        With the untiring efforts of our forebrothers, national colleges and 
universities were founded all over the country during the reign of British 
Colonialists. After sometimes, Rangoon university, which had been kept 
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
