Hasanuddin University

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.

In 1983, this integration was revoked through Government Regulation No. 5/1980 followed by the Decree of the President of the Republic of Indonesia No. 68/1982. Through collaboration with Bogor Agricultural Institute and with the demand of Arnold Mononutu, a preparatory committee for the establishment of the Faculty of Agriculture was formed, which consists of A. Azis Ressang (lecturer at the Veterinary Faculty of Bogor Agricultural Institute) and Fachruddin (expert assistant of the Faculty of Agriculture of Bogor Agricultural Institute).
