The University of Hong Kong, referred to simply as "HKU". It is an international public research university located in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, and is generally considered to be one of the most prestigious universities in Asia, known as the "Ivy League" in Asia. It was founded on 16 March 1910 and officially incorporated on 30 March of the following year, making it the oldest higher education institution in Hong Kong. In its early years, the University of Hong Kong was extremely small, with only 23 graduates from its official opening on 11 March 1912 to its first graduation ceremony in December 1916.

　　HKU was founded in 1911 and the official inauguration ceremony was held in 1912. Because Luji believed that Chinese society at that time was not suitable for contact with Western humanistic values (such as communist ideas), the university initially imitated the system of the University of Liverpool, emphasizing science and engineering over humanities, so it only had three colleges: medical school, school of engineering and college of letters, of which there were no humanities courses such as sociology and philosophy.

　　The first graduation ceremony was held in December 1916 with 23 graduates and 5 honorary graduates.
