摘要
１９２５年，英国国会宣布愿意将中国尚欠英国的庚子赔款运用在发展中国教育及其他用途上；当时，香港总督金文泰立刻向英国方面反映，希望申请部分庚款以发展香港大学的中文教育。经过多年的讨价还价，港大最后获得的拨款与原来金文泰的期望相去甚远。本文要指出的是，这件看来只属于香港大学发展史的事情，实际上反映了当时香港处在复杂的中英关系夹缝中的特殊地位。另一方面，香港大学中文系的建立也反映当时中国文化在香港的发展，并非是单纯的文化事务。
Abstract In 1925,the British Government announced that the British share of the Boxer Indemnity would be applied to the development of educational and other purposes in China.Cecil Clementi,currently the governor of Hong Kong,appealed for a portion of the indemnity in the name of reforming the Chinese Department of Hong Kong University(HKU).Eventually,HKU obtained a share far less than what Clementi had appealed for.This paper attempts to argue that the implication of such an incident is far more than a mere case relating to the history of HKU.Rather,it illustrates the subtle and complicated relationships between the Hong Kong Government,the British Government,and the Beijing and Guangzhou Governments of China.It also shows that the development of Chinese culture in Hong Kong was not only a mere cultural matter,but also an outcome of negotiations among various political forces.
