History
Chung Chi College was founded in 1951 by the representatives of Protestant Churches in Hong Kong to meet the need for a local institution of higher learning. The College aims to provide further education in accordance with Christian traditions so that its students can develop open-mindedness along with a thorough understanding and appreciation of both Western and Chinese cultures. In 1955, it was formally incorporated under an ordinance of the government. The College had a very modest beginning with borrowed and rented premises, first in the Cathedral Hall and St. Paul’s Co-educational College, then at No. 147 Caine Road and in the Bishop Hoare Memorial Building on Lower Albert Road. Expansion was made possible by financial help from church organizations in North America and Britain. Local churches, firms, and private individuals also gave considerable support. In 1956, the College moved to its permanent site in the Ma Liu Shui valley. Between 1959 and 1963, the College received the bulk of its funds from the government. In 1963, the College was incorporated as one of the three founding Colleges of The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
The College has its own Chaplain’s Office to promote activities which include assemblies, Sunday Service, Campus Christian Fellowship. The Theology Division (now named Divinity School of Chung Chi College) was also established for the training of Christian ministers.
