Recognizing donors <strong>of</strong> $25,000 or more during <strong>the</strong> <strong>2012</strong> fiscal year, <strong>the</strong> Mountbatten Society is<br />

named for Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten <strong>of</strong> Burma and <strong>the</strong> first president <strong>of</strong> <strong>UWC</strong><br />

International. Mountbatten was a British admiral and statesman and <strong>the</strong> uncle <strong>of</strong> Prince Philip,<br />

Duke <strong>of</strong> Edinburgh. He was <strong>the</strong> last viceroy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> British Indian Empire (1947) and <strong>the</strong> first<br />

governor‑general <strong>of</strong> independent India (1947‑1948).<br />

Lord Mountbatten supported <strong>UWC</strong> and encouraged heads <strong>of</strong> state, politicians, and prominent in‑<br />

dividuals throughout <strong>the</strong> world to share his interest. Under Mountbatten’s presidency and personal<br />

involvement, <strong>the</strong> <strong>UWC</strong> <strong>of</strong> South East Asia was established in Singapore in 1971, followed by <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>UWC</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Pacific (now known as Pearson College) in Victoria, Canada, in 1974. In 1978, Mount‑<br />

batten passed <strong>the</strong> presidency <strong>of</strong> <strong>UWC</strong> to his great‑nephew, His Royal Highness <strong>the</strong> Prince <strong>of</strong> Wales.<br />
