The Chair of Child Health, deemed to be the origin of Hacettepe
Faculty of Medicine, was founded as part of the Faculty of Medicine,
Ankara University by Prof. Dr. İhsan Doğramacı on 2 February 1954.
The foundation stone of the university was laid in 1957 with the Child
Health Institute and Hospital within Hacettepe, which began its
training, education and research activities and public services in 1958.
The Nursing School, School of Medical Technology and School of
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation were established in 1961. The
School of Health Sciences offering education in the fields of
Nutrition and Dietetics was founded in 1962. It later took the name of
the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences in 1963. The School of
Basic Sciences, Nursing School, School of Medical Technology, School
of Physiotherapy-Rehabilitation, and the School of Physical Therapy
were all re-structured under the Faculty of Medicine and Health
Sciences. Meanwhile, the School of Dentistry was established under the
same faculty. Hacettepe Science Center was established in 1965 in
order to enable the coordination between the academic units within the
university. Hacettepe Medical Center was established in 1966.

İhsan Doğramacı (1915-2010) was a paedatrician and philanthropist of Iraqi Turkmen descent. The founding President of the Council of Higher Education of Turkey (1981-1992), he founded in 1984 Bilkent University,the first private university in Turkey. He was the last living signatory of the WHO Constitution (1946). and chaired the Board of UNICEF (1968-1970).
The flag of the university (photo, photo, photo, photo) is white with the university's emblem in the center.
The logo of the university was designed in 1967 by a student, Yücel
Tanyeri, now Professor at the Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of
Medicine:
One day, Prof. Dr. İhsan Doğramacı approached me and asked me to
design a logo for the university in three days... However, I had a lot
weight on my shoulders those days due to my upcoming exams, and needed
a free mind and more time for such a serious work. But there was no
turning back once Prof. Dr. İhsan Doğramacı asked something to be
done.
I thought of the deer logo I drew for the Theater Club one year ago.
The logo represented the Hittites in the Theater Club and the letters
"H" and "T" for Hacettepe. In no time, I drew the logo more properly
and submitted it to Prof. Dr. İhsan Doğramacı.
Soon the logo was anonymously accepted as the university logo at the
Senate Meeting, a fact that I could not quite understand back in those
days... But as Hacettepe University developed every day, I realized
that it was one of the greatest things that ever happened to me...
Moreover, I was honored that Prof. Dr. İhsan Doğramacı asked me to
design a logo for Hacettepe University, as he knew well-known and
talented artists who could very well assume the responsibility. But he
wanted the logo of the university which he founded out of thin air
with great efforts to be done by a student of that very university.
I saw the pride and joy Prof. Dr. İhsan Doğramacı took in this
during the Logo Ceremony when I was presented a big bronze
medallion... One side of the medallion reads “To Yücel Tanveri for
winning the Hacettepe University Logo Contest…” and, under that,
there is an open book and a burning candle, and the writing "Hacettepe
University, 1967". On the other side of the medallion, there is the
Hacettepe University Logo and the University Motto "TO THE LEADING
EDGE… TOWARD BEING THE BEST...".

Flag of ASBÜ - Image by Ivan Sache, 17 June 2017
Social Sciences University of Ankara (Ankara Sosyal Bilimler Üniversitesi - ASBÜ; website) was established in 2013. The university is composed of 5 Faculties (Social Sciences and Humanities, Political Sciences, Foreign Languages, Religious Sciences, and Law) and 5 Research Institutes (Social Sciences, East and Africa, Turkish World, Western World, and Islamic Studies).
The flag of ASBÜ (photo,
photo) is white with the university's emblem in the middle.
The emblem ( detailed explanation) is derived from the historical building housing ASBÜ,
originally designed in 1925 by architect Yahya Ahmet Bey as the office
of the Prime Minister.
The arch is taken from the first floor of the central corps of the
building.
The Tree of Life creates a vertical symbolism of ever-growing, rising
life. It symbolizes the universe living in continuous development and
change in a broad sense. With its roots descending to the depth of the
earth, the underground, the lower branches, and the skyline of the sky
combine with the ascendant paradise. The tree provides communication
between earth and heaven.
