"Brotherhood over a Century – QCOBA Centenary" special exhibition to be launched in virtual Open Days

2021.04.19

Queen's College Old Boys' Association (QCOBA) today (April 19) announced that the "Brotherhood over a Century – QCOBA Centenary" special exhibition would be launched this Friday (April 23) in the virtual Annual Open Days 2021 "Nirvana" to celebrate its Centenary.

QCOBA commissioned the QC History Museum (QCHM) team to collate information in reviewing QCOBA's history and development of its service to the alma mater and the community in the past century. Different types of artefacts were also collected from the school, Old Boys and various sectors. The study was preliminarily completed by end-2020 and part of the valuable artefacts were put on display at the QCHM. The special exhibition is called "Brotherhood over a Century", which ties in with the theme of the Centenary, "Serving QC family, our centenary duty".

Comprising four parts, the special exhibition covers the themes "Brotherhood over a Century", "Strong fraternity, multifarious activities", "Serving the alma mater" and "Contributing to our society" respectively on various stages to date since its foundation in Canton in 1920; snapshots of activities; review of the foundation laid by the two Honorary Permanent Presidents, Dr Henry FOK Ying-tung and Dr Stanley HO Hung-sun on tirelessly supporting the alma mater; and serving the community with a mission on education over the decades.

To tie in with the virtual Open Days, the exhibition will be uploaded to QCOBA's website (www.qcoba.hk) and that of the virtual Open Days (www.qcopendays.com) at 9am on April 23 upon the opening of the Open Days. In view of limited time and space, the exhibition briefly outlines the centenary history of QCOBA while other valuable artefacts will be displayed online later this year.

Media reports on the virtual Open Days and Centenary exhibition have been uploaded to QCOBA's website.
