Founded 1906 in Nanjing for overseas Chinese students, relocated to Guangzhou after 1949. The name 暨南 comes from 《尚书》 '东渐于海, 西被于流沙, 朔南暨, 声教讫于四海', roughly 'reaching south', signaling its mission to spread Chinese education overseas.
mistakes
Don't confuse with 济南大学 (Jǐnán Dàxué, in Shandong's Jinan city). Same pinyin 'Jinan' in romanization, different characters and tones: 暨南 = Jì-nán, 济南 = Jǐ-nán.
