Newman's Idea and Chung Chi's Practice

Abstract

Newman's ideas concerning university education address the concrete situations which are Western and Roman Catholic in orientation. The practices of Chung Chi College, a foundational college of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, located in the southern part of China, are in accord with Newman's ideas, yet with more Eastern contextual reflections and an addition of Chinese ingredients. This paper attempts to furnish a critical contextual dialogue between Newman's ideas and Chung Chi's practices.
