The NUS Medicine Heritage Tie

Singapore’s oldest institution for medical education traces its roots to 1905, starting out as the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States Government Medical School before being renamed the King Edward VII Medical School and eventually, the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.

This tie commemorates the 110th anniversary of the School, which has trained generations of healthcare professionals and the majority of doctors in Singapore.

Handmade by the English tailor and robemaker firm of Ede & Ravenscroft, the tie features the caduceus symbol depicted on the King Edward VII College of Medicine coat of arms. The NUS primary corporate colours of orange and blue feature boldly in this design, expressing the enduring humanistic ideals of Medicine and its continual quest for scientific illumination and application in the service of mankind.
