各位同事、同學、校友及各界友好：

香港大學昨天(8月18日)舉行百周年校慶典禮。詳情請參考 http://www.hku.hk/press/news_detail_6552.html

對於昨日在校園範圍示威引發的不愉快事件， 香港大學校長徐立之教授深表遺憾， 並相信警方亦會檢視昨日行動的部署和手法。

徐校長表示: 「港大從來是一個多元意見激盪的知識之地， 大學一直堅持自由、開放、多元的傳統， 會繼續鼓勵及捍衛學術、思想、言論自由。大學是一個討論事實、追尋真理的地方， 鼓勵不同意見， 一直堅持開放包容。香港大學學生及舊生， 昨日以和平、理性的態度表達意見， 值得欣賞， 同學表現非常理性而克制， 是和平示威的一個好榜樣。」

大學無論任何時候， 都要保障學生及所有成員的安全， 然而昨日發生的事情， 顯然有令人遺憾之處， 大學必然會作出檢討。校園是一個和平及理性的地方， 對於表達意見要絕對尊重， 並確保有足夠的空間， 以開放的態度處理。

就港大學生關注邀請李克強副總理出席百周年校慶典禮一事， 校長澄清， 李克強副總理是應港大之邀請來訪。香港大學立足香港，與內地交流緊密，邀請領導人來訪，有助促進了解溝通。

師生、校友以及社會人士， 對大學的支持和意見， 我們非常感激。際此百年校慶， 我們一直在反思大學的使命， 亦期待與大家共同開拓未來。

Dear Colleagues, Students, Alumni and Friends,

The University held the Centenary Ceremony yesterday (August 18). More details can be found at http://www.hku.hk/press/news_detail_6552.html

In response to an unpleasant incident involving our students in demonstrations and the police on the University's campus yesterday, Vice-Chancellor Professor Lap-Chee Tsui said that he found the incident regrettable and believed that the police would also review its deployment operations.

Professor Tsui said: "HKU has always been a place of knowledge and diverse views. The University has always been firm on our traditions of freedom, openness and diversity, and will continue to encourage and protect the freedom of independent thought and speech. The University is a place of higher learning. We embrace different opinions and have always insisted on being open. The peaceful and rational manner of expression by HKU students and alumni yesterday was an excellent example of peaceful demonstration."

The University should always ensure the safety of its students and members at all times. The incident was regrettable and hence we will review the matter.

The Campus is a peaceful and rational place, where absolute respect is given to the expression of views, and a conducive space for and an open attitude to these views can be found.

With regard to students' question concerning the invitation of Vice Premier Li Keqiang, Professor Tsui clarified that Vice Premier Li was invited by the University to attend the HKU Centenary Ceremony. HKU has close links with the Mainland. The visit by Vice-Premier Li will further enhance mutual understanding and exchange.

We are grateful for all your support and advice. The Centenary presents an opportunity for reflecting on our missions, and it is always HKU's goal to serve the community.
