Notes

Abstract:
The College Deed, signed in 1821, stated that the objective of the school was the reciprocal cultivation of English and Chinese literature as well as the diffusion of Christianity (促進中西方學術交流，並廣傳基督福音). These aims remain today in the context of a very different world. The Anglo-Chinese College was originally established in Malacca in 1818 by Robert Morrison, the first Protestant missionary to China. In 1843, the College moved to Hong Kong, It subsequently became known as the Ying Ma College (英華書院), the oldest college in Hong Kong.
General Note:
The deed is believed to have been written in March 1820, though some sources suggest 1821, and though the deed itself bears the date 1842.
General Note:
The deed is authored and signed by Robert Morrison, D.D., in Malacca (a state of present day Malaysia)
General Note:

The Anglo-Chinese College (1818-1843) is not to be confused with the Anglo-Chinese College (Malacca, Malacca, Malaysia), founded in 1910 by the Reverend C.C. Underhill.
