【英華文物保育小組 – Ying Wa Heritage & Archives Group】I

2017年的歷史接力跑,何解起步點是中環士丹頓街(Staunton Street)? 因為英華在港的首個校舍,正是位於士丹頓街和鴨巴甸街(Aberdeen Street) 交界,即PMQ對面的地段。要體驗英華1843年“登港”後170多年的足跡,當然要從士丹頓街出發走到英華街。

一直以來,要了解士丹頓街校舍的外貌,只能靠倫敦傳道會碩果僅存的一張黑白素描…… 但明明1840年代的香港,已有不少畫家在香港謀生,還剛剛開始有商業攝影師。

校史《皕載英華》開機印刷前的10多天,幾位“唔信邪”和“唔忿氣”的校史組成員,作最後衝刺:在重整思路和有關線索後,如有神助,終於在香港藝術館一幅1846年的彩色板畫中的一個小小角落,找到士丹頓街校舍的芳蹤(只佔整個構圖的80份之1!),趕上了出版校史的尾班車,讓大家從可另一角度一睹她昔日的風釆。

這是校史組在過去幾年的資料發掘過程中的一個小故事。最近校史組已進化為校友會的英華文物保育小組(Ying Wa Heritage & Archives Group) 。小組的召集人會在 3月21日晚上八時,分享其他有趣的歷史發現和校史編寫故事。

近年有中日學者指出,英華書院從1820年代至1860年代出版印刷的中文書刊,在明治維新前期,對於渴望了解西方知識和國際形勢的日本政客及知識分子,是一個重要的渠道。當中的《遐邇貫珍》和《智環啟蒙塾課初步》,更成為日本知識分子的收藏、謄抄和翻印的對象。

有學者也提到,當年日本出使西方,在香港轉船時,也會去英華書院參觀和買書。

正所謂有圖有真相:最近文物保育小組在翻看1862年日本出使歐洲的記錄時發現,除了內文有提到團員訪問英華,在描繪港島北岸景物的“香港之圖” 中,也標示了英華書院士丹頓街校舍的大概位置,作為以後訪港日人的重要地標。

文久元年(1862)日本遣歐使節團大概有40人,團員包括明治維新主力,一萬Yen紙幣的“主角”福澤諭吉。有興趣細讀原文,可到日本國立國會圖書館的網站,找《歐西紀行 · 卷之三》(高島祐啓著)。

這是校史組過去幾年在日本“尋寶”的一個小發現。最近校史組已進化為校友會的英華文物保育小組(Ying Wa Heritage & Archives Group) 。小組的召集人會在 3月21日(本週四)晚上八時,分享其他有趣的歷史發現和校史編寫故事。

英華行 2019

「英華教育基金」由校友會於2012年成立,結合校友、學校、校董會及家長教師會等多方面的資源力量,籌募經費,讓學校可以在教學上增加資源,以便不同水平的同學最終也能維持優良的學業成績。英華書院及小學轉為「直資」學校後,財政需自負盈虧,亦須儲備資金,為學校未來多方面的發展需要作出準備。有見及此,「英華教育基金」特連同書院及小學、兩學部的家長教師會,以及校友會舉辦步行籌款活動,藉此籌募經費;是次活動已是第五年舉行,亦希望透過此活動能加深大家的情誼。現將步行籌款活動的詳情列下,敬請鼎力支持為盼。

請參加的校友於15/2或之前先填妥回條或網上表格回覆

(https://goo.gl/forms/bSgjSrQ7pK4GMwpQ2) ,以便統計參加人數;籌款表格(附頁)及捐款支票則於20/2或之前寄回深水埗英華街1號英華書院校友會徐小姐收。

Letter to appeal for donation to Iles Scholarship in Theological Education

Dear Ying Wa old boys,

At the beginning of 2019, I wish you all a blessed and prosperous new year!

The Bicentennial celebration has concluded successfully in December 2018, with the Banquet held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre as its highlight. While many old boys contributed time, efforts or sponsorships to the celebration activities, there was an old boy, with his love to Ying Wa, donated over 2,600 pieces of “Ying Wa Mug” at the Banquet as a souvenir to each participant in celebration of the bicentenary of his alma mater. Although he preferred to remain anonymous, he humbly hoped that Ying Wa old boys, having received the mug, would honor the founding aim of the College – “The reciprocal cultivation of Chinese and English literature and the diffusion of Christianity” and support the “Terence Iles Scholarship in Theological Education” (the “Iles Scholarship”) by donating HK$100 or more to the fund.

To maintain a healthy balance of the Iles Scholarship fund to perpetually sponsor old boys to pursue their studies in Theological education, your support and contribution to the Iles Scholarship is much appreciated. Please fill in the donation form attached to support the fund!

We thank you for your contribution in advance and look forward to your favourable reply.

Best regards,

Allan CHENG
Principal
Ying Wa College
