1. Nanyang University – History 2. Nanyang University – Alumni and alumnae 3. Chinese language – Study and teaching (Higher) – Singapore – History 4. Education, Higher – Political aspects – Singapore 5. Universities and colleges – Singapore – History In 1958, more than a hundred thousand people attended the inauguration ceremony of Nanyang University (Nantah), a true “people’s university” that was founded with the support of all strata of society, from tycoons to trishaw-men. After producing 12,000 graduates and winning global recognition, the institution, the first Chinese-medium university outside China, held her final convocation in 1980. Drawing from the author’s own research and diverse sources that have never before been available in English, this book tells the fascinating story of Nantah’s short and eventful life and deconstructs the many myths and misconceptions that continue to surround her.
