President's Address

Professor Tony F CHAN

Distinguished guests, students, parents, colleagues,

ladies and gentlemen:

I would like to give you a very special welcome

to today's ceremony.

It

is special because this

is my first congregation as HKUST's third

president. I am feeling just as excited and nervous

as our graduates today. But what makes this

congregation even more special is that this year

our Business School's Joint EMBA program with

the Kellogg School of Business is again voted

the No 1 program of its kind by Financial Times

EMBA Global Rankings, the second in three years.

I wish to congratulate and thank Dean Leonard

Cheng and his colleagues for giving HKUST and

Hong Kong this top global honor.

The Business School is not the only jewel in

the crown. In Engineering and IT, we are ranked

26th, the only one in Hong Kong to have made to

the world top 50. But our engineering excellence

is not just about ranking. One of our engineering

alumni, Jack Lau, started his own cutting-edge

digital technology company about 12 years ago

in a village hut just next to the University. Today,

his company - Perception Digital - has an annual

turnover of hundreds of millions of dollars. He was

honored with the Ten Outstanding Young Persons

Award in 2000, a Young Industrialist Award in 2005,

and this year he took several awards including the

Excellence in Achievement of World Chinese Youth

Entrepreneurs Award. This much coveted trophy

was presented to him by the Chief Executive of

Macau SAR, Mr Edmund Ho Hau Wah, just a

4 I PRESIDENTS ADDRESS BY PROFESSOR TONY F CHAN

couple of weeks ago. So aim high, UST graduates.

Among your youthful faces I see many future Jack

Lau's.

Now let me come down to earth a bit. This

being my first congregation, I would like to

address my main message to our students, who are

the primary reason for the university's existence.

HKUST is just 18 years old. But look at how far we

have come. This university's quick success holds

a valuable lesson for all of us, especially for our

students and graduates. In many people's minds,

this university stands for an academic miracle, of

which the Top EMBA ranking is just a part. When

we live with purpose, when we have goals to

guide us, we achieve far more than

if

we simply

drift along.

Soon, many of you will be joining the

workforce. I urge you to set your goals early.

On a day-to-day basis, it may come in terms of

having a "to-do" list for your everyday duties or

short-term goals. Getting immediate results gives

you a powerful boost of energy. Even if you don't

achieve them all, you will come close. The famous

French philosopher, Jean Paul Sartre, the father

of Existentialism, once said that the meaning

of life lies in the projects we make and take. In

other words, life consists of a meaningful series of

projects, one after another. When we accomplish

one, we move on to the next. We don't measure

the meaning of our lives by the days that pass. We

measure them by the projects we complete and

the experience they give us.

Today, you have graduated. This marks the

completion of one of your major goals in life.

Now comes the next goal of starting a career

or proceeding to graduate studies. Here too,

I wish to share with you my own personal

observations. I know that your teachers have

given you advice, and so have your parents. But

as your new president, maybe I have earned the

right to indulge in a bit of advice-giving too.

Here is my message for you : Go through life

cheerfully, positively, taking the longer view, no

matter how low the position or how unglamorous

your job title. They say that attitude determines

altitude. But whatever you choose to do, do it

with passion. Success will come to those who

pursue their dreams with patience and passion.

For this we have an excellent role model in Prof

Charles Kao, this year's Nobel laureate in physics.

Forty years ago he foresaw the transmission of

optical signal over great distance - something

that was at the time unknown, unimagined, and

un-thought of. He was even ridiculed for his

breakthrough idea. Undaunted, he proceeded

to develop the theoretical foundations for the

optical transmission, which subsequently led to

a revolution in global communication via optical

transmission.

You have worked hard over the last few years

to earn your diploma today. I hope that you will

take with you more than your diploma or your

memories of university life. I hope you are also

taking with you the values of a liberal education.

A hallmark of a university student or graduate

is the humility to accept views that are different

from yours. Whenever I have to take a difficult

decision, I do not argue for my case. I argue for

my opponent's case as forcefully as I possibly can.

When all my opponents said: "Tony, this is a fair

presentation of our case", then I know I have truly

considered all the dissenting views. By that time

I might have even modified my own views. This

provides the basis for the best decision, and is the

root of true social harmony that we have heard so

much about lately. As the President of a university

at which diverse views blossom, you can rest

assured that to respect and encourage dissenting

views is one of my guiding principles.

There is yet another quality that we value as

members of this university. And that is to treat

time preciously and use it efficiently. Time is life.

We are each given a finite number of years on this

earth. The difference between an achiever and an

underachiever is in how he or she deploys time.

The current German Chancellor Angela Merkel is

said to have learned the Russian language while

waiting for the bus every day. All leaders and

achievers are superb time managers. Take care of

your time, and life will take care of you.

And now, let me help you celebrate your

achievements and mark an important passage in

your life, as I also mark an important passage as

your president for the next five years. I wish you all

the best of luck. And I hope you will wish me luck

too. As we each embark on our new life, I hope

the coming year will be a year of achievement.

Please come back to see me next year to compare

notes. The university's doors are always open to

you, for you are our most precious products.

Thank you.

校長講辭 陳繁昌教授 各位嘉賓、各位畢業生、各位家長、各位同事、 女士們、先生們: 今天，我以熱切的心情，歡迎大家蒞臨這個非 常特別的典禮。這是我首次以科大第三任校長的 身分參與科大的學位頒授儀式，我的心情與在座 的畢業生一樣，既興奮又緊張。但更令這個畢業 典禮增添特別意義的，是我們的商學院與美國西 北大學凱洛格 (Kellogg) 管理學院合辦的行政人員工 商管理碩士課程，在全球同類的頂尖課程中，再 次被金融時報選為世界第一;這已是科大過去三 年第二次榮登這個世界寶座。我想借此機會恭賀 及感謝商學院院長鄭國漢教授及有關同事作出的 貢獻。 但商學院絕對不是我們唯一的驕傲。在工程 和資訊科技方面，我們在世界上排名詣，是香港 大專院校中唯一名列世界榜首 50 名的學府。但我 們工學院的成就，不僅反映於它的世界排名，更 反映於一些活生生的成功實例。 12 年前，工學院 校友廖家俊博士在科大附近一問村屋內開始孕育 了他自己的尖端數碼科技公司;今天，他的公司 「幻音數碼」每年營業額高達數億元。廖博士於 2000 年獲選為十大傑出青年，亦於2005 年榮獲香 港青年工業家獎。今年，他又得到幾個獎項，包 括世界傑出青年華商獎。這獎項於大約兩星期前 由澳門特首何厚鋒先生頒發。我希望所有科大畢 業生都為自己訂立崇高的目標;我可以想像在你 們之中，將來會有更多廖家俊! 6 I 校長臻繁星數擾的護車 言歸正傳，今天我首次參與科大畢業典禮，我 想與在座畢業同學分享一些主要訊息，因為你們 可以說是大學存在的主要目的。科大創校短短 18 年，但已取得驕人成就。這所大學的迅速冒起的 經驗，給于我們，尤其是各位學生和畢業生，很 重要的參考意義。在很多人心中，科大標誌著一 個學術界的奇蹟;我們的行政人員工商管理碩士 課程只是奇蹟的一部分。我們活著就有理想、有 目標，就會比隨波逐流更有意義，更有成就。 在座大部分同學即將投身職場，我勸勉你們盡 早訂下目標。你們可以每天訂下工作清單或短期 目標，因為即時獲得的回報往往令你做事更有衝 勁。即使你們不能完成所有任務，但也不會離開 目標很遠。法國著名哲學家及存在主義始祖一 尚﹒保羅﹒沙特 (Jean

Paul

5a此時)曾說:生存的意 義在於我們完成了多少任務。換句話說，我們一 生包含一連串有意義的任務。當我們完成其中一 項任務，就會向下個目標進發。生命的意義不在 乎長短;我們應著眼於自己作出多少貢獻及從中 得到什麼示。 今天是你們畢業的大日子，標誌著你們完成 了人生旅途上一個重要里程。下一站，你們將會 開展自己的事業或繼續深造。我想跟你們分享一 些個人體驗;我知道你們的老師和父母已給予你 們很多意見和指引，但作為你們的新校長，我也 想借此機會再向你們提點一下。你們應該用喜樂 的心，正面地迎接生命，把目光放遠一點，不要

Doctor of Business Administration honoris causa

Professor Gregory C CHOW

Citation

Gregory C Chow has one unique ability: He

can make you feel dizzy. He does so with the

seemingly unending list of his accomplishments.

Even a laconic man like Ben Bernanke, the current

Chairman of the US Federal Reserve, needed over

one thousand words to sing his praises.

Prof Chow deserves every word of praise the

Federal Reserve Chairman heaps on him. Ladies

and gentlemen, fasten your seat belts, here comes

a partial list of the achievements of this

hyper-achieving economist.

Prof Chow has been elected a member of the

American Philosophical Society and a fellow of the

Econometric Society and of the American Statistical

Association. In 1979, Prof Chow was elected the

first president of the Society for Economic Dynamics

and Control. He was Chairman of the American

Economic Association's Committee on Exchanges

in Economics with the People's Republic of China

from 1981 to 1994 and Co-chairman of the u.S.

Committee on Economics Education and Research

in China from 1985 to 1994. And from 1987 to 1991

he was a member of the US-Hong Kong Economic

Co-operation Committee. Prof Chow has served as

consultant to IBM, Data General Corporation and

the World Bank. He is often called as an expert

witness in anti-trust and US-China economic

relations cases.

Ot~er

figures of historic importance have

monuments built in their honor, but Prof Chow has

something more immortal than bricks and mortar.

As a Director of the Econometric Research Program

at Princeton University for 27 years, he already

has this program renamed after him. But perhaps

even longer lasting is the "Chow test" which every

beginning student of econometrics learns by heart.

I

HONORARY OEGREE CITATIONS

Doctoral dissertations, by their tens of thousands,

usually die an obscure death, never to see the

light of day. But Prof Chow's at the University of

Chicago in 1955 has become a standard reference

in empirical economics. His dissertation was not

only published, it formed the basis for an extended

study from which emerged a statistical test for the

stability of a regression over time. This was the

birth of the famous "Chow test" which has stood

the test of time over the last half century.

Prof Chow is no ivory tower academic in love

with his own esoteric theories.

If

there is one

operative word about his work, it is "applicability".

He resigned his tenured professorship at Cornell to

join IBM. At that time, it was considered a highly

unconventional move. But Prof Chow loves the

world of applied economics. At IBM, he did highly

seminal work in studying the demand for money,

the demand for computers, and dynamic economics

generally. With his superb economic analysis skills,

he was invited to advise IBM on corporate planning

problems. Later, he was invited to advise top

government officials in Taiwan. What is amazing is

that he was able to straddle the treacherous Taiwan

Strait, also advising the top leaders in Beijing on

economic policies. He may thus be the only man to

master the inexplicable art of dispensing economic

advice apolitically, making himself welcome in

the inner sanctums of power on both sides of the

Taiwan Strait.

Here in Hong Kong, Prof Chow is no stranger.

He has studied and influenced our remarkable

economic performance in the past, winning him an

honorary professorship from the City University of

Hong Kong and an honorary doctorate from Lingnan

University. In fact, if we stretch it a bit, we can even

claim him as one of our own, considering that he

attended primary school in Hong Kong until the

Japanese occupied the city and served as adjunct

professor of our University in 1993-1994.

But now, Prof Chow belongs to a much bigger

stage: China, the world's newest major economic

power. He has earned his place of honor there,

having played a role in the historic transformation

of the Chinese economy from a planned economy

to a market economy. For his contribution to

the Chinese economy, Prof Chow is revered by

mainland decision-makers and educators alike.

He has done much in bringing the US and China

together in academic partnership in his capacity as

Chairman of the American Economic Association's

Committee on Exchanges in Economics with the

People's Republic of China from 1981 to 1994 and

as Co-Chairman of the US Committee on Economic

Education and Research in China from 1985 to

1994. With greater impact, he served as adviser

to the Chinese Premier and the Commission on

Restructuring the Economic System of the People's

Republic. These are influences other scholars can

only dream of.

Prof Chow's influence has filtered down to

other government organs and provincial seats

of power in China. He is adviser to the Natural

Science Foundation and an economic adviser to the

Shandong Provincial Government. Across the strait,

he is a member of the Academia Sinica.

But his next big contribution to China may be

in education. At Princeton, he has taught a popular

undergraduate course on the Chinese economy.

Back in the mid-1980's, he also organized a

three-year program to teach modern economics in China

under the auspices of the Chinese State Education

Commission. He helped organize graduate

economics training centers in Renmin University

(1985-1995) and in Fudan University (1987-1992)

and place Chinese graduate students to pursue a

PhD degree in economics at major US and Canadian

universities (1985-1988). Both programs resulted in

several hundred PhDs with many now working as

leading economists in China and in North America.

He has legions of admirers in Chinese academia,

having garnered honorary professorships from

Fudan, Shandong, Renmin, Guangxi, Hainan,

Huazhong Science and Technology, Nankai and

Zhongshan Universities as well as the Chinese

Academy of Sciences. Lingnan College paid him

the ultimate honor of making him their Honorary

President. Some of his books, of which there are

fourteen, are widely read in China, including

"The Chinese Economy"

(1985) and

"China's Economic Transformation"

(2002, 2007) in both the Chinese

and English editions.

As Ben Bernanke points out, Prof Chow

champions a new solution to dynamic economic

problems. His interest in the dynamic economy may

be a secret of his appeal, as government leaders seek

him out to meet the challenges of a global economy.

In the years to come, as his popular textbooks reach

a wider readership, his influence will grow further.

The names of his books alone will tell you how big

his shadow is likely to be:

''Analysis and Control

of

Dynamic Economic Systems"

(1975),

"Econometrics" (1983), "Understanding China's Economy" (1994), "Dynamic Economics"

(1997),

"Knowing China"

(2004), as well as

"China's Economics Education and Economic Reform"

(2007, in Chinese).

Prof Chow may have retired from Princeton in

2001, but he continues to teach in Princeton and the

power of his knowledge never wanes.

It

continues

to fertilize the minds of those who heed his advice

and read his analyses. His biggest living monument

may be the biggest economic change in China's

contemporary history.

Mr Chancellor, on behalf of the Council of the

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology,

I have the high honor of presenting to you Prof

Gregory C Chow, professor emeritus of Princeton

University, for the award of Doctor of Business

Administration

honoris causa.

'~~~~rf 工商管理學榮譽博士 鄒至莊教授 遭辭 鄒至莊教授擁有獨特的才能，他履歷表上數之不 畫的成就令人目眩。連一向言簡意敗的美國聯邦 儲備局主席伯南克也罕有地需要用上過于字去讚 揚他。 鄒教授豐碩的成就使伯南克讚詞裹的每一字句 都令人感到絕不誇張。女士們、先生們，請安坐 椅上，細聽這位傑出經濟學家的部分成就。 鄒教授曾是美國哲學學會會員，以及經濟計量 學會及美國統計學會院士。 1979 年，鄒教授獲選 為首位動態經濟及控制學會會長。 1981 至 1994 年 問他更是美國經濟學會的對華經濟交流委員會主 席，更在 1985 至 1994年間擔任中國經濟教育及研 究美國委員會的聯席主席。於 1987 至 1991 年問他 獲選為美國香港經濟合作委員會委員。鄒教授 曾先復出任國際商業機器 (IBM) 、 Data

General

Corporation與世界銀行顧問。他更經常擔任反壟 斷及中美經濟關靜、案件的專家誰人。 一般歷史偉人的功積，通常會記載於紀念碑 上，但是鄒教授的貢獻卻比磚石更能名留青史。 鄒教授曾任美國普林斯頓大學經濟計量學研究科 主任 27 年;該課程後來更以他命名。然而，更為 外界所廣泛起識的是他的「鄒氏測試 J 這是每 個經濟科學生必然熟知的基本知識。 無數的博士論文最終都可能被東諸高閣，獨 是鄒教授 1955 年在美國芝加哥大學發表的博士論 文，卻成為驗證經濟學的經典參考書。他的博士 10 I 賭博士的辦 論文不但獲得出版，後來更逐漸延伸成為一個統 計測試。這個著名的「鄒氏測試 J '已經歷了長達 半個世紀的考驗。 鄒教授絕對不是一個只沉醉於深奧理論的象 牙塔學者。他的理論，是可以切切實實地應用。 他放棄了美國康乃爾大學的終身教授職位而加入 IBMo 當時，這個轉變很多人都感到愕然，但事實 上鄒教授一貫醉心研究的是應用經濟學。在IBM 工 作期間，他主要的研究領域集中於貨幣供應和電 腦供求，以及一般動態經濟學。基於他卓越的經 濟學分析能力，他獲 IBM 邀請提供企業規劃諮詢 服務。其後，他獲邀為台灣省主要官員提供顧問 意見。令人讚歎的是鄒教授能夠跨越海峽兩岸， 同時為北京領導人提供經濟政策的顧問服務。能 夠岡時為海峽兩岸提供經濟建議的，可能只有鄒 教授一人了。 對於香港人，鄒教授並不陌生，他曾深入研究 香港過往的經濟表現;這些研究成果對香港的經 濟發展影響深遠。繼香港城市犬學頒發榮譽教授 後，他又獲得續南大學榮譽博士學位。事實上， 鄒教授也是香港的一分子，因直到抗戰前夕，他 一直在香港接受小學教育，並於 1993 至 1994年間 出任香港科技大學客座教授。 現在，鄒教授馳騁於一個更大的舞臺 中國，一個嶄新蠅起的世界經濟大國。中國由計 劃鐘濟步向市場經濟的轉型中，鄒教授扮演了一 個重要角色。他對中國作出的貢獻，使他深受中

Doctor of Science honoris causa

Professor Daniel C TSUI

Citation

The life of Prof Daniel C Tsui, the Nobel laureate

in physics, is the modern Cinderella story in three

acts. Act one began in China where he came

from the humblest of origins. His early years

were spent in a poor and remote part of China's

Henan province. Born into a family of unschooled

farmers, he had little chance of formal schooling.

But this did not stop his parents from harboring

dreams of scholarship for him.

Act two opened in Hong Kong, then the refuge

for those seeking a better life away from the

turmoil on the mainland. At the age of 12, his

parents saw an opportunity for their son to escape

the poverty trap and sent him to the care of his

two older sisters in Hong Kong in hopes of giving

him the privilege of getting an education. Despite

not knowing Cantonese, the teaching language,

he excelled in every subject at Pui Ching Middle

School. With his heart set on entering the University

of Hong Kong, he discovered to his consternation

that physics was required for admission to the

university, but for lack of a physics teacher, it was

not taught at the school. In his typical self-reliant

way, the young boy obtained a copy of "College

Physics" by Sears and Zemansky, and basically

taught himself the subject in the supportive

company of two schoolmates driven by the same

university dream.

Staffed by highly qualified professors from

the mainland who came to Hong Kong to escape

the war in China, Pui Ching Middle School is a

cradle for the nurturing of natural scientists.

It

is proof that having teachers with a passion for

and mastery of their subjects, a Chinese school

12

I

HONORARY OEGREE CITATIONS

is capable of sowing the seeds of great learning

for the finest scholars. The seeds of interest were

sowed early in the mind of this future Nobel

laureate.

But Prof Tsui's future was not to be in Hong

Kong.

It

was in the United States, the scene for

the third act and the full flowering of his scientific

talents. As fate would have it, he was offered a

full scholarship by Augustana College where he

completed the four-year bachelor degree program

in three years. Besides earning his degree, he

also earned the coveted title of "Mr Friendship"

for his conviviality, modesty and quiet sense of

levity. When he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in

1998, he became the only Nobel laureate to come

from Augustana College which subsequently and

proudly conferred upon him its own honorary

doctorate.

His earned doctorate, however, came from

the University of Chicago in 1967. The choice

of Chicago was by no means accidental.

It

was

the intellectual home of China's first Nobel

laureates in physics, CN Yang and TD Lee. He

was determined to follow in their footsteps. So it

was natural that he gravitated to the University of

Chicago, the habitat of his heroes. He stayed on

for a year to do postdoctoral work before joining

the Solid State Electronics Research Group at the

Bell Labs in New Jersey. He was to remain at Bell

Labs for over 13 years. In 1982, Prof Tsui, together

with his colleague Horst Stormer experimentally

discovered what has since become known as

the Fractional Quantum Hall (FQH) Effect. This

discovery has profoundly influenced the direction

of inquiry in condensed matter physics over the

past two and half decades. In his own words, he

wandered into a new frontier, the so-called physics

of two-dimensional electrons.

It

has turned into

a sizzling research topic by experimental and

theoretical physicists everywhere ever since.

It

allows physicists to better understand the behavior

of electrons in the early universe, and is useful in

the development of memory for computers by

allowing physicists to use the fractional charges of

quasi particles instead of the whole number values

of electron charge. In 1998, he was honored for

his discovery as a co-recipient of the Nobel Prize

in Physics.

The same year that he discovered the FQH

effect, he decided to leave Bell Labs to join

Princeton University as a professor of electrical

engineering. People were puzzled by this move,

as his strength appeared to be in experimental

physics. Even he himself did not completely

comprehend this decision, except to say that it

must have something to do with his deep-seated

childhood deprivation and desire of learning

through teaching. He was secretly yearning to

answer the call of Confucius, to pursue the only

meaningful life, the life of learning, and the

sharing of learning through teaching.

Prior to the Nobel Prize, Prof Tsui had already

received several top American national awards

in physics. In 1984, he was awarded the Buckley

Prize by the American Physical Society. In 1988,

he was the winner of the Benjamin Franklin

Medal in Physics, the highest honor in physical

science in the US.

Prof Tsui's historic achievements were the

direct result of hard work, of 18-hour days and

seven-day weeks. And yet it would be a mistake

to call scientific work hard work, for research was

to him a "joyous, challenging, meaningful and

rewarding undertaking", where he was allowed

to tinker and do table-top experiments.

It

is this

insatiable curiosity that as a teacher he wants

to inculcate in his students.

It

is this quality

that Hong Kong students need to cultivate and

emulate.

Prof Tsui's Cinderella story would have been

complete, except that he was denied its perfect

fairy tale ending, for he was never to see his

parents again. These two simple souls who in

an act of supreme self-sacrifice sent him away to

pursue a life of learning they never enjoyed. Could

it be that his 29 years as a professor at Princeton

University is a sublimation of his desire to honor

his parents? Without doubt, it is a calling both his

parents and Confucius would have approved.

Mr Chancellor, on behalf of the Council of the

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology,

I have the high honor of presenting to you Prof

Daniel C Tsui, Professor of Electrical Engineering

at Princeton University, for the award of Doctor of

Science

honoris causa.

崔琦教授

讚辭 諾貝爾物理學獎得主崔琦教授的故事，是現代灰 姑娘的故事，分成三幕上演。第一幕於中國內地 發生，是他成長的卑微背景。他的童年於中國河 南省貧窮而偏遠的農村度過，很少機會接受正統 教育;父母是目不識丁的農民。雖然如此，物質 的困乏卻無法攔阻父母以教育為他鋪設最美好的 前路。 故事的第二幕於香港展開。 12 歲那年，崔琦的 父母看準機會，設法幫助他們的愛于離開貧困的 家鄉，並讓他跟隨兩位姊姊在香港生活，爭取接 受更佳教育的機會。他在香港入讀培正中學，雖 然他當時並不懂得老師講課用的廣東話，但仍然 於各個科目取得極佳的成績。他一心想入讀香港 大學，卻轉然發現就讀的中學由於缺乏物理科老 師，沒有開設港大收生要求的物理科課程。崔琦 向來自食其力，於是自行覓得西爾斯和澤曼斯基 的《大學物理}教科書，與兩位同樣希望考入大 學的同學並肩作戰，自修自學物理。 事實土，培正中學當時是自然科學家的搖籃。 校內許多老師均是中國內地的出色教授，來到香 港逃避戰亂。這所學校證明，一所中文中學只要 有充滿熱忱及對任教科目有重富知識的老師，就 絕對可提供最佳的學習環境，播下種籽以培養最 優秀的學者。在人生的初段，老師已經播下良好 的種籽，培養崔琦對學衛的興趣，為將會成為諾 貝爾獎得主的他作好準備。 14 持傳士帽華 然而崔琦的將來，並不局限於香港。他繼而 勇闖美國，即是故事第三幕的場景，也是他科學 才華開花結果的土地。命運將他帶到奧古斯塔 納學院，就是他獲得本科生全獎學金的地方。 他於三年內完成四年制的大學課程，除了以優 異成績取得學位外，還因為樂觀幽默、謙遜有 禮、及溫文爾雅而贏得「友誼先生」的美譽。他 於 1998 年贏得諾貝爾獎之後，成為奧古斯塔納 學院首位諾貝爾獎得主，而該學院更特別為他 頒發榮譽博士學位。他修讀博士學位的學府是 芝加哥大學，並於 1967 年畢業。他選擇入讀這所 大學，並非出於偶然。芝加哥大學是最早的華人 諾貝爾獎得主楊振寧及李政道進行研究的地方。 崔教授決意要步他們的後塵，到傑出學者雲集的 大學，以他心目中的英雄為榜樣。擔任博士後研 究員一年後，他加入新澤西州貝爾研究所固體電 子學研究實驗室工作日年。 1982 年，他與同事 斯托默 (Horst Stormer) 透過實驗發現後來稱為分 數量子霍爾效應的現象 (Fractional

Quantum Hall

(FQH) Effect)

0 這項發現對其後25 年有關凝聚物質 物理學的研究方向有深遠的影響。用他自己的話 來說，他從此進入了稱為二維電子物理學的全新範 疇。這個範疇亦成為各地實驗及理論物理學家趨之 若驚的研究題目。它幫助物理學家更深入了解宇宙 早期電子粒的特性與表現;同時幫助物理學家使用 分數值的電荷準粒子、而不是整數值的電子電荷， 對發展電腦記憶有極大用處。 1998 年，他成為 諾貝爾物理獎的共同得獎者之一。

Doctor of Business Administration honoris causa

Dr the Honorable Joseph YAM Chi-Kwong

Citation

In Hong Kong's 160-odd-year history, only one

person has ever been called the czar of anything.

That person is Joseph Yam Chi Kwong, the "Czar"

or founding Chief Executive of the Hong Kong

Monetary Authority. He earns this epithet partly

by his longevity at the post, having served as its

chief for sixteen and a half years, longer than many

central bankers in other economies. The other

reason for the honorific is the total autonomy he

enjoyed while running the Authority.

This autonomy was not bestowed on him by

virtue of his position. He earned it by his sheer

professionalism and integrity.

As Hong Kong's de facto central banker,

Dr Yam is our official chronic worrier over the

soundness and stability of our financial and

monetary system. In the best tradition of Chinese

public leaders throughout history, he obsessively

worried ahead of the rest of us, and he has both

the worry lines and a head of luxuriant grey hair

to prove it.

In Dr Yam's office were two strong boxes, one

containing the contingency plans for worst-case

scenarios - the so-called "What

If"

safe. In the

other he kept the sensitive materials associated

with the discharge of his duties. The calm exterior

he showed to the world was often the result of his

preparedness and his propensity to "expect the

unexpected".

His official worrying days may now be over,

having stepped down on the first of October this

year. But Dr Yam is a man at peace with himself,

16

I

HONORARY DEGREE CITATIONS

in the fullness of knowledge that he has left the

Monetary Authority in a splendid shape. In a year

when the world is still in the throes of the

once-in-a-century financial tsunami, he is unworried

if the foundations he has laid are strong enough

to help our economy weather the tail end of this

fierce storm.

Dr Yam was educated in economics and

statistics in his undergraduate years. But no

formal training could prepare him for the major

challenges he was to encounter in setting up

the Monetary Authority. In a sense, Dr Yam

had to teach himself everything from scratch in

establishing Hong Kong's de facto central bank.

He may be the world's best-known, self-taught

central banker. The Monetary Authority has two

principal functions, the supervision of financial

institutions and the regulation of financial

markets, including the conduct of monetary

policy. This duality of functions requires skills

that are mutually reinforcing. In assembling his

management team, he was careful to recruit

people with intimate knowledge in one or the

other. In doing so, he built a system that is quite

unique to Hong Kong. Other systems in the world

keep these two domains separate. But this dual

functionality may explain the long-term stability

of our banking system over the years. Dr Yam

is of the view that his staff must know what the

market is doing, giving the Hong Kong monetary

system both flexibility and a firm grasp of market

information.

We live in an interconnected world. Many of

the economic crises are often not of our making.

During Dr Yam's tenure, Hong Kong had been

through times of uncertainty and peril: the 1997

handover, SARS, the dotcom bubble, the property

bubble, the Asian financial crisis, and now the

global financial tsunami. With his steady hand,

and a firm gaze over the horizon, he steered Hong

Kong through choppy waters. Even in the current

economic turmoil, the Hong Kong economic

harbor is surprisingly calm and unworrying.

To the general public, Dr Yam is perhaps

best known for two things: the role he played

in establishing the Linked Exchange Rate, by

which the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US

greenback, earning him the nickname "Mr 7.8".

The other refers to his successful and massive

intervention to beat back the predatory speculators

determined to manipulate our smallish market. At

that time, he carne under fire from those who were

aghast at his bold gamble. Years later, they would

heap praise on him, including none other than the

former Chairman of the US Federal Reserve, Alan

Greenspan. Emerging unscarred from the battle,

Dr Yam has since become known as the man

who successfully outmaneuvered the speculators,

calming and consolidating Hong Kong's financial

and monetary markets.

In a moment of modesty, Dr Yam says that

he might not always be right, but that he aimed

always to be less wrong. To him, it was all a matter

of preparation plus an uncanny sense of timing.

For his enduring and enormous contribution to

Hong Kong's financial and monetary stability,

Dr Yam was awarded the SAR Government's

Gold Bauhinia Star in 2001. This year, this legacy

was again recognized when the Grand Bauhinia

Medal (GBM), the SAR Government's highest

honor, was conferred upon him. For the same

heroic achievement, he has been showered with

academic honors by several local and regional

universities.

It

is no small achievement that in a recent poll,

Dr Yarn was voted the man investors trusted the

most in following or reading the market. He felt

that his natural constituency is the citizens of

Hong Kong and its investing public. He seems to

relish the plaudits from the public more than any

institutional approbation, quoting with pride an

online doggerel by an investor, "When Chieftain

Yam is in command, the people of Hong Kong

have no fears or cause for alarm." In his media

sound bites, Dr Yarn always appeared measured

and deliberate. But in private conversations,

he allowed himself a discernible display of

emotion about his principles and convictions.

His overriding rock-hard principle is that as a

public servant, he is absolutely above personal

considerations. Over the last sixteen and a half

years, he has built a team of mission-driven

professionals who hold themselves accountable

to the people of Hong Kong. When it comes to

his colleagues, this outwardly hardened "czar"

has a soft core, brimming with pride over a team

of solidarity on which much of Hong Kong's

monetary and financial stability depends.

Now out of office, he may like to think of

himself as an ordinary "Joe", but the Joseph Yam

we know will always be an extraordinary leader

who has done extraordinary things his way. To his

admirers, Joseph Yam is pure gold. They say that

he is constitutionally incapable of falsity. But they

also warn you not to play chess with him, for he

is always several moves ahead of you. And that

is just what we like about the only "czar" in our

city's history.

Mr Chancellor, on behalf of the Council of the

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology,

I have the high honor of presenting to you Dr the

Honorable Joseph Yam, former Chief Executive of

the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, for the award

of Doctor of Business Administration

honoris

causa.
