Recalling that less-than-illustrious past, Far East ’ s vice president Jang Ming-jyi admits: “ The fact is that our school suffered from an image problem. The campus was full of cigarette butts and betel-nut stains. And when the Ministry of Education released its rankings, Far East was always near the bottom.
回憶起這段不甚光采的過去，連副校長鐘明吉都承認：「我們學校以前的風評真的是不太好，校園裡到處都是亂丟的煙蒂甚至是檳榔渣，每逢教育部的例行評鑑，永遠名列最後一等，敬陪末座。」
