In commemoration of the centenary of the Department of History in 2012-13, a capital fund was established to provide in perpetuity two prizes for outstanding students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. One of these is named in memory of Professor George B. Endacott who was responsible, virtually single-handedly, for the re-establishment of the Department after World War II and was also instrumental in establishing Hong Kong history as a respectable field of scholarship in the 1950s.
