南洋大学作为中国本土以外的第一所华文大学，长期以来是一所具争议性的高等学府。校长作为一校之首，在学府里扮演着举足轻重的角色。尤其是出任南大校长一职，更须肩负重任。在短短二十七年的南大校史中，南大出现七位校长，其中黄丽松是较特别的一位。他在1959年以《魏雅玲报告书》委员会的委员身份与南大第一次结缘，十年之后他又以南大校长的身份重新踏入南大校园。在任期的三年多里，黄丽松积极推动建立研究院，希望提高南大的学术风气。同时，他也使南大加入英联邦大学协会，把南大的形象国际化。他把南大办得有声有色，特别是在1972年初英女王伊丽莎白二世的造访，可说是南大创校以来最光荣的一刻。因此，本论文将探讨黄丽松与南洋大学的关系。首先，笔者将论述他早期参与《魏雅玲报告书》委员会时与南大的第一次接触；接着阐述他在十年之后出任南大校长时，他的办学理念以及他对南大所作出的贡献；最后则讲述他在离开南大之后对南大的关心，并且为他进行一些简单的评论。Nanyang University, being the first Chinese local university outside of China, has long been a controversial institute of higher learning. The President, being the authoritative figure, plays a pivotal role in the institution. Particularly as the President of Nanyang University, one must shoulder many responsibilities. Nanyang University had only seven presidents throughout the twenty-seven years of the school’s history and Rayson Huang is quite a prominent one amongst them. He was a member of the Gwee Ah-Leng Committee in 1959 and ten years later, he returned and became the President of Nanyang University. For the three years in office, he actively promoted the establishment of the Research Institute, in the hope of raising the university’s academic standards. In addition, in order to improve the university’s international standing, he also made great effort in helping the university to become a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities. Under his charge, Nanyang University was a resounding success, particularly when Princess Elizabeth II visited the university in 1972. It was one of the most memorable visits in the institution’s history. Therefore, this paper will examine the relationship between Rayson Huang and Nanyang University by discussing his early participation in the Gwee Ah-Leng Committee, followed by the years he was in office and lastly his concern for Nanyang University even after he had left it.
