Dalat University

Da Lat University (Vietnamese language: Đại học Đà Lạt, French: Université de Dalat; formerly Viện Đại học Đà Lạt) is a university in the city of Da Lat, Lam Dong Province, Vietnam. The original Da Lat University was established in 1957 — after support of and requests by Archbishop Pierre Martin Ngô Đình Thục — by the Council of Vietnamese Catholic Bishops as a centre for education in Da Lat city. After the Fall of Saigon in 1975, the Vietnamese name of this university was renamed Đại học Đà Lạt (Da Lat University). Today, this is a multidisciplinary university which offers undergraduate and graduate education for the region of Tay Nguyen.

Famous quotes containing the word university:

    Within the university ... you can study without waiting for any efficient or immediate result. You may search, just for the sake of searching, and try for the sake of trying. So there is a possibility of what I would call playing. It’s perhaps the only place within society where play is possible to such an extent.
    Jacques Derrida (b. 1930)
