Early Days
On 3 December 1965, Professor A R Mallick (1918–97), as project Director, inaugurated the work of founding the Chittagong University with only three employees, one typewriter, and a photocopier in a house on Road 3 of Chittagong City's Nasirabad Housing Society. The Chittagong University Ordinance was promulgated on 25 September 1966 and Professor Mallick was given the charge of Vice Chancellor on that very day. He assumed charge as the first Vice Chancellor of the university on 9 October 1966.
The university started its academic programme on 28 November with classes of MA (Preliminary) programme with only 200 students in the departments of Bengali, English, History and Economics under the faculty of Arts. After a short while Medical, Engineering, Law, and Education Colleges situated outside the university campus were incorporated as separate faculties, and thus the university's educational activities kept expanding.

Or whether Laws be wrong;

Is that the wall is strong;
And that each day is like a year,
A year whose days are long.”
