Dr WILLIAM CHEW (MB,BS '62) keeps you posted on reunion plans
for 2003, 2004 and 2005.
The Alumni Association of Medical, Dental and Pharmacy graduates will
always remain the Mother of alumni associations. Founded
in 1923 by the medical graduates of the King Edward VII College of Medicine,
it soon grew to be the Alumni Association for dental and pharmacy graduates
as well, as the two disciplines were added to the Faculty of Medicine.
Raffles College did manage to have an alumni club called the Stamford
Club. In recent years, the School of Pharmacy was transferred to the
Faculty of Science.
NUS emphasis on promoting alumni relations has encouraged the
formation of many alumni chapters. The dental and pharmacy graduates
have established their own alumni associations, but, through tradition
and historical associations and nostalgia, they remain passionate to
the spirit and camaraderie that is the Alumni Association.
2003
The Alumni Association is a unique Malaysian-Singapore body which
holds annual reunions through its Northern, Central and Southern
branches. The Central Branch will organise the Alumni Association
reunion at Mines Resort in Selangor from 28 to 30 November 2003.
The spirited Central Branch members (led by Dr Yeoh Poh Hong and
company) have promised us the Mother of all reunions.
Knowing the enthusiasm and generosity of the Central Branch members,
we can all look forward to a wonderful and exciting weekend of
activities such as golf, tours, informal and formal dinners.
2004
Dr Chan Beng Keat and his colleagues in Perth will host the reunion
there in June 2004.
2005 (combined alumni
reunion)
NUS will be celebrating the 100th year of the establishment of
higher learning in Singapore (King Edward VII College of Medicine
was established on 28 September 1905). The Southern Branch will
organise a reunion in September 2005 to coincide with the Gala
Dinner on 28 September. This dinner will provide all members with
the opportunity to meet their university mates from Raffles College
days to more recent times.
