"A Half-full glass" and "An Half-empty glass",
though in reality are the same
is not the same to the hearer.
What Dr. Htin Aung has written,
and my review on his work, a dissension,
are bound to effect the reader differently.
I present my views, on my bended knees, to my respected elder,
and our common teacher Professor U Po Tha :
they are no longer living, yet they still do in my humble heart. -- UKT130218
Note to myself: I have split MYANMAR into 5 folders.

UKT notes
- 130110:
Myanmar spellings in both Myanmar script and in Romabama and are
included. Romabama spellings are within { }, and words within < > are
regular English words. Whenever a paragraph in an original text appears to be
unnecessarily long, or when there is a need to insert a lengthy explanation,
I have split up the paragraph marking the place with the mark, [UKT ¶ ] .
Now that I know just a wee bit of Sanskrit language written in
Devanagari script (Skt-Dev), I will give the Skt-Dev words which are supposed to
be Pali-Myanmar by people of Myanmarpré. Those who speak Hindi and Sanskrit must
take care that they do not use the IAST (International Alphabet of Sanskrit
Transliteration), and the IPA (International Phonetic Assoc.) transcription, but
use only the Romabama transcription (which is very close to pronunciation).

by U Kyaw Tun
Dr. Htin Aung, Ph.D., D.Litt., Associate Fellow,
St. Antony's College, University of Oxford, was the Rector and
Vice-Chancellor, University of Rangoon, 1946-59.
He had also served the Rangoon University as the professor
and head of department of English. During his tenure
as the rector, he founded the Anthropology department
in which he served as the professor and head of department.
He was also the Burmese Ambassador to Ceylon,
1959-63. Dr. Htin Aung was well loved by his staff and students.
Myanmars held him in high esteem because of his learning
and academic abilities.
Dr. Htin Aung, or as Maung Htin Aung as he
would like to call himself was the son of U Hpein.
U Hpein was a deputy commissioner in the service of
the British colonial administration in Burma
before the Second World War.
Dr. Htin Aung was the rector of
the Rangoon University when I joined the institution first as a
student (1950 to 1955), and then as an assistant lecturer in chemistry (1955) .
Though I did not know him personally, I, as one of the students and then as a
staff had met him almost daily.
When the annual graduation ceremony came around,
he would hand out the certificates to the recent graduates
in the presence of the whole university senate presided over by
the chancellor. In those days, the rector was also the commanding colonel of the
University Training Corps and the chancellor was the prime minister. Dressed in
colonel uniform at the head of his troops, he would welcome the prime minister.
There would be a military band, and as Dr. Htin Aung was quite short in stature
even for a Burmese, and rather plump, the view was quite remarkable. Then,
the prime minister would enter the Council Chamber attended by Colonel Dr. Htin
Aung. Once inside, the colonel would disappear for a few minutes and return to
the chamber in academic robes as the rector. During this time the prime minister
had put on the chancellor robes and cap.
