St. Paul's College receives special attention from historians as the world's first Anglo-Chinese school.

The Hong Kong Baptist University emblem consists of three pictorial elements: the Bible, waves and knots. The Bible symbolises the unique quality of Christian education which include moral and spiritual training in addition to academics. The waves on the other hand, symbolise both Hong Kong's geographic nature as an island, echoing Confucius' dictum that "the wise love water" and the University's continuing effort to improve its educational quality. Knots, the final symbol, illustrate that within God's embrace, Christians are harmoniously linked.See also:
