 Memories of Eusoff

—————————————————————————————————————————

I have only fond memories of Eusoff College which remains so much a part of my life to this day . We were treated like princesses and didn’t quite know it then .

We were served four meals a day . We had a laundry service ; and even our rooms were cleaned for us . With all mundane chores taken care off , we had only to study , research , play , and pamper ourselves .

Prof. Ruth Wong ,our Mistress of E.C., was an elegant lady of style and substance . She treated us with respect . That must certainly have helped us to develop into respectable and responsible people . One useful advice she gave us regarding our expectation of others was ” The standard you set prompts the standard returned to you” . This has become my maxim in life and it has helped me to get along with others .

I like the exchange dinners with the other Halls of Residence , where some girls got to meet some boys , and went on to form lasting relationships .The beauty of E.C. is also in its proximity to the lecture halls and the library . The walk up to college and the library is so pleasant and so convenient . What I treasure most about university and E.C. life then was the friendship and friendliness all around us . Everybody was helpful and understanding. There was no sense of rivalry between us . Each one just did her best to excel . We enjoyed a more relaxed world where there were opportunities for everybody . Today’s world must be more competitive and consequently more successful .
