Description
廣州嶺南大學停辦後，各地嶺南校友一直致力爭取復校。踏入1960年代，當時設於香港的嶺南中學、嶺南大學同學會及嶺南會所，聯合籌組「嶺南教育擴展會」，計劃在港復辦嶺南大學。
1967年11月19日，承繼舊廣州嶺南大學的傳統，「嶺南書院」正式在香港成立，校舍初設於香港司徒拔道15號（即原香港嶺南分校，及其後嶺南中學的校舍）。
嶺南書院成立以來穏步發展，成為香港高等教育發展重要一員。嶺南書院經歷首十年的發展，於1978年獲香港政府認可，正式註冊為專上學院，改名「嶺南學院」。
After the suspension of the old Lingnan University in Guangzhou, Lingnanians strived to revive the University. During mid-1960, The Board of Directors of Lingnan Middle School, Lingnan University (Hong Kong) Alumni Association and Lingnan Club established "Lingnan Education Extension Committee" planning ahead to revive Lingnan University in Hong Kong.
On 19th November 1967, inheriting the tradition of the old Lingnan University, "Lingnan College" was established at 15 Stubbs Road, Hong Kong (i.e. the original campus of Lingnan Hong Kong Branch School, then later Lingnan Middle School).
Lingnan College continued to grow to become one of the key institutions of higher education in Hong Kong. The achievement across the first decade since 1967 can be highlighted with obtaining the recognition to become a registered post-secondary institution in Hong Kong.
