As per the decision of the Dhaka University Syndicate meeting dated 21/08/1976, the then Hostel-1 was named as “A.F. Rahman Hall” after the name of the first Bangali Vice-Chancellor of Dhaka University and renowned educationist Sir A.F. Rahman. Though the word ‘Sir’ was not included in the naming of the Hall at that time, a recent meeting of Dhaka University Syndicate held on 13/03/14 added the word ‘Sir’ and renamed the Hall as “Sir A.F. Rahman Hall” in honour of the then Vice-chancellor of Dhaka University.

=A brief note about Sir A.F Rahman=

Sir A.F.Rahman was born on 28th December 1889 in the Jolpaiguri town of West Bengal. His full name is Ahmad Fazlur Rahman, and his father was Moulvi Abdur Rahman. As a student, he was extra-ordinarily meritorious. He passed the Entrance Examination in 1908, with scholarship, from the Jolpaiguri Zilla school. He obtained the B.A. (Hons.) Degree in History from Oxford University of England in 1912. Afterwards, he was engaged in research on “Political Economy” for two years at the London school of Economics.

Sir A.F.Rahman returned home from England in 1914 and joined as a lecturer in the Department of History of ‘Aligarh Anglo-Oriental College’ (now, Aligarh Muslim University). He was nominated as one of the distinguished members of the committee constituted to transform the aforesaid college into a University, and was also appointed as the secretary of the committee constituted for reform/ reconstruction that would be necessary if the college was transformed to a University.

As a member of the Commission of Calcutta University, Sir A. F. Rahman played a vital role in the establishment of the University of Dhaka. After establishment of the University of Dhaka on 1st July 1921, Sir A.F Rahman, being requested by the First Vice-Chancellor of Dhaka University Sir P.J. Hurtog, left the job at Aligarh and joined Dhaka University as a Reader (Associate Professor) of the Department of History. Later on, he was appointed as the First Provost of the Muslim Hall (now, Salimullah Muslim Hall) of Dhaka University.

Soft-spoken Sir A.F.Rahman was a famous historian, politician, and social reformer. Being voted by the Registered Graduates, he was elected a member of the then Bengal Parliament in December 1923 as a representative of Dhaka University. In November 1927, he was again elected, unopposed, a member of the Bengal Parliament from Nilphamary (now, a District) constituency. On joining the Bengal Parliament, Sir A.F. Rahman proved his wisdom. After completing his duration of membership in the Parliament, Sir A.F. Rahman was appointed a member of the Bengal Voting-rights Committee as well as a member of the Commission of Punjab University.

Being convinced of the work skill & efficiency of Sir A.F.Rahaman, the then British Government appointed him as the Vice-Chancellor of Dhaka University on 1st July 1934. As the first Bangali Vice-Chancellor of Dhaka University, Sir A.F. Rahman discharged his responsibilities with high credibility till 31st December 1936. In recognition of his successful and famous contributions, the University of Dhaka conferred on him the Honorary Doctorate Degree in the year 1937.

To recognize his excellent deeds, the British Government honored Mr. Ahmad Fazlur Rahman by awarding the royal ‘Night’ title in the year 1942. But it is our misfortune that this great man of rare talents passed away on 10th December 1945 only at the age of 56 years.
