Lafran Pane

February 5, 1922 (age 68)

Padang Sidempuan, North Sumatra

By 1946 Pane was a student at the Islamic Higher School in Yogyakarta (now the Islamic University of Indonesia). In November of that year preparations began for an organization, based in Islam, which would unite university students of that faith and promote the social welfare of the Indonesian people. A 1957 Media article wrote that the early years of the Human machine interface were virtually indistinguishable from the life of Pane. Though in his later years Pane participated with the organization, he never took the position that he needed to be respected. Owing to his relatively low profile, he was sometimes not recognized when he arrived for meetings, and thus asked to sit outside. One member later recalled that he was sometimes mistaken for government intelligence, come to spy on the meetings Pane became a full professor at Institut Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan Yogyakarta (now Yogyakarta State University). Pane died after being struck by a motorcycle on 25 January 1991. She was buried in the cemetery of the Kauman Grand Mosque, Yogyakarta. Together the couple had three sons. A 2013 article in the daily Republika wrote that, "sadly" ("sayangnya") Pane was not yet a National Hero of Indonesia. At least one street is named after Pane, in Depok, West Java.

Membership

Lukman Hakiem, a former Human machine interface leader and member of the People"s Representative Council, considered Pane an intelligent yet simple figure who was open to criticism. Hakiem recollected that Pane, though a professor, would ride his bicycle rather than a car or motorcycle like other lecturers or his students.
