各位同事及同學：

澳門大學前身東亞大學創校校長薛壽生教授於加拿大溫哥華離世。澳門大學對此深感哀痛，並向薛教授的家人致以深切慰問。

薛教授是一位傑出的學者和教育家，成就斐然。薛教授於1980年來澳門辦學，在艱苦的環境下全力參與創立澳門大學的前身東亞大學，為澳門現代高等教育開創先河，曾於1981年至1986年及1987年至1991年兩度出任東亞大學校長，在任期間籌建了眾多教學和研究單位，為本校往後的長足發展奠下堅實的基石。澳門回歸前，薛教授還曾出任澳門基本法起草委員會副主任委員，為澳門特別行政區的成立作出重要貢獻。

今哲人雖萎，薛教授為澳門大學和澳門作出的卓越貢獻和成就將永留青史，必為澳門大學師生和澳門社會所銘記。

Dear colleagues and students,

It is with profound sadness that the University of Macau (UM) announces the passing of Prof. Hsueh Shou Sheng, founding rector of UM’s predecessor, the University of East Asia (UEA), in Vancouver, Canada. UM has conveyed its deepest condolences to his family.

Prof. Hsueh was a distinguished scholar and educator with remarkable achievements. He came to Macao in 1980 to play a key role in the UEA’s establishment, starting a new chapter in the contemporary higher education in the city. Prof. Hsueh served as the UEA’s rector from 1981 to 1986, and from 1987 to 1991. During his term, Prof. Hsueh’s efforts resulted in the establishment of many academic and research units, laying the cornerstone for UM’s development. Before Macao’s handover to China, Prof Hsueh served as a vice chairman of the Macao Basic Law Drafting Committee and made important contributions to the Macao Special Administrative Region’s establishment.

The great contributions made by Prof. Hsueh to the university and Macao will remain forever as part of his legacy.

With deepest sympathy,

Yonghua Song
Rector
