廖先生說:「作為科大創校的靈魂人物之一,鍾博士為大學訂立了明確的理念。科大的使命在於培育科技人才,以推動香港以至世界的經濟和社會發展,這為大學發展初期,以至後來的茁壯成長打下了重要基石。就讓我們謹記科大的使命,我相信,今天正式成為大學第四任校長的史維教授,將一如既往地領導大學,繼往開來,帶領我們再創高峰。」
在今年9月1日履新的史維教授,於其就職典職上,正式獲校董會主席廖長城先生加冕成為新任校長。史教授在他就職演說中承諾,他會竭盡所能,延續科大協助香港經濟和社會發展的使命。他在演說中分享科大將面對的挑戰和機遇,並提到廣州分校的發展計劃,以及將科大校園化身成生活實驗室的可持續發展智慧校園計劃。
於學位頒授典禮中,史教授則祝賀畢業生,寄語他們要隨心而行,並在踏入人生新階段的同時,不忘抱著一顆解決世界問題的決心。史教授表示:「現今世代,日新月異的科技發展對我們的生活影響深邃,它在提升我們生活質素的同時,亦導致貧富懸殊、窒礙地球可持續發展及社會流動性等問題,我們絕不能接受貧富差距持續擴大,更不應坐視不理,我期待你們改變現狀。無論你們將來擔當甚麼崗位,我相信,你們定能為這些挑戰尋找答案。」

香港科技大學深切悼念創校校董會主席鍾士元博士
香港科技大學(科大)籌備委員會主席兼創校校董會主席鍾士元博士G.B.M., J.P.今天在香港離世,享年101歲。科大對鍾博士離世深感哀痛,並向鍾博士的家人致以深切慰問。
科大校長史維教授表示:「鍾博士是一位高瞻遠矚和充滿決心的偉人,他為香港的發展,特別是政治、公共衛生及高等教育方面,作出非常重要的貢獻。三十年前,當香港面對回歸前景未明之際,他已預視有需要成立科大﹕香港第三所以及唯一一所研究型大學,以培育香港未來所需的人才。今日所見,科大始終沒有偏離一眾創辦人所賦予它的使命,積極創新,並透過於教研方面不斷求進,以協助香港及內地的經濟和社會發展,我為此感到無比自豪。鍾博士的貢獻將永留青史。」
鍾博士於前港督尤德爵士治港期間,為本港三所高等院校的籌備工作擔當領導角色。在他帶領下,香港理工學院和香港城市理工學院(現為香港理工大學和香港城市大學)先後創立,以滿足當時以轉口貿易為主要經濟模式的香港對技術人才的渴求。其後至八十年代中期,香港面臨社會和經濟模式的轉變,栽培科技人才對香港未來發展變得至關重要,鍾博士再次策劃並帶領科大的籌建工作。
鍾博士貢獻科大逾廿載,自1986年起,他擔任科大籌備委員會的主席,及後於1988年至1999年間擔任科大首位校董會主席。其後,鍾博士出任科大顧問委員會主席,協助大學籌款及其他促進大學利益的事宜,他至2008年退任並留任榮譽主席。鍾博士亦於1999年至2011年間出任科大副監督。
