As Confucius said “At fifty, I knew the decrees of Heaven.”, it is the mission of nurturing talents that we are accomplishing. In celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the College, we hope to express our gratitude to the founders of the College, to the chairman and members of Board of Trustees and Endowment Fund Committee, to our staff members, to our alumni and to all individuals who have contributed towards the steady development of United College. We also hope to exhort members of the community to support our development, and to call upon alumni and students to extend their support in our pursuit of excellence and fulfillment of the College’s mission to serve the people of Hong Kong and China and the world. I am going to share with you our Golden Jubilee celebrations and the main tasks we have accomplished, as well as our visions and challenges ahead. 1 Fung Kwok Pui October 2007 The Year under Review: Golden Jubilee United College marks an important milestone in the academic year 2006-07 ever since its foundation half a century ago. For the past 50 years, United College has been forging ahead with Hong Kong with its innovative efforts.

These programmes are organized for all stakeholders of the College, including trustees, members of Endowment Fund Committee, staff, students, alumni and friends. The programmes can be classified into seven categories, namely, Special Celebration Events, Academic Activities, Art and Cultural Programmes, Publication, Health Series, as well as Alumni and Student Activities.

The new directions set for the museums and the progress made in the past three years (2010-2012) are summarised in the ensuing paragraphs.

  • Some Historical Analysis of the Translating, Editing, and Publishing Process of the Collection of Albert Einstein in China
    Review Article UDC 02 (091)/Einstein Received May 2nd, 2006 Liu Bing Tsinghua University, Center of Science, Technology and Society, CN-100084 Beijing [email protected] Some Historical Analysis of the Translating, Editing, and Publishing Process of the Collection of Albert Einstein in China Abstract As in other countries, Einstein has been one of the most famous scientists in China. In 1970’s, the three volumes Collection of Einstein in Chinese have been selected, translated and published, which was the main sources for Chinese people knowing Einstein for long time, and even had important ideological influence. However, as the background of it, in China, there were very influential political movements related to criticism of science after 1949, which also influenced the decision, selection, progress and the way of the translating and publishing of Einstein’s works. Among the editors and translators, XU Liangying was a special and important person, who was originally a underground revolutionist before establishment of the Republic, and latterly became a historian of science. He spent nearly ten years to finish the most translation when he was a real peasant in countryside and a “righty” because of the “anti-righty“ movement. During the translating work and the pub- lication of Collection of Einstein in that special social, cultural and political context then, there were many things worth to look back and analyze their meanings by a historical per- spective reflection. Especially, the ideological symbolic implication related to the Einstein has been a very dominant characteristic in the history mentioned here.
