Abstract
基于新马许多华文中学生毕业后求学无门，于是陈六使先生在1953年1月16日再次提出创办华文大学的建议，这次提议获得许多新马各界人士的热烈响应。
南洋大学诞生时,是新马政治史上最动荡的时代。因此，在创办初期就面临了许多困难和阻力，幸而新马华社最终突破重重难关，终于在云南园建起海外第一所华文大学，也是唯一一间民间所创办的华文大学。
创办初期，最大的问题就是筹募庞大的建校基金，所以本论文欲借助一九五四年《星洲日报》报导的新闻，探讨南大如何依靠民间的力量募集到这么庞大的资金。同时，也进一步探讨当时重要的华文媒体《星洲日报》，是如何成为建校的幕后推手，最终竟使新马华社为南大筹款的义举演变成一场社会运动。

In response to the increasing demand for higher education for Chinese Secondary schools’ graduates in Singapore and Malaya, Mr Tan Lark Sye proposed for the second time on 16 January 1953 the foundation of a Chinese University. His proposal was warmly accepted by the public and Nanyang University was established.
As it was formed in an era of political instability, the initial stage for the creation of Nanyang University faced many challenges and obstacles. The most critical issue during this period was the lack of capital; massive amounts were needed and there was no funding from the British Malaya Government. With the support of people from all walks of life, donations started to pour in. The establishment of Nanyang University was funded mostly by public donations, and the University was able to conduct its first lesson in 1955.
This dissertation will explore how the Chinese played an active role in realizing the dream of establishing the first and only overseas Chinese University of that time through raising funds via the Sin Chew Newspaper (1954). The Sin Chew Newspaper was a driving factor behind the birth of the university. This study will also trace how the Newspaper contributed to the fund-raising during the year of 1954.
