellence with a soul, leadership with a heart” will be achieved.

By quoting the famous JFK speech, Professor Sung reminded Shaw fellows “Ask not what the College can do for you, ask what you can do for your college”. He then concluded his speech by using Obama’s speech, reminding Shaw people not to wait for the time and person for change. The future is in their hands and they must let the college proud because of them.

The same occasion, teachers and student representatives present were introduced to the audiences by the College Head. The student went to Sichuan for a site visit after earthquake had a short presentation. Several numbers of non-academic scholarships were presented at the Assembly.

Since its founding, the College has been promoting the cultivation of virtue and pursuit of knowledge for its students. The college motto ‘xiude jiangxue’ actually carries this meaning. It comes from a saying of Confucius. In Book VII of the Analects of Confucius, the Master said, “It is these things that cause me concern: failure to cultivate virtue; failure to go more deeply into what I have learned; inability, when I am told what is right, to go over to where it is; and inability to reform myself when I have defects.” The cultivation of virtue and the going more deeply into what one has learned are placed by Confucius at the head of the list of things that caused him concern. A man of sound moral character eagers to make new discoveries on the strength of existing knowledge is, in the eyes of Confucius, close to the ideal of the gentleman.

Based on the college motto, the college slogan has been created to echo the meaning of the motto. The college slogan is “Excellence with a soul, leadership with a heart”. It embodies the ideal of pursuing excellence with a soul and leading with a heart. This in fact aligns with the caring theme advocated by the College Head. Students are encouraged to go to the community or even overseas to contribute their efforts to help and show how they care the people in need.

L a s t y e a r , t h e C o l l e g e l a u n c h e d t h e C o m m u n i t y Service Programme attracting quite a number of students to participate. Students planned and created their own local community service projects. These projects realize the College’s caring spirit and students have benefited a lot from participating. After the earthquake in Sichuan, the rebuilding work is considered to be urgent. Through the arrangement of Wu Zhi Qiao Charitable Foundation, a college student was sent to Sichuan to have a site visit. After which, further planning on assistance to be offered is now in progress. This project will be continuing and requires the participation from more students.

B e s i d e s t h e s i t e experience mentioned above, the College has already invited people of different background a n d w i t h u n i q u e l i f e experiences to come and deliver talks to students at the new ‘High Table Dinners’. More details on the Dinners can be found in the next article.

逸夫書院自創院以來，一直鼓勵同學培養品德和追求學

問。院訓「修德講學」就是這個意思。「修德講學」出自《論

語．述而》，孔子曰:「德之不修，學之不講，聞義不能徙，

不善不能改，是吾憂也。」只有修養品德，追求學問，兼而行

之，修德以居仁由義，講學以溫故知新，兩者兼備，才接近君

子的境界。最近，書院以院訓為基礎，創作了一個宏揚書院精

神的口號，名為「臻善存德 居高懷仁」，此口號與院訓互相

呼應，強調同學在追求卓越之餘仍注重操守，居於領導地位仍

保持仁心。事實上，此口號和院長一直推廣的關懷主題互相配

合，院長鼓勵同學走到社區，以至國外，實踐關懷他人的目

的，以一己之力幫助需要援助的人。

過去一個學年，書院推出的社區服務計劃，吸引不少逸

夫同學參加。同學身體力行，自行策劃和構思本地社區服務計

劃，實踐書院的關懷精神。這些計劃對同學的成長大有裨益。

四川發生大地震後，重建工程刻不容緩，書院通過「無止橋基

金會」的安排，讓一名同學作先頭部隊，實地觀察災後情景，

從而構思可以提供的協助。此項計劃實施過程將較漫長，需要

更多同學主動參予。

除了以上安排，讓同學親身到達現場體驗，書院亦邀請

來自不同背景、具有獨特人生經驗的社會人士，來校作晚間演

講，名為「高桌晚宴」，詳情見右篇。

Starting from this academic year, the College has launched the High Table Dinners to replace the former Dinner Lectures. Initiated by Professor Joseph Sung, the College Head, High Table Dinners are actually a long tradition at the student halls of the University of Hong Kong, Professor Sung’s alma mater. Professor Sung learned a lot from similar activities when he was a student. He therefore would like to introduce this tradition to Shaw College.By listening to the sharing of speakers, it is hoped that students can widen their horizon in different aspects. Their participation may also enhance their sense of belongings to the College. Moreover, teachers will be invited to join and thus there will be more interaction between teachers and students.

All year two or above students are welcome to register for the Dinners. Some seats are reserved for non-local students. As most of the talks will be delivered in Cantonese, non-local students plan to join are encouraged to invite friends who know Cantonese to be their interpreters. By doing so, non-local students can learn more about Shaw College as well as having more exchange with local students.

The Dinners are set as formal occasions for students to meet with the speakers, mingle with teachers and their peers. A reception will be held before the dinners to allow students to chat with the guests and get to know teachers attending. Dinner and talk will then follow. Each time, two students will host the talk and interview the guest speakers. Background information research is necessary to facilitate the talk. Purpose of which is to let students learn and experience how to be interviewers. Also, with their inputs and involvement, the talk will be more interactive.

Speakers have been specially chosen and they are often with unique life experiences. For the first term, the College has invited Mr. Ching Cheong (famous media worker), Pun Chai (paralysis patient who writes a book on euthanasia), Professor Sydney Chung (former Dean of Faculty of

Medicine, CUHK) Mr. Eric Suen (Shaw alumnus and singer) and Mr. Chong Chan-yau (Director o f S t u d e n t D e v e l o p m e n t , Personal Development and Counselling Centre, HKU).

M r . C h i n g C h e o n g and Pun Chai spoke at the H i g h Ta b l e D i n n e r s o n 16 September and 30 September 2008 respectively. Each talk attracts over 100 participants. Students in general responded a c t i v e l y a n d p o s i t i v e l y t o the sharing.

書院本學年開始舉辦高桌晚宴，以取代

過往的學術聚餐。高桌晚宴由院長沈祖堯教

授引入。晚宴本為香港大學舍堂的傳統，沈

教授在學時亦參加，他覺得獲益良多，因此

建議引入。書院希望藉著嘉賓來校與同學分

享見聞，擴闊同學的視野和增強他們對書院

的歸屬感。書院亦邀請老師參與，以促進師

生互動。

二年級或以上的同學，均可報名參加晚

宴。院方亦預留部分名額予非本地同學。大

部分的晚宴以粵語主講，參加晚宴的非本地

同學最好邀請一位懂粵語的同學一同出席，

並充當翻譯。院方認為這個安排，不但讓非

本地同學更了解書院，而且可以認識更多本

地的同學。

晚宴的安排比較正規，旨在使同學與主

講嘉賓、出席老師及同學多方面交流。演講

開始前，有一個簡單的接待會，讓同學和主

講嘉賓及老師淺談，互相認識，晚宴和講座

則緊隨其後。每次晚宴由兩位同學主持講座

環節，負責訪問嘉賓。為此，他們需要事前

搜集有關講座嘉賓的資料。負責該環節的同

學可從中學習如何擔任採訪工作。同學的參

予和投入，使講座之互動作用更有效。

每位主講嘉賓都經過精心挑選，具有

獨特的人生經驗。上學期獲邀出席的包括程

翔（著名傳媒工作者）、斌仔（癱瘓病人、

《我要安樂死》的作者）、鍾尚志教授（中

大醫學院前院長）、孫耀威先生（逸夫校

友、歌手)和莊陳有先生（香港大學學生輔導

處學生發展總監）。

程翔先生和斌仔分別於九月十六日和

三十日主持晚宴。兩次活動，各吸引超過

一百名師生參與。出席晚宴的師生對嘉賓的

分享，反應熱烈。

The Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences 2008 was shared by Professor Vladimir Arnold and Professor Ludwig Faddeev for their fundamental and wide spread contributions to Mathematical Physics. The Shaw Prize Lecture by these two Laureates was hosted by Shaw College on 10 September 2008, which was well received by more than 500 colleagues and students from various institutions the public in Hong Kong. Each Laureate presented in about half an hour their views and perspectives on Mathematical Sciences, Mathematical Physics, and the natural roles played by mathematics in sciences in general. A question-and-answer session then followed. Contrary to the common belief that such high level mathematical talks could be very abstracted and difficult to understand for a general audience, the lectures are very educational, inspiring, lively, and interesting for most of the students in the audience.

Professor Arnold is one of the world’s most prolific mathematicians, who has made fundamental contributions in numerous areas of mathematics including dynamical

system theory, classical and celestial mechanics, singularity theory, topology, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, hydro-dynamics, mathematical physics, and combinatorial theory. Many of his results have important applications in other branches of sciences. He is wildly admired by his ability to discover the natural interrelations between very different subjects. In his lecture titled “Mathematics of Chaos”, Professor Arnold illustrated through simple and concrete examples how to naturally relate the randomness of a sequence of numbers to the ergodic theor y in dynamical systems, number theory, combinatorics, and

cryptography. He emphasized the experimental aspects of his studies of chaotic behavior of mathematical objects. He argued strongly against the common opinion that mathematics is a chain of deductive reasonings, leading from one well established fact to the other. Instead, a good mathematician has to use hundreds of examples, hints, conjectures, rather than the rigorous deductions, to obtain any new knowledge.

In the lecture named “What is Quantum Mathematical Physics”, Professor Faddeev describes the evolution of the term “Mathematical Physics” and relations between Mathematical Physics and Theoretical Physics by some examples from his

own scientific life. MP used to be mathematical methods for theoretical physics. However, the advent of Quantum Mechanics led a completely new content for the MP, the quantum MP, where functional analysis (especially spectrum theory), Lie groups, modern algebraic topology and geometric ideas became an essential tool. Professor Faddeev stated that although the goals of Theoretical Physics and MP are essentially the same, yet the methodological aspects are rather different. As a founder of the Quantum Mathematical Physics, Professor Faddeev may be the most qualified speaker for this topic. It is

very interesting to me to hear from Professor Faddeev the role of mathematics played in his successful scientific life!

There were many interesting ideas in both lectures. One common theme is that the goal of mathematical physics is not only to prove theorems about the results known to physicists, but rather to use mathematical intuitions and powers to get new results, still unknown to physicists. This should be true for all other branches of applied mathematics.

Professor Xin Zhouping is the Associate Director of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He was the moderator at the Lecture.

Professor Michael Tam, Associate Dean (Student Affairs) of Faculty of Medicine and Head of Department of Physiology loves diving. His exploration of the underwater world started six years ago. During the past six years, he has taken many nice photos. Professor Tam likes to go to places along the Pacific Rim and he usually makes four trips per year. Other than traveling around the magnificent underwater world, he enjoys very much the quietness and rather primitiveness at places where he dives. Professor Tam has chosen three photos from his collections to share with the readers.

鰻魚旁邊，有一隻小蝦擔當「清道夫」的角色。小蝦倚靠拾大魚牙縫和鱗片間的食物為生，同時為大魚的身體清潔。There is a cleaner shrimp on the side of the Moray eel acting as scavenger. The shrimp obtains its food by picking at the eel’s teeth and scales, at the same time cleansing the eel. This was taken at Puerto Galera of the Philippines.

潛水人士都愛這類尖咀魚，它們顏色多樣又獨特，而且與四周融為一體，一般不易被發現。你能看到它而且分辨它的頭、鰭和尾嗎？Divers love Ghost pipefish, colorful and distinctive. They blend in so well with their surroundings that they are very difficult to find. Can you see the fish and identify the head, fins and tail? This was taken at Bohol of the Philippines.
