Page "Alexandre Yersin" Paragraph 5

Alexandre Yersin is well remembered in Vietnam, where he was affectionately called Ông Năm ( Mr. Nam / Fifth ) by the people.

Following the country's independence, streets named in his honor kept their designation, and his tomb in Suoi Dau was graced by a pagoda where rites are performed in his worship.

Yersin's house in Nha Trang is now the Yersin Museum, and the epitaph on his tombstone describes him as a " Benefactor and humanist, venerated by the Vietnamese people ".

At Ha Noi, a French Lycée has his name.

A private university founded in 2004 in Da Lat was named " Yersin University " in his honour.
