Hasanuddin University

Hasanuddin University (Indonesian: Universitas Hasanuddin) which is abbreviated as Unhas, is one of the largest autonomous universities in Indonesia. It is located in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Unhas was established on September 10, 1956, and named after Sultan Hasanuddin, a former King of the Gowa Kingdom.

History

Hasanuddin University's history was begun at Makassar in 1947 as part of the Faculty of Economics of University of Indonesia based on the Decree of the Lieutenant General Governor of the Netherlands East Indies Government Number 127 dated July 23, 1947, which during the early years of its establishment had faculties scattered across the archipelago.

Due to uncertainty and chaos in Makassar and its surroundings, the faculty who previously led by L.A. Enthoven as director was suspended and then reopened again as branch of the Faculty of Economics of University of Indonesia on October 7, under the leadership of G.H.M. Riekerk. This faculty was the beginning of Hasanuddin University after being led by G.J. Wolhoff and his secretary Muhammad Baga on September 1, 1956, until the inauguration as Hasanuddin University on September 10, 1956.

During the stagnation of the Faculty of Economics at the end of 1950, Nuruddin Sahadat, G.J. Wolhoff, Tjia Kok Tjiang, J.E. Tatengkeng, et al., prepared for the establishment of a private law faculty. They formed Sawerigading College Institute (Indonesian: Balai Perguruan Tinggi Sawerigading), chaired by G.J. Wolhoff until the establishment of the State University Committee (Indonesian: Panitia Pejuang Universitas Negeri) in March 1950.

On March 3, 1952, Faculty of Law and Social Knowledge was established as a branch of the law faculty of University of Indonesia with the first dean, Djokosoetono, who is also the dean of the law faculty of University of Indonesia. Then this law faculty led by C. de Heern and continued by G.H.M. Riekerk, who later separated themselves as Hasanuddin University from University of Indonesia through Government Regulation No. 23 of 1956 dated September 10, 1956.

Faculty of Medicine was formed through an agreement between Yayasan Balai Perguruan Tinggi Sawerigading and the Ministry of Education and Culture which was established in a Council of Ministers meeting on October 22, 1953. Based on the Decree, the Faculty of Medicine Preparatory Committee was formed, chaired by Syamsuddin Daeng Mangawing with Muhammad Rasyid Daeng Sirua as secretary, their members are J.E. Tatengkeng, Andi Patiwiri and Sampara Daeng Lili. On January 28, 1956, Minister of Education and Culture, R. Soewandi inaugurated the Makassar's Faculty of Medicine which later turned into the Hasanuddin University's Faculty of Medicine along with the establishment of Hasanuddin University on September 10, 1956.

Furthermore, through Decree No. 88130/S on September 8, 1960, the Faculty of Engineering was inaugurated by J. Pongrekun and Ramli Cambari Saka as his secretary with three departments, which as follows Civil, Machinery, and Naval. In 1963, the department of Electronics and Architecture was formed.
