under Calcutta University, became an independence university. This struggle
fostered nationalist spirit among Burmese people. Leaders of Rangoon
University were never reluctant to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the
nation. Thakhin Aung San, Thakhin Nu, etc.,who had steadfastly fought
against British imperialist till they could retrieve the lost independence for the
people, are good examples.The campus of Rangoon University is the
auspicious place where the nationalists spirit originated. This University

time for today's students to shoulder the national responsibilities. It is our duty
to receive legacy handed down by our forebrothers. May this precious legacy
be well-maintained and last forever.
