Hong Kong Shue Yan University

20世紀70年代香港大專學位嚴重不足，1971年胡鴻烈博士及鍾期榮博士，在跑馬地成和道自資創立樹仁書院，為中學畢業生提供升學機會。樹仁書院於1976年正式註冊為專上學院，定名樹仁學院。樹仁學院於2006年12月19日根據專上學院條例  （第 320 章），獲香港特區政府行政長官會同行政會議，批准正名為「香港樹仁大學」（仁大），成為本港首間私立大學。

In 1971, Dr. Henry H.L. Hu and Dr. Chung Chi Yung founded Shue Yan on Sing Woo Road, Happy Valley, in response to the acute shortage of tertiary places for local secondary school leavers aspiring for a university education. In 1976, Shue Yan College was registered under the Post-secondary Colleges Ordinance (Cap. 320). On 19 December 2006, Shue Yan College became the first private university in Hong Kong after it was renamed Hong Kong Shue Yan University (HKSYU) by order of the Chief Executive in Council.
