Education constitutes the cornerstone of a nation. For the youth educated in tertiary institutions, do they all strive to be virtuous and talented to benefit society? Hence, the Chung Chi emblem bears the ancient motto, “In Pursuit of Excellence”. Shuowen Jiezi states: “止 (zhǐ) means the fundamental.” Therefore, by pursuing excellence as our fundamental, we establish another essential vision for our College.
