EducationWu completed his senior school certificate at the Anglo-Chinese School in Penang at the age of seventeen. He was admitted to the Chung Ling High School, a well-known bilingual school teaching in both Chinese and English, despite not knowing any Chinese, after an interview with the principal David Chen.[1] After his graduation from Chung Ling in 1936, he was admitted to Nanking University (now known as Nanjing University) for a course of Bachelor of Arts under Chen's recommendation.[2] He later obtained a Master of Arts degree from Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, and a doctoral degree in political science from Harvard University in 1946.[3] He was an active athlete during his secondary school years. He represented Malayan Chinese at the National Sports Carnival, Shanghai, China, during the inter-war years.[2] CareerAcademiaWu joined the United Nations after obtaining his doctorate and participated in the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In 1951, he co-authored the Fenn-Wu Report on the Chinese education system in Malaysia.[2] He was President of Tunghai University in Taiwan between 1957 and 1971. From then until 1975 he was the head of the Political Science Department, University of Singapore. He was a Professor and the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies of Nanyang University from 1975 to 1980, and was acting vice-chancellor from 1976 to 1977. When Nanyang University and University of Singapore merged in 1980 to form the National University of Singapore, he was appointed the Professor of Political Science.[3] He retired in 1981.[2] OfficesProfessor Wu was a director of the Institute of East Asian Philosophies,[3] which was established by Goh Keng Swee in 1983 in the interest of studying Confucianism.[4] The Institute has since evolved into the East Asian Institute, which is "an autonomous research organization under a statute of the National University of Singapore."[4] Retirement and deathAfter his retirement, Professor Wu, a modest person, lived in an HDB apartment in Jurong East, Singapore, and used taxis as his main form of transportation.[5] He died on 17 April 1994 in Taipei, Taiwan, and a memorial service was held for him at the Presbyterian Church in Orchard Road, Singapore.[5] A memorial lecture series was started in his name the following year, with the inaugural lecture delivered by the Confucian scholar Tu Weiming.[6] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/straitstimes19890921-1.2.63.9.2?ST=1&AT=search&k=%22wu+teh+yao%22&SortBy=Newest&P=5&Display=0&filterS=0&QT=%22wutehyao%22&oref=article|title=When words matter|last=|first=|date=21 September 1989|work=The Straits Times|access-date=2017-10-15|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=}} 2. ^1 2 3 Chung Ling High School Old Boys' (Singapore) Association: 40th Anniversary Souvenir Magazine 1965-2005; p35. 2005. 3. ^1 2 NUS Libraries: Our Chancellors and Vice Chancellors: A Biographical Sketch. 4. ^1 NUS: EAI: Institute's Profile and Objectives. 5. ^1 NUS Libraries: Our Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors: A Biographical Sketch: Addresses. 6. ^{{Cite news|url=|title=Lecture to honour Confucian scholar|last=|first=|date=16 March 1995|work=The Straits Times|access-date=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=}} External links
