PROFESSOR NICK RAWLINS,
(1968, PPP), Emeritus Fellow, has been the Master
of Morningside College at the Chinese University
of Hong Kong since December 2018: “I thought
it would be an adventure, and it has delivered in
spades. A campus blockade in November cut off
food supplies, and intense fighting over a bridge
onto the campus, across the playing field directly
below my Lodge, eventually led us to evacuate
everyone from our tear-gas-scented College on
November 15th. We restored the campus and
had re-opened for around three weeks before
the novel coronavirus reached us, and we haven’t
fully re-opened since the Chinese New Year.
What next…?”
