（中文版本見第 2 頁） Unveiling Ceremony of the Sir Hormusjee N Mody Bust in HKU 13 Jun 2002 The Zoroastrian Community of Hong Kong will present a bust of Sir Hormusjee N Mody to the University of Hong Kong on June 17, 2002. The bust will be installed at the entrance of the Main Building. Sir Hormusjee N Mody made a major donation towards the founding of HKU. He was a distinguished Parsi businessman and land developer. "Mody Road" in Tsimshatsui bears his name. He was also a renowned philanthropist and benefactor. Without his generosity, the University's existence may not have been realised. His initial offer of a donation of $150,000 to construct the first academic building, ie, the Main Building, was the very first such pledge, setting a good example for other benefactors to follow. His donation, eventually almost doubled to $285,000, was a very significant component of the total endowment for the inception of this institution. The unveiling ceremony will be held at 10:30am on June 17, 2002 at the main entrance of the Main Building on the university campus. Members of the Zoroastrian Community of Hong Kong will attend the ceremony. Professor Ian Davies, ViceChancellor of HKU, will give a vote of thanks at the ceremony.
