Description

The building to the right was the Administration Building, named Grant Hall (格蘭堂) after the administration building on the Guangzhou campus. A note on the back gives the location as Sin Yan Miu (仙人廟), the nearest rail station to Taitsuen, 29 km north of Kukong (曲江). Shortly after arriving, Szto Wai made a new design of the University seal, writing to a friend that: ‘On top of the old design – White Cloud Mountain, lichee trees, Pearl River and the road leading to the college – is the National Star, and below the old design are flowers and leaves springing up around it, indicating that beneath the National Star Lingnan University starts again like the flowers of Spring…’
