Anyone who pays a little attention to China universities will know the famous Shanghai Jiaotong University and Xi Jiaotong University, but there are definitely more than these two universities in China, at least Southwest Jiaotong University and North Jiaotong University are equally eye-catching. There is an international forum of Jiaotong University in the "Unnamed BBS of Peking University" of Peking University, which is composed of these four Jiaotong University plus famous Asian universities and Hsinchu Jiaotong University in Taiwan Province Province. So, what is the connection between these five research institutes? I believe most people know nothing except the blood relationship between Shanghai Jiaotong University and Xi Jiaotong University. Because the history of Jiaotong University is too complicated and chaotic, even the students of Jiaotong University may not be able to explain it clearly. Nanyang College, the predecessor of & ltBR & gt Jiaotong University, was born in 1896. Together with Beiyang University founded by Sheng Xuanhuai, it is the earliest university founded by China people in the modern history of China. Since then, Nanyang and Beiyang have joined hands to create a new chapter in the history of higher education in China. Actually, objectively and fairly speaking, the first university with higher academic significance in China is Beiyang University Hall, which is the predecessor of Tianjin University today, and Nanyang College is the second. However, due to the Boxer Rebellion in Tianjin at the end of 19, the teachers and students of Beiyang University were forced to transfer to Shanghai Nanyang Public School to teach, so the first batch of college students in modern China all graduated from Nanyang University, among which Zhang Wei, the former vice president of Tsinghua, is still famous. & ltBR & gt Although Beiyang University was earlier than Nanyang Public School, its development has not been as good as Nanyang Public School due to the war. In particular, Beiyang Institute of Technology, which moved from Xi 'an to other universities in Peiping during the Anti-Japanese War, was devastated by the war in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and gradually disappeared until Tianjin University was established in the former site of Tianjin after liberation, but the historical context was broken. Today, we can still see the words "former Beiyang University" on Tianda's online homepage, and their respect for historical traditions still deserves our respect. On the other hand, Nanyang Public School, located in the Shanghai Concession, developed rapidly after its establishment. Until the mid-1920s, it became indisputably the first institution of higher learning in China. This, of course, was because Peking University and Central University had not yet awakened, and Tsinghua had not yet been established. At that time, there were many star students in Jiaotong University, including Huang Yanpei (later the first deputy prime minister of the State Council), Wang An and so on. Among them, Li Shutong is a unique figure in the history of Jiaotong University. He is proficient in writing, lyrics and songs, which is rare in the century-old history of Jiaotong University. & ltBR & gt At that time, Jiaotong University used the original textbooks of MIT, which was called "Oriental MIT" by the world. It's a pity that up to now, no one in the five jiaotong universities dared to mention the courage of that year. A hundred years of vicissitudes, really touching. & ltBR & gt After the establishment of Nanyang Public College, it changed its name several times with the change of government at that time. It was even once called Shanghai Industrial School, and it didn't have a bright name until the end of this century-Nanyang University. However, the good times did not last long. After the 1920s, the Kuomintang government merged Nanyang University, Tangshan Road and Mine School (predecessor of Southwest Jiaotong University) and Beiping Post School (predecessor of North Jiaotong University) to establish national chiao tung university, which was subordinate to the Ministry of Communications. The headquarters is located in Shanghai, which is called the first, second and third Jiaotong University in turn, and the latter two are later called Tangshan Institute of Technology and Beiping Institute of Technology. & ltBR & gt It is said that it is precisely because it is called Jiaotong University that President Tang decided to celebrate the school on April 8, which means "extending in all directions" from the transportation. In addition, there is a superstitious saying that "points". Later, jiaotong university was really divided into five jiaotong universities, and the adjustment of departments was not counted. On the other hand, since the Ministry of Communications changed its name to Jiaotong University, Jiaotong University has been positioned as a university of science and engineering, and its development direction has been basically determined. & ltBR & gt Originally, Jiaotong University had a good humanistic foundation. It turns out that Nanyang Public School has a special class, and the head teacher used to be the famous Cai Yuanpei, who trained many famous talents in humanities and arts (such as Li Shutong). At that time, most literary celebrities in Shanghai came to study, just like today's China Europe International Business School of Jiaotong University. It is said that even General Cai E, who was frustrated in Shanghai at the beginning, got a postgraduate diploma (unofficial history) under the persuasion of Fengxian Xiao, a confidante, which shows his great fame. Later, the humanistic atmosphere of Nanyang University was also good, because President Tang was a former scholar of the Qing Dynasty, Hanlin, a famous scholar of Chinese studies, and this major certainly needed some effort. By Jiaotong University, the liberal arts had disappeared. Zou Taofen, a famous alumnus, vomited blood in the middle of the night because of the strict requirements of science and engineering at Jiaotong University, and had to transfer to St. John's University to study journalism. If we hadn't run early, I'm afraid there was another celebrity missing in China's modern history, which can only be said to be the sorrow of Jiaotong University. Later, in addition to science and engineering, Jiaotong University gradually established the School of Management in 1930s and 1940s, becoming one of the earliest universities in China to offer accounting and management majors. Unfortunately, after liberation, it was adjusted by the department and transferred to Fudan University and Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. At that time, Zhu Dongrun, a famous professor of humanities at Jiaotong University, also went to Fudan University. Nowadays, most of the world's first-class universities are comprehensive universities. Jiaotong University suffered a lot because of its congenital deficiency. & ltBR & gt The development of a university is closely related to the leadership of the school, and a good president often marks a milestone in the development of the school. There are Cai Yuanpei, Jiang Menglin and Fu Sinian in Peking University; Tsinghua has Mei Yiqi and Jiang Nanxiang; Zhejiang University has Zhu Kezhen and Lu Yongxiang; Among the many presidents in the history of Jiaotong University, Sheng Xuanhuai, Tang, Ling Hongxun, Deng Xuchu (Party Secretary) played an important role in the development of Jiaotong University. In the 1920s and 1930s, presidents of Jiaotong University came forth in large numbers, and celebrities such as Ling Hongxun and Li came forth in large numbers. At that time, the school-running philosophy of Jiaotong University was to build "MIT in the East". At that time, most of the teachers of Jiaotong University were doctors studying in the United States, and their level was very high. For example, Zhu Wuhua is a doctor from Harvard, Zhang is a doctor from MIT, and there are Ling Hongxun, Wang and so on. At that time, university professors had a high social status and the whole society respected them. The salary of several hundred yuan was more than ten times the average salary of ordinary civil servants at that time. & ltBR & gt Most of the textbooks used by Jiaotong University in those years were original textbooks of MIT, which were very strict and hard to pass. Being admitted to Jiaotong University is one in a thousand, and getting a diploma from Jiaotong University is equivalent to getting a golden rice bowl. Pick and choose, Beijing's colleges and universities have been strengthened late, so naturally they are not considered; The Central University has died out and is not "reliable" politically; Shanghai has the largest number of universities, and Jiaotong University has the strongest strength. Jiaotong University was a red university before and after liberation, which was the most suitable both academically and politically, so the State Council and the Ministry of Higher Education chose Jiaotong University at that time. Hearing this, the Party Committee and school leaders of Jiaotong University at that time felt that the Central Committee entrusted such a glorious task to Jiaotong University, which was a trust in Jiaotong University, and they accepted it. So Peng Kang and other school leaders went to Xi 'an to choose the school site, until 1956 Xi 'an's school building moved. & ltBR & gt At that time, most of the teachers of Jiaotong University were from Shanghai or lived in Shanghai for a long time, and they had deep feelings for Shanghai and Jiaotong University. Some teachers think that the westward movement has weakened Jiaotong University, and their feelings and life are unacceptable. However, due to the political atmosphere at that time, they dared not bring it up, so they had to move westward gradually. By 1957, the problem of moving westward caused a strong discussion among teachers and students of Jiaotong University. It was divided into
Its purpose is to strengthen the contact, unity and cooperation between alumni and their alma mater, carry forward the fine tradition of Jiaotong University, and contribute to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the friendship of people of all countries and the development of their alma mater. Its task is to communicate with alumni, alma mater and alumni, give full play to their intellectual advantages and extensive influence at home and abroad, and contribute to the development of their alma mater and the reunification and modernization of the motherland. Overseas alumni of & ltBR & gt Jiaotong University are still attached to their alma mater because of their glorious tradition of drinking water and loving their country and school, and actively care for and support their alma mater academically, economically and socially. According to incomplete statistics, Jiaotong University has more than 5,000 overseas alumni all over the world, mainly in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong and Taiwan Province Province, and has established local alumni associations to hold alumni activities regularly. & ltBR & gt In the United States, Jiaotong University has the largest number of alumni and the most active alumni activities. Alumni branches have been established in new york, Washington, Southern California, Northern California, Houston, Midwest, Newfoundland and other places, and the alumni reunion activities of Jiaotong University are held every five years. The 7th Annual Meeting of Global Jiaotong University Alumni in 2000 has been successfully concluded. According to the then World Journal, Jiang, an old alumnus from Taiwan Province Province, announced the establishment of the "Global Jiaotong University Alumni Association" before the meeting ended. The first president was Wang Daohan; The eight vice presidents include Xie, Tan, Zhou Benkuan, Li Tianhe, president of American Alumni Association, Guo Ruoming, president of Taiwan Province Jiaotong University, and Chen Mingmin, president of Hong Kong Jiaotong University. Secretary-General Jiang. The & ltBR & gt Hong Kong Alumni Association is also very active, with close ties with its alma mater and great support. On April 8 every year, overseas alumni from thousands of miles away return to school one after another, attend graduation anniversary parties, donate money and materials, hold lectures, and express the wishes and expectations of overseas children. All the alumni studying in Japan went abroad for further study after 1980s, and most of them have obtained master's and doctor's degrees, teaching in universities or working in big companies. 1998, 100 More than one alumnus got together and formed the Alumni Association in Japan. & ltBR & gt After a century of Jiaotong University, we are one in the world. ...
