Kotabaru SMT Building, January 24, 1946, seemed full of visitors. They are people who have a high commitment to the enhancement of human dignity Indonesia. Among them teriihat Mr. Boediarto, Ir.

in this meeting, announced the establishment of Center of Gadjah Mada University, which consists of the Faculty of Law and Faculty of Literature
With the establishment of Central University of Gadjah Mada University, then in the year 1946 there are two universities in Yogyakarta. The other is the Technical High School, which stood on 17 February 1946. Technical High School is a business revival Technical High School in Bandung, which was forced to close because of the atmosphere of war between Indonesia and the allied forces among its leaders, there was a Prof. Jr. Rooseno and Prof. Ir. Wreksodhiningrat.itulah why students of the Faculty of Engineering of Bandung to continue her studies and her test engineer at the Technical High School in Yogyakarta.
After the invasion of the Netherlands to Yogyakarta, 19 December 1948, the two colleges above forced to close. The lecturers and students choose to struggle against the Dutch rather than continue the teaching-learning process. But. college equipment properly maintained by the students.
Klaten is of course different from the Klaten in 1946. Striking difference is a matter of higher education. Now Klaten has no college. However, Klaten in 1946 was a city of education. here stand, among other College of Medicine (established March 5, 1946), College of Veterinary Medicine (established 20 September 1946), College of Pharmacy (established 27 September 1946), and Agricultural High Pergurutan (stand 27 September 1946).
Why Klaten selected as the establishment of several universities? He replied. because Klaten is located in the hinterland. Major cities such as Jakarta, Bandung and Surabaya no longer possible to carry out higher education. Therefore, the three cities are often bombed by allied troops. Indonesian fighters in the three cities will not stay silent. They also strike back ally. As a result, the three city into a battlefield.
Another reason is, the supporters and the Institute Pasteur's laboratory. Provided by the Hospital Laboratory Tegalyoso. Meanwhile, the Pasteur Institute in Bandung, after it is taken over by the Indonesian people from the hands of Japan, 1 September 1945, moved to Klaten (One who joined the institute is Prof. move. Dr. M, Sardjito).
College life in Klaten more intense with the establishment of Fak. Dentistry beginning in 1948. This lasted until December 19, 1948, when the Dutch stormed into the area of the Republic of Indonesia.
Seven months before the invasion of the Netherlands into the Republic of Indonesia, precisely the beginning of May 1948, the Ministry of Education and Culture is already set up the Academy of Political Science in Yogyakarta. The Academy stands at the proposal of the Ministry of Interior, which is to educate prospective employees of the Department of the Interior, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Dep. Lighting.
When standing, the Academy of Political Science was led by prof. Djokosoetono, SH Some employees Dep. The Interior who studied here, among others: Djumadi lsworo, Soempono Djojowadono, Irnan Soetikno, Bambang Soegeng Wardi and Dradjat. Unfortunately, age is not old academy. After PKI Madiun uprising erupted in September 1948, the academy was abandoned his students. They come quell the rebellion and rebuild the damage that occurred. So this academy was forced to close.
If on top of the tell that the universities are forced to close in Klaten and Yogyakarta is a university that already operate, in Solo there are colleges that have been opened had to cancel inaugurated. Namely: Education Hall of Jurists. College was established 1 November 1948, as a result of cooperation between the Ministry of Education and Culture, Ministry of Justice.
Simultaneously, the Committee on the Establishment of Private Universities Solo, led by Drs. Notonagoro, SH, Koesoemadi, SH and Hardjono, SH, is also planning the establishment of the High School of Legal Affairs
Simultaneously, the Committee on the Establishment of Private Universities Solo, led by Drs. Notonagoro, SH, Koesoemadi, SH and Hardjono, SH, is also planning the establishment of the High School of Legal Affairs. The committee suggested that Specialist Education Law Center have merged with the High School of Legal Affairs. At least for efficiency. This proposal, apparently, accepted the government. Buktinva, Government Regulation no. 73 of 1948 mentioned that the Institute for Education Law Expert incorporated into the High School of Legal Affairs.
According to Prof. Dr. M. Sardjito, Solo Affairs Law School will be inaugurated on December 28, 1948. However, nine days before the inauguration, the Netherlands has stormed into the territory of the Republic of Indonesia. What may make, the struggle against the Dutch is a priority. As a result, this high school and had withered before menguntum before officially disbanding.
Not much to remember exactly when the idea arose to combine several universities struggle (This title, given by prof. Ir. Herman Johannes) mentioned above into a college. But, according to Prof. Dr. M. Sardjito, dated May 20, 1949, a meeting of Higher Education Committee, Hall Kepatihan Yogyakarta. The meeting was chaired by Prof. Dr. Soetopo, with members of the meeting, among others, Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX, Prof. Dr. M. Sardjito, Prof. Dr. Prijono, Prof. Ir. Wreksodhiningrat, Prof. Ir. Harjono, Prof. Sugardo and Slamet Soetikno, SH One result of the meeting are: several members of the meeting agreed the establishment of college back in the republic, namely Yogyakarta. Those who are willing to Prof. Ir. Wreksodhiningrat, Prof. Dr. Prijono, Prof. Ir. Harjono and Prof. Dr. M. Sardjito.
The main difficulty encountered by Professors tersest above in re-establishing the college in Yogya is no room for the lecture. Fortunately Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX willing to lend the palace and several buildings around the palace to the lecture hall. The main problem was solved. After that, other preparations had matured.
Efforts of the professors are finally bearing fruit. November 1, 1949, in the Duchy of High Peguruan Complex, Yogyakarta, stand back Faculty of Dentistry and Pharmacy, Faculty of Agriculture., And the Faculty of Medicine. The opening was attended by three faculty Bung Karno. In this opening, according to Prof. Dr. M. Sardjito, held a meditation for professors and students who have been killed in the war against the Netherlands, namely: Prof.. Dr. Abdul Rachman Saleh, Ir. Notokoesoemo, Roewito, Asmono, Hardjito and Wurjanto.
The next day, November 2, 1949, FakultasTeknik turn, the Academy of Political Science and a few faculty who are under the auspices of the Foundation Center of Gadjah Mada University is inaugurated. Yogyakarta City was again rife with college students.
The next day, November 2, 1949, FakultasTeknik turn, the Academy of Political Science and a few faculty who are under the auspices of the Foundation Center of Gadjah Mada University is inaugurated.
A month later, on December 3, 1949, Faculty of Law also opened in Yogyakarta. Faculty are moving Affairs Law School Solo. People who are instrumental in this transfer is Prof. Drs. Notonagoro, SH
Not easy to find information on why the date of 2 November 1949 are not directly founded a university that could overshadow three faculty who stood at the time. In addition to those involved with the establishment had died, documentation owned Gadjah Mada University (UGM) never mention it. It is natural that then needs to be suggested to GMU to search for those reasons. At the very least to improve the history of the establishment of the University of Gadjah Mada.
However, operation of return above 8 faculty since November 1, 1949, led to the birth of UGM, 19 December 1949. This date was chosen, as it is called Bung Karno. is to show the outside world that the Indonesian people could rise up, despite all-out attack by the Netherlands, December 19, 1948, in other words, December 19, 1949 was chosen to remove stains December 19, 1948.
At the time of its establishment, according to Regulation No. Pcmerintah. 23 of 1949, GMU has six faculties, namely: (1) Faculty of Engineering (in it including the Academy of Sciences and Academy Measure Teacher Education Section of Natural Science and of Science), (2) Faculty of Medicine in it, including the Pharmacy, and Dentistry section Teacher Education Academy of Chemistry and limu Hayat, (3) Faculty of Agriculture in there dalamya Academy of Agriculture and Forestry, (4) Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, (5) Faculty of Law, in which there is the Academy of Legal Expertise, Expertise Economic and Notary, Academy of Political Science and Academy Teacher Education Section constitutional, Economics and Sociology, and (6) Faculty of Literature and Philosophy in which there is the Literary Academy of Teacher Education.
At the time of the inauguration of the founding of UGM, Prof.. Dr. M. Sardi. Ito set as President of the GMU. At the same time also established the Senate and the Board of Curators UGM UGM. Regarding the latter, its staff consisted of a chairman (Honorary Chairman is Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX, while the Chairman is Sri Paku Alam VIII, vice chairman and members. It raises the notion that when UGM was born, he was ready to continue the struggle, namely to increase the dignity Indonesia's human.
From the history of the struggle to establish a series of UGM on top, it's not excessive if concluded that the establishment of UGM is an attempt to continue the struggle. This should be a handle for the entire academic community GMU
