BOOK PRESENTATION CEREMONY
A joint presentation of books, albums and videos by the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Hong Kong to the University of Hong Kong Libraries and the University Museum and Art Gallery took place on 24 May 2001. About 17 books on Polish literature and history by well-known Polish authors were donated to HKU Libraries. Some of them were Nobel Prize winners. Among the donations were the facsimile edition of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland (1791), and a feature film Pan Tadeusz produced last year by Poland's Oscar winning director Andrzej Wajda. The presentation ceremony was well attended by the University faculty and staff from Poland and other guests including the Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Prof. J. Spinks, Dr. M.R. Martin (Dean of Faculty of Arts), and Mr. C.T. Yeung (Director of the University Museum and Art Gallery).
