His assessment of David was based not only on his intelligence and application but also on his personality, integrity, and loyalty. Not surprisingly, in due course David also became his successor. Professor Rosie Young 楊紫芝 (MBBS 1953; MD 1959; HonDSc 1995) Emeritus Professor, HKU David was one of HKU’s greatest ambassadors to the university world and the most highly respected medical teacher and scholar I have ever known. We shall all miss him greatly. Professor Wang Gungwu 王賡武 (HonDLitt 2002) Vice-Chancellor (1986-1995) Sir David was an icon, a role model, a gentleman and a scholar. He was also a wonderfully warm human being. His legacy will live forever in Hong Kong. May he rest in peace. Professor Peter Mathieson 馬斐森 President and Vice-Chancellor “ My happiest university days were spent as a Morrisonian. ” His dedication, vision and tenacity towards his fellow Morrisonians laid a strong foundation for Morrison Hall to grow and excel. As Chairman of the Hall Club in 1949-50, he led Morrison Hall to champion vigorously its sporting prowess at inter-hostel sports competitions. Morrison Hall has since been known for sportsmanship and solidarity within the University, and both remain core values of the Morrisonian Spirit to this day. Morrison Hall, HKU 92 In Memoriam
