Publisher Description

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.


*Errata   Mr Lee Hsien Loong's quote on page 23 was taken from NUSS' 60th anniversary lecture, and not the 16th anniversary lecture as printed.
