Founded in 1911, The University of Hong Kong (HKU) is the territory’s oldest institute of higher learning. Dr Sun Yat-sen studied from 1887 to 1892 at the College of Medicine for Chinese, Hongkong, which was incorporated into the HKU in 1912 as the Faculty of Medicine. Dr Sun visited the HKU on 20 February 1923 and gave a public speech in the Great Hall (now Loke Yew Hall), in which he declared that “Hong Kong and The University of Hong Kong are my intellectual birthplace”.
