    Rangoon University

    In December 1920, there were three significant events.

    • On December 1, 1920, Rangoon University was established with Rangoon College and Judson College as the constituent colleges. The colleges are also known by other names (e.g. Government College, Baptist College)
    • On December 5, 1920, the First RU Students’ Strike took place. They protested the 1920 Rangoon University Act as too narrow and restrictive.
    • On December 26, 1920, Saya U Ba Toke was born as a Phwa Bet Taw of the above two.

    Rangoon University (RU)

    • Initially had three Faculties and eight departments (including Law)
    • Initially had six professors
    • RU gradually extended its offerings (beyond Science and Arts)
    • The opening of engineering classes was planned around 1923 and executed in 1924.
    • In 1927, the first batch of engineering students (who had Bachelors degree) graduated with the “accelerated courses” option.
    • In 1928, the second batch of engineering students (who joined after finishing the I.Sc.) graduated.
    • RU was closed from 1942 to 45.
      RU Silver Jubilee was celebrated much later (and without high key).
    • RU celebrated the Golden Jubilee (GJ) in 1970. Dr. Aung Gyi (Professor of Civil Engineering) and U Thet Lwin (Burmese saya at the Institute of Economics) were some of the GJ organizers. The RIT Ah Nu Pyinnya Shins took part in the GJ Entertainment Program as “Swel Daw Yeik Troupe“.
      The term “Swel Daw Yeik” became synonymous with RIT [its predecessors and its successors]. Swel Daw Yeik Ah Nyeint (စွယ်တော်ရိပ်အငြိမ့် with Minthamees မင်းသမီး and Lu Shwin Daws လူရွှင်တော်), Htee Yein (ထီးယိမ်း RIT Belles with colorful Parasols) and Da Bin Daing Ah Ka (တပင်တိုင်အက) were hits at the GJ celebration.
      I was a volunteer member of the “Zay Nay Yar Cha Hta Yay” subcommittee headed by Saya U Hla Tun Aung (Geography). Those who applied for stalls and/or stage included Actor Maung Maung Tar (promoting his make up) and the then amateur band “Playboys” requesting a high stage (for security concerns).
    • RU celebrated the Diamond Jubilee in 1995.
    • RU celebrated the “Yar Pyie Ah Kyo” in December 2019. The opening song was “Mya Kyun Nyo” composed by Maung Ngwe Hlinne (Saya U Thet Lwin).
    • RU Centennial Celebrations were planned for November and December of 2020.
      Due to the pandemic, many events were held virtually.
      Kyemon and Myanar Ah Lin newspapers featured articles about RU. The TV stations featured interviews, songs …

    First RU Students’ Strike

    • Eleven “senior” students led the Boycott of the Rangoon University Act of 1920.
    • They were unhappy with the restrictions of the RU Act and decided to hold a boycott (strike) on December 7, 1920.
    • Due to a news leak, the protests were moved to December 5, 1920.
    • The strike resulted in the establishment of Amyotha Kyaung (National Schools) and Amyotha Kaw Leik (National College). The event is celebrated as Ah Myo Tha Aung Pwe Nay (National Day).
      The Burmese date (10th Waning day of Tazaungmon) is used for the Celebration.
    • Arzani U Razak was an early graduate of the National College. He served as Principal of a National School in Mandalay. He became Minister of Education in Bogyoke Aung San’s cabinet.
    • Prime Minister U Nu, United Nations Secretary General U Thant and Ahmyotha Pyinnya Wun / Educator / Writer U Po Kyar are notable sayas from the National Schools.
    • The boycott was responsible for the amendments to the RU Act. e.g. opening of schools for engineering and medicine,
    • A pillar was set up on Shwe Dagon Pagoda in memory of the Boycott.

    Sayagyi U Ba Toke (Dec 26, 1920 – Dec 2, 2020)

    • He is one of the oldest and senior sayas. Some senior sayas (e.g. Daw Hla May / Anne Sine) passed away in early 2020.
    • Received A.M (Master of Arts in Mathematics) from Harvard University.
    • Served as Assistant Lecturer, Lecturer and Professor of Mathematics at RU and RASU.
    • Promoted to Rector, MASU.
    • With his own volition, he transferred to RIT as Professor of (Engineering) Mathematics.
    • As a Saya of engineering sayas (e.g. Dr. Aung Gyi, U Min Wun and U Khin Aung Kyi), he was invited to attend SPZP-2000 and give a speech.
    • Saya attended all SPZPs except SPZP-2002 (which he had to forgo due to Sayagadaw’s health).
    • Played Chinlon and Soccer.
    • Co-chair of RU Sports Council
      Managed the Soccer program.
    • Headed the Burmese delegation to the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
    • Until his 80s, Saya was active
      (e.g. walk to Shwe Dagon Pagoda with his dhamma friends).
    • In his 90s, Saya had physical limitations, but his mental faculty was strong as ever.
    • Saya Dr. Khin Maung Swe (Tekkatho Maung Thin Char, GBNF) interviewed Saya.
      Sayama Daw Myint Myint Khaing (daughter of Arzani Mahn Ba Khaing) transcribed the tapes. The book covering Sayagyi’s Life Journey was published by the RU Thin Char Mi Thar Su for Sayagyi’s 80th birthday.
    • Sayagyi gave me an autographed copy.

    Two Sayagyis

    U Ba Toke & U Ba Than
    • Pu Zaw Pwe (PZP) — paying homage to mentors — is a noble tradition. They are also known as Saya Pu Zaw Pwe and Acariya Pu Zaw Pwe.
    • There have been micro-PZPs, mini-PZPs and grand PZPs.
    • Saya U Ba Than (born on October 2, 1930) usually visits and pay homage to his saya Sayagyi U Ba Toke at least once every year.

    Paying homage to Sayagyi U Ba Toke

    • During my visits to Yangon, I paid homage to Sayagyi U Ba Toke.
    • On one visit, Sayagyi gave me an autographed copy of “Life Journey of Mathematics Professor Sayagyi U Ba Toke”.
      The book was written by Saya Dr. Khin Maung Swe (Tekkatho Maung Thin Char, GBNF) based on his interviews with Sayagyi U Ba Toke. It also covers the early Thin Char Sayagyis. The book was published by Rangoon University Thin Char Mi Thar Su for Sayagyi’s 80th birthday.
    • In January 2017, Pansy Ba Toke (Thynn Thynn, ChE 74) asked her son-in-law and daughter to pick up Sayagyi U Ba Than, Saya U Tin Htut and me at Winner Inn to see her father Sayagyi U Ba Toke.
      Sayagyi had some problems with mobility and vision, but his mind remains crisp and clear.
    • Pansy was a member of the Swel Daw Yeik “Htee Yein” at the Rangoon University Golden Jubilee in 1970.She has offered transportation to the Sayas who want to visit her father.
    • Sayagyi sometimes defer celebrating his birthday so that his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren — far and near — could join the celebration.
    • Sayagyi is pre-deceased by
      his beloved spouse, his second son (Soe Win, 6th out of his 8 children) and his second daughter (Kitty, 3rd out of his 8 children)

    From Ivan Lee (M69)

    It is sad news. I was very close with him at the RIT second and third years. I named him Tommy, resident from Myoung-Mya. I met him at the Bassein college first year. He had a younger brother. When his father passed away in Rangoon, I remembered he and I seated together at the front, next to the driver of the funeral car at Rangoon Chinatown. At my RIT 69er welcome party in Yangon in Nov. 2006, that was the last time I saw him.

    I am sending my deepest condolence to his family, and wish him be merry whatever he is going to be.

    Again, it is an universal rule, we can keep going to lose one after another, will never ever to add any single one more into our network, regardless what, we must regard [and help] one another. And take care of our health, not others assistance, but ourselves desirability.

    God bless all of our beloved classmates , alumni, respectful Sayas.

    Best regards

    Awareness and CERT

    by Khin Maung Zaw

    Updated : 6th October 2026

    KMZ (Middle)

    U Khin Maung Zaw (EC76) commented on my post on “Disaster“.

    No matter if there is a somewhat connection with the ‘climate change‘ concept, the natural disasters, storms/earthquakes/tsunamis are getting as often and more powerful in the past several years. These has caused severe damaged to many lives, killed, injured, livelihood wiped out among others.

    In the United States, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which covers these emergencies have discovered that they alone albeit budget crunch could not handle each and every aspect of the damages, They are now encouraging, and working with local authorities, city/county/state on many aspects of the disaster preparedness and recovery process and procedures.

    First, there is a FEMA App on all mobile platforms, where one can go through subscribing Alerts, Anticipate/Prepare for any disasters, Disaster Resources et al. In US, various regions have differing disaster, for example Washington State where I live, we have to be prepared for major earthquakes but not for Hurricanes etc. The local authorities have classes, training sessions, drills on where/how/what/who, the usual five ‘W’s on many possible disasters. My city, Kirkland has multiple levels of CERT, Community Emergency Response Team, classes, trainings, intensive training/classes for leadership levels, regular sync ups/meetings etc.

    They are also aware that not all local/state/federal could communicate well in the cases of disasters due to proliferation of different communication equipment and trying to alleviate the issue.

    One very interesting discovery they learned from the mega-disasters past couple of years is that the previous assumptions that they had for the preparedness were no longer adequate. The old assumption was that you need to have at least three day supply of food/water/first-aid – basic essentials. In the recent mega-disasters, they discovered that there are many instances no rescuers could get to you for more than a week or so, the new thinking/suggestion is that you need to have at least 2 weeks stock of live essentials. food/water/waste management/radios/batteries etc. There is also a movement where rather than you do it for yourself and/or your family, your neighborhood would pool resources in a commonly accessible area, like one’s spare space in a garage, you could store beds/cots/water tanks/medical supplies for multiple family etc. We live in a place where rain is given so tents/ponchos are a must. Dehydrated food, which could last 25+ years or so could be stored there.The city have all these info, with maps, co-ordinate with all authorities in the case a disaster,

    I could go on and on as I went through the very basic level of CERT, and am thinking of week long class/training.

    There is a consensus assessment that rescuers could not reached to many victims in major disaster where roads, telecommunication might be devastated. Seattle, Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond and many other cities in and around Puget Sound, Western Washington where life is way overdue for major earthquake.

    Maths

    • In Mathematics, log stands for logarithm.
    • In our high school days, we had to buy books containing logarithms, anti-logarithms, and trigonometric functions.
      The standard version provides 4 digits. The advanced version provides 5 – 7 digits.
    • For the Matriculation exam, logarithm books were provided.
    • In Lighter vein :
      At one school, the invigilator ordered to take the logarithm books back. Asked why, she replied, “We had to learn them by heart”.

    Serendipity

    Some inventions are attributed to Serendipity. Three notable examples are

    • Discovery of X-rays
      X stands for “Unknown”. German scientist Wilhelm Rontgen discovered X-radiation (unknown type of radiation) on November 8, 1895. Other names include X-ray, Xray and Röntgen radiation.

      Dr. Spencer Silver, a scientist at 3M, accidentally discovered a weak glue in 1968. Arthur Fry obtained permission from 3M to develop “sticky notes” in 1974.

    Kekule’s Dream

    • Friedrich August Kekulé, a German chemist, was searching for the structure of Benzene, which has six Carbon atoms and six Hydrogen atoms.
    • In 1865, he had a day-dream where a snake’s head tried to bite its tail. Was an “Aha” moment for him. Figured out the ring shape of the Benzene molecule.
    • Some use this example as the power of the subconscious mind in solving problems.

    Saya Dr. Soe Win wrote :

    The structure of benzene is indeed a significant discovery in the history of science.
