Professor George B. Endacott was responsible for almost singlehandedly reestablishing the History Department after World War II, dedicating much of his later life to researching and teaching Hong Kong history. As part of his will he left money to the University and requested it be used for supporting undergraduate and postgraduate students who combine excellence in scholarship with community service, leadership or any other area that stands out. This award is given in his memory and stands as an honorific tribute.
