二、香港大学的历史
The Early Years
The University of Hong Kong (or HKU, as it is familiarly known to students, staff and alumni) is the oldest tertiary education institution in Hong Kong.
On March 16, 1910, Sir Frederick Lugard, the then Governor of Hong Kong, laid the foundation stone for the University.
The University was first incorporated in Hong Kong as a self-governing body of scholars by the University Ordinance on March 30, 1911.
On March 11, 1912, the University was officially opened, and Arts, Engineering and Medicine would become its first Faculties. The Faculty of Medicine evolved from the Hong Kong College of Medicine, founded in 1887. Of the College's early alumni, the most renowned was Dr Sun Yat-sen, often regarded as the founder of modern China.
In December 1916, the University held its first congregation, with just 23 graduates.
It was ten years after the founding of HKU that women students were admitted for the first time.
In 1937, Queen Mary Hospital opened and has served as the University's teaching hospital since then. Before the outbreak of the Second World War, which would bring academic activities to a halt, there were four Faculties - Arts, Engineering, Medicine, and Science.
After 1945, the University underwent structural developments as post-war reconstruction efforts began in earnest.
早年
香港大学简称港大(正如它学生、教员和校友们熟悉的那样)，是香港创办最早的高等教育机构。
1910年3月16日，时任香港总督的弗雷德里克卢吉爵士提议建立香港大学。
根据1911年3月30日香港大学条例，香港大学最先以自治的学者团体形式并入香港。
1912年3月11日，香港大学正式开放，文学院、工学院和医学院成为它的第一批学院。医学院的前身是创办于1887年的香港医学院。在医学院早期校友中，最著名的当数孙中山。他常被认为是现代中国之父。
1916年12月，香港大学举行第一届毕业典礼，当时只有23名毕业生。
香港大学建校十年之后才开始招收女学生。
1937年玛丽女王医院开放，自从以后一直作为香港大学的教学医院。二战前夕，香港大学有了四个学院，分别是文学院、工学院、医学院和理学院。二战则使学校的学术活动中止。
1945年之后，香港大学像经历了结构性的发展，战后重建工作坚定不移地展开。
From Post-War to the New Millennium
The study of architecture was first introduced to the University in 1951.
In response to the demands of a rapidly changing society, a Department of Extra-Mural Studies was established in 1956 to provide continuing adult education.
In 1961, when the University celebrated its golden jubilee, it had more than 2,000 students, four times greater than in 1941.
The Faculty of Social Sciences was established in 1967, and the Law Department in 1969.
In 1982, the Faculty of Dentistry, based at the Prince Philip Dental Hospital, was established. It remains Hong Kong’s only faculty for training dental professionals.
In 1984, both Architecture and Education became fully-fledged faculties, and in the same year a separate Law Faculty was created. The University’s tenth faculty, the Faculty of Business and Economics, was established in 2001.
In 1992, the Department of Extra-Mural Studies became the School of Professional and Continuing Education (HKU SPACE) and remains Hong Kong's largest tertiary-level institution for continuing education.
In 2011, the Centennial College was established by the University of Hong Kong as an independent college offering self-financed degrees accredited by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications.
战后到新世纪
建筑专业于1951年首次被引入香港大学。
为了满足快速变化的社会需求，课外课程部于1956年成立，旨在提供成人继续教育。
1961年，香港大学庆祝建校五十周年。这个时候学生人数已超过2千，是1941年学生人数的四倍。
社科学院成立于1967年，法学系成立于1969年。
1982年，以菲利普王子牙科医院为基地的牙科学院成立。它也是香港大学仅有的用于培训牙科专业人员的学院。
1984年，建筑学院和教育学院羽翼丰满，同年，单独的法学院成立。香港大学的第十个学院商务与经济学院成立于2001年。
1992年，课外课程部成长为职业与继续教育学院，一直是香港大学在高等教育阶段规模最大的继续教育机构。
2011年，Centennial College成立。它是一个独立的提供私费学位的学院。私费学位得到香港学术和职业资格认证委员会认证。
