According to Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Min, <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> is one <strong>of</strong> the first institutions <strong>of</strong> higher<br />

learning in China, where comprehensive polymer teaching and research has been<br />

successfully carried out. During the past 50 years, a solid foundation has been<br />

formed under the direction <strong>of</strong> renowned scholars such as Academicians and<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essors Feng Xinde and Zhou Qifeng, thus enabling <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> to become<br />

one <strong>of</strong> the most important polymer education and research bases in China.<br />

―It is to our great delight that the Department <strong>of</strong> Polymer Science and Engineering at<br />

<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> has developed long-lasting and fruitful relations with universities<br />

across the world, thereby allowing a close collaboration with international community<br />

(both universities and industry) in research and curriculum,‖ he said.<br />

Finally he encouraged the colleagues and young people in polymer science and<br />

engineering to meet the challenges, and to advance in fundamental and applied<br />

research that would greatly enhance scientific understanding and human welfare.<br />

The celebration activities had been planned to be hold in May 2003, and were<br />

postponed to this year due to the outbreak <strong>of</strong> SARS. Alumni and friends home and<br />

abroad gathered here. Several alumni also gave speeches to express their<br />

excitement and thankfulness to their respectable teachers. Meanwhile four<br />

world-famous experts were conferred honorary and guest pr<strong>of</strong>essorship <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong><br />

including Alan G MacDiarmid, the 2000 Nobel laureate in Chemistry, Sir Sam<br />

Edwards, academician <strong>of</strong> the Royal Society <strong>of</strong> UK, Steve Granick, Pr<strong>of</strong>essor from<br />

<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Illinois, and Charles C Han, specially engaged scientist <strong>of</strong> the Institute<br />

<strong>of</strong> Chemistry Chinese Academy <strong>of</strong> sciences(ICCAS).<br />
