Ndugu wanajamii Forums nimeamua kuanzisha uzi huu Mahususi kwa University of Dar es salaam yaani kiufupi kila kitu kinachohusu university of Dar es salaam.
Nimeamua kuanzisha mimi kama Alumnus wa chuo kikuu cha DSM.
Historia Fupi ya CKD
Historia ya chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaama inaanza na Dar-es-Salaam University College iliyoanzishwa siku ya Jumatano tarehe 25 Oktoba mwaka 1961, ikiwa ni miezi mitatu kabla ya uhuru. Wazo la kuanzisha chuo hiki lilikuwa ni la Nyerere aliyekuwa akijiandaa kuongoza serikali ya Tanganyika baada ya uhuru huku akiona wazi kuwa kulikuwa na upungufu mkubwa sana wa wasomi wenye uwezo wa kuongonza ngazi mbalimbali za serikali. Hivyo akaanzisha chuo hiki chini ya udhamini kitengo cha External Programs cha Chuo Kikuu cha London (University of London) kufundisha sheria kwa kufuata mtaala wa Chuo Kikuu cha London, taaluma ambayo ilihitajika sana katika uendeshaji wa serikali wakati huo baada ya uhuru. Chuo hiki kilianza na wanafunzi 13 katika katika jumba ambalo baadaye lilijengwa kuwa ghorofa la Mnazi Mmoja pale mtaa wa Lumumba.
Chini ya udhamini wa University of London, wahitumu wa chuo hicho walikuwa wakitunikiwa digrii za sheria za University of London, yaani LLB(London). Viongozi wa kwanza wa chuo walikuwa ni raia wa Australia A.B Weston ambaye ndiye aliyekuwa Dean wa kwanza akisiadiwa na afisa utawala mwingereza Mr Snaith. Wahadhiri wa kwanza walikuwa ni waingereza watatu: William Twinning, Patrick Mc Auslan na Sol Piccioto, mwamerika mweusi mmoja Mr Pink na mkanada mmoja Cranford Platt. Nadhani wahitimu wa kwanza chini ya Dar es Salaam University College ni pamoja na ama Mark Bomani aliyekuwa mwanasheria mkuu wa kwanza mzalendo au Justice Augustine Saidi aliyekuwa Jaji Mkuu wa kwanza mzalendo, au Julie Manning aliyewahi kuwa waziri wa sheria; sina uhakika sawasawa.
Baada ya nchi zote za Afrika ya mashariki kuwa huru, Nyerere alishauri kuwa colleges za Dar-es- Salaam, Makerere na Nairobi ambazo zote zilikuwa affiliate colleges of University of London ziungane na kuwa chuo kikuu cha afrika ya Mashariki (University of East Africa). Ni kweli wazo hilo lilikubalika na mwaka 1963, ikaundwa University of East Africa ikiwa na Colleges hizo tatu; Makerere University College ikitoa elimu ya tiba na Elimu (Medicine and Education), Nairobi University College ikitoa zaid elimu ya Uhandisi (Engineering) na Dar es Salaama University College ikitoa zaidi elimu ya sheria (Law). Nyerere akawa ndiye mkuu (Chancellor) wa kwanza na wa pekee wa chuo hicho cha East Africa, kwani baada ya yake kilivunjwa. Ndiyo maana wanasheria wengi mashuhuri wa kwanza Afrika mashariki, kwa mfano Francis K. Butagira wa Uganda, walisoma Dar es Salaam; madaktari wengi mahiri, kwa mfano Professor Makene, walisoma Makerere; na wahandisi wengi nguli mfano Professor Mshana walisoma Nairobi.
Mwaka huo wa 1963, Serikali ilihamiisha kampasi ya Dar es Salaam University College kutoka Lumumba kwenda Ubungo eneo linalojulikana leo kama Mlimani. Wakati huo eneo hilo lilikuwa limejitenga sana na sehemu nyingine ya mji, na kuwa na mazingira mazuri ya kusoma bila bugudha. Inaaminika kuwa eneo hilo lilitolewa zawadi kwa Nyerere na mzee mmoja aliyekuwa akilimiliki wakati huo, sina uhakika na stori hiyo. Kwa hiyo kuanzia wakati huo majengo mapya cha Chuo yalianza kujengwa; kuna majengo kama Nkurumah Hall yalijengwa kwa msaada wa serikali ya Ujerumani Magharibi (wakati huo) na majengo kama Hall Two na Hall Five yalijengwa kwa msaada kutoka Israeli, yalijengwa na kampuni iliyojenga Kilimanjaro Hotel (Kempinski leo), ndiyo maana yana muonekano wa kufanana structurally.
Baada ya uhuru, nchi hizi za Afrika ya Mashariki zilijisogeza pamoja kwa kipindi kifupi tu na baadaye zikaanza kutofautiana kidogo kidogo. Kwa mfano mwaka 1966, zilivunja bodi ya sarafu ya Afrika mashariki na kila nchi ikaanzisha benki kuu yake na kutoa sarafu zake. Ni vivyo hivyo kulianza kuwepo kwa figsu kwa Nyerere kuwa anatunuku digrii za Chuo Kikuu cha Afrika ya Mashariki kwa Kenya na Uganda, hivyo kuvunjika kwa University of East Africa na kuanzishwa kwa vyuo vya Makerere University, University of Nairobi, na University of Dar es Salaam. Chuo kikuu cha Dar es Salaama unachojua leo kilianzishwa rasmi kwa sheria ya Bunge namba 12 of 1970 baada ya kuvunjika kwa University of East Africa.
Kwa Kushirikiana na Wanazuoni wengine toka udsm tutaweka na tuta-update baadhi ya taarifa muhimu toka chuo hichi kongwe kwa kadri taarifa itakavyohitajika na jamii
Tunaomba Ushirikiano Wenu!
