Munsang College

Munsang College (MSC; Chinese: 民生書院) is an eminent EMI college situated in Kowloon City,[1] Hong Kong founded by Mr Au Chak Mun (also known as Au Tak) and Dr Ts'o Seen Wan in 1926.

In 1920, Mr Au Chak Mun (also known as Au Tak), one of the two people who reclaimed the land at Kowloon Bay and founded the Kai Tak Investment Company, died and bequeathed a donation of HK$10,000 to support Dr Ts'o Seen Wan's plan.

Later, Mr Mok Kon Sang donated HK$10,000 as the founding fund of the school.

Arthur Dudley Stewart, the Principal of St. Paul's College was entrusted with the work of preparation.

Besides, there were three preparatory classes, Pre A, B and C for children who didn't reach the level of junior one.

In 1933, a hall with a capacity of 200 students was built at the back of the main school building at Kai Tak Bun.

In the autumn of 1937, the girls' secondary section was closed and all female students were transferred to Heep Yunn College.

Relocation (1939–1940) In the preparation of the 16th-anniversary ceremony, it was suggested that a piece of land at the end of Grampian Road should be bought to build a school campus instead of renting houses.

In September 1939, the first phase of building the school campus, including a hall and 12 classrooms, at the present location was completed.

Civilian houses at Hau Wong Road were rented and the primary school resumed.

In May 1946, the campus at Grampian Road was returned to the school authority but only the primary section resumed.

In 1961, the sports ground was expanded with extra land leased from the Hong Kong Government after the completion of Dumbarton Road and its area was increased to about 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2).

At the same time, Munsang College was classified as a private aided school by the Education Department.

In 1988, the Munsang College Alumni Association held the golden jubilee celebration.

On 7 March 1997, the school celebrated its 71st Anniversary with a time capsule enshrined in the campus.
