历史

Traditional Learning in Shandong (1733-1900)

Buildings of the Luoyuan Academy in Jinan

The Luoyuan Academy (Chinese: 泺源书院; pinyin: Luoyuán Shūyuàn) was established in Jinan in the year 1733 by an imperial edict from the Yongzheng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The governor of Shandong, Yue Jun (simplified Chinese: 岳浚; traditional Chinese: 岳濬; pinyin: Yuè Jùn), received 1,000 taels of silver (approximately 37 kg) to establish the academy. The name "Luoyuan" (literally "source of the Luo [River]") refers to the original location of the academy near the Baotu Spring. The academy was dedicated to teaching the Chinese classics to the sons of the gentry. In 1881, the American Presbyterian missionaries John Murray (Chinese: 莫约翰; pinyin: Mò Yuēhàn) and Stephen A. Hunter (Chinese: 洪士提反; pinyin: Hóngshì Tífǎn) attempted to purchase a property adjacent to the Luoyuan Academy for use as a chapel. This led to a violent reaction when on July 13, 1881, literati from the Academy incited an attack on the property. The incident, known as the "Jinan Jiaoan" (Chinese: 济南教案; pinyin: Jìnán Jiàoàn), had considerable diplomatic repercussions and it took several years to settle the resulting issues. The Luoyuan Academy was rebuilt extensively in 1896 to become the largest institution of its kind in Shandong. In 1901, it was replaced by the newly founded Shandong College which took over its campus (today the site of the Provincial Bureau of Statistics on Spring City Road, Chinese: 泉城路; pinyin: Quán Chéng Lù).

19th-Century precursor institutions

Calvin W. Matteer established Tengchow College in Dengzhou (Penglai).

The earliest precursor institutions that would later be fused into Shandong University were founded by American and English mission agencies: In 1882, Tengchow College was established by Calvin W. Matteer, an American Presbyterian in the area of the modern Penglai on the north-eastern coast of Shandong Peninsula. In 1884, British Baptists established Tsingchow Boy's Boarding School in Qingzhou, also located in northern Shandong, but not directly on the coast.

In 1902, the American and British missionaries agreed to combine their schools in Shandong, and establish an Arts College in Weifang, a Theological College in Zibo, and a Medical College in Jinan. In 1909, all three colleges were consolidated as Shantung Protestant University (later changed to Shantung Christian University). The informal name of the school, "Cheeloo University", was derived from "Qilu", a nickname of Shandong Province coined after the ancient states of Qi (1046 BC-221 BC) and Lu (10th century BC-256 BC) that existed in the area. Jinan was chosen as the new location for the university.

Henry W. Luce led the fundraising for Cheeloo University in Jinan.

A prominent member of Cheeloo University's faculty was Henry Winters Luce (1868–1941), the father of the publisher Henry R. Luce (founder of TIME Magazine, Fortune, and Life). Henry W. Luce initially led the fundraising efforts for the new campus in Jinan (today the Baotuquan Campus of Shandong University); from 1912 to 1915, he raised 300,000 dollars for the new campus in Jinan from donors in the United States . The buildings were designed by the architectural firm of Perkins, Fellows, and Hamilton from Chicago. Henry W. Luce was elected vice-president of Cheeloo University in 1916, but resigned in the following year already, because he felt that he had insufficient support for his vision of a university of major national influence from President E. Percy Bruce.

Cheeloo University particularly expanded in the field of medicine: From 1914-1936, the university built Cheeloo Hospital and between 1916 and 1923, the former Peking Union Medical College, the Medical Department of Nanking University, the Hankow Medical College, and the North China Union Medical College for Women were all moved to Jinan and merged into the Cheeloo University School of Medicine.

Lao She taught at Cheeloo University and National Shandong University in Qingdao.

The writer Lao She, author of the novel "Rickshaw Boy" and the play "Teahouse", taught at Cheeloo University (1930–1934) as well as at National Shandong University in Qingdao and other universities between 1934 and 1937.

In 1937, when the Japanese occupied northing China during the Second Sino-Japanese War, Cheeloo University evacuated to Sichuan and operated on the campus of West China Union University in Chengdu. In Jinan, the University's hospital remained open with a largely Western staff. During the war, the Japanese military used the entire campus for housing about 1,200 patients along with 600 officers.

During the Korean War (1950–1953), the Chinese government came to regard Christian schools as tools of "American imperialism" and hence embarked on closing them down. Cheeloo University was dissolved in 1952. Its Medical School was fused with Shandong Provincial Medical College and the East China Norman Bethune Medical College to form Shandong Medical College (renamed into "Shandong Medical University" in 1985).

Shandong College (1901)

As governor, Yuan Shikai (shown as Emperor of China in 1916) drafted the charter for Shandong College.

The initiative for the founding of Shandong University (as Imperial Shandong Univeristy, Chinese: 山东大学堂; pinyin: Shāndōng Dàxué Táng) in 1901 as a national, modern university came from Yuan Shikai, then the governor of Shandong province. Yuan Shikai was the chief military modernizer of the late Qing Dynasty whose control over a powerful army combined with his personal ambition played a key role in the birth of the Republic of China as well as its descent into warlordism in the early 20th century.

Yuan Shikai had been governor of Shandong Province since December 1899. He had been appointed to this post to quell the Boxer Uprising in the province and to reassure the foreign diplomats in the country who were looking for quick decisive actions against the boxers.

In 1901, Yuan Shikai sent a draft for the university charter (simplified Chinese: 山东大学办学章程; traditional Chinese: 山東大學辦學章程; pinyin: Shāndōng Dàxué Bànxué Zhāngchéng) to the Guangxu Emperor and instructed Li Yukai, the magistrate of Penglai, to start preparations for the university. The draft of the university charter was approved by the emperor in November 1901, shortly after the Boxer Uprising had officially ended with the signing of the Boxer Protocol on September 7, 1901. Shandong College became hence the second modern national university established in the country after Imperial Capital University (simplified Chinese: 京师大学堂; traditional Chinese: 京師大學堂; pinyin: Jīngshī Dàxuétáng) that had been founded in 1898 and later became the forerunner of Peking University. Shandong University's original charter document is now kept in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan.

Watson M. Hayes was invited to organize Shandong College and served as its first dean.

Governor Yuan Shikai wanted a prominent position for Western learning in the curriculum of the new college . Hence, he invited the American Presbyterian missionary Dr. Watson McMillan Hayes (Chinese: 赫士; pinyin: Hèshì, 1857–1944) who was then serving as president of Tengchow College in Penglai to help with setting up the new Shandong College and serve as its dean. Hayes arrived in Jinan in July 1901 and started the preparations for the new college . Hayes also published Shandong's first successful daily newspaper and petitioned the Qing court to grant a holiday on Sundays; Shandong College was closed on Sundays right from the start. However, by the end of the year, Hayes and six Chinese Christian teachers he had brought with him had resigned already over disagreements regarding the policy of mandatory Confucius worship for students of the college. Hayes went on to teach the Presbyterian Mission Theological Class in Cheefoo (Yantai) and continued to work as a missionary and educator in Shandong until his death in a Japanese internment camp in Weifang (Wei County) in 1944.

Shandong College occupied the premises of the Luoyuan Academy which had been renovated and extended significantly 5 years earlier. It was opened officially on November 13, 1901 in a ceremony attended by Governor Yuan Shikai. 299 student were enrolled in the first term, of which 120 passed the first examination and 100 were finally admitted. The first faculty had 50 members that also included teachers from overseas, it was later increased to 110. The curriculum contained not only the Chinese classics, Chinese history, but also social sciences, natural sciences, and foreign language with more than 20 subjects being taught in total. At the beginning, the curriculum covered 3 years, but it was later expanded to 4 years.

"Western studies" faculty of Shandong College (presumably W. M. Hayes and the six Chinese Christian teachers he had brought with him)

The first president of the new university was Tang Shaoyi. Tang had been educated in the United States (elemetary school in Springfield, Massachusetts, high school in Hartford, Connecticut, and finally one year at Columbia University) and had since then followed a career that had been closely linked to Yuan Shikai: He had been a diplomat with Yuan Shikai's staff in Korea and was appointed head of the Shandong Bureau of Foreign Affairs under governor Yuan Shikai in 1900. He would later become the first Prime Minister of the Republic of China (in March 1912, again under the presidency of Yuan Shikai). As Prime Minister, however, he sided with Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang against Yuan Shikai and resigned after only three months in office.

In 1904, the Shandong College moved to new premises in the Ganshi Qiao (Chinese: 杆石桥; pinyin: Gānshí Qiáo) area of Jinan (located to the south-west of the historical city center) and changed its name to "Shandong Institution of Higher Learning" (Chinese: 山东高等学堂; pinyin: Shāndōng Gāoděng Xuétáng). In 1911, it changed its name again, this time to the "School of Higher Learning" (Chinese: 山东高等学校; pinyin: Shāndōng Gāoděng Xuéxiào).

National Shandong University in Qingdao (1909-1936)

Gate of National Shandong University in Qingdao. The building in the background was originally part of the German Bismarck barracks.

German Admiral von Tirpitz backed a plan that gave the Chinese government a stake in the new university of Qingdao.

The first modern academic institution in the port city of Qingdao was the German-Chinese "Advanced School of Special Sciences of a Special Type" ("Hochschule für Spezialwissenschaften mit besonderem Charakter", Chinese: 特别高等专门学堂; pinyin: Tèbié Gāoděng Zhuānmén Xuétáng) founded on October 25, 1909. In establishing the university, the German authorities took a much more accommodating approach towards the Chinese government than they had taken in the annexation of the territory. The negotiations over the establishment of the school were led by sinologist Otto Franke. Although the German governor Oskar von Truppel vigorously objected to Chinese influence over the school, Franke's collaboration plan received firm backing from Admiral von Tirpitz as well as the German envoy in Beijing. The university operated under the supervision of the German naval administration, but was recognized and supported financially by the Chinese government. The cumbersome name of the school ("spezial" or "tebie", i.e., "special") was chosen at the insistence of the Chinese government to reflect its special status, below the Imperial College in Beijing but above the other provincial Chinese universities. The local informal name for the university was "Hainan School" in reference to an old name for Qingdao. Studies were organized in a "preparatory level" with a six-year (since 1911, five-year) curriculum for students aged 13 to 15 years and an "upper school". Subjects covered included German, history, geography, mathematics, natural history, zoology, botany, health, physics, chemistry, drawing, music, sports, as well as Chinese language and sciences. Whereas engineering and natural sciences were taught in an entirely "Western mode", the Chinese and European approaches were combined in the teaching of the humanities. Religious subjects had been excluded from the curriculum at the request of the Chinese government. The number of students at the school rose to about 400 in 1914, the school assembled a German and a Chinese library with about 5000 and 8000 volumes respectively. School operations ceased with the beginning of the First World War in 1914 and never resumed.

Gao Enhong, first president of the private Qingdao University and governor of the Jiaozhou territory

Poet Zang Kejia studied at National Shandong University and later co-edited the "Selected Poems of Chairman Mao".

Qingdao reverted from Japanese to Chinese control in 1922 and Qingdao University was founded as a new private university in August 1924; its first president was Gao Enhong (Chinese: 高恩洪; pinyin: Gāo ēnhóng), the governor of the Jiaozhou territory. The former German-Chinese university was not mentioned during the opening ceremony and it was decided not to hire foreign teachers for the time being. Qingdao University was housed in the former Bismarck barracks that had been constructed for the German troops during the time when Qingdao was part of the German concession in Shandong. The curriculum of Qingdao University was mainly focused on engineering and business administration and a bachelors degree was to be awarded after 4 years of study. Luo Ronghuan, later a marshal of the People's Liberation Army, was among Qingdao University's students. Qingdao University fell on hart times after the Zhili clique of warlords that had ruled Shandong since the takeover from the Japanese unexpectedly lost to its rival Fengtian clique in the Second Zhili-Fengtian War of 1924. Gao Enhong was forced to resign as president of the university and funding dried up.

Warlord Zhang Zongchang ordered the fusion of six schools into a provincial Shandong University in Jinan.

The Fengtian clique installed the warlord Zhang Zongchang as ruler of Shandong. Zhang, an illiterate former bandit who had built a reputation mainly for ruthlessness, brutality, and colorful antics, ordered the fusion of six schools into a provincial Shandong University (Chinese: 省立山东大学; pinyin: Shěnglì Shāndōng Dàxué) in Jinan in 1926.

In 1928, the Kuomintang Government in Nanjing regained control of northern China and Shandong through the Northern Expedition. Soon afterwards, preparations commenced for a National University in the province. In August 1928, the government ordered the replacement of the provincial Shandong University with a National University in Shandong. The National University of Qingdao was formally established with an opening ceremony on September 21, 1930. In 1932, it was renamed "National Shandong University". Like Qingdao University, Shandong National University was housed in the buildings of the former Bismarck barracks. The University's chancellor, Yang Zhensheng (Chinese: 杨振声; pinyin: Yáng Zhènshēng), followed the model set by Peking University in establishing an "inclusive" (Chinese: 兼容并包; pinyin: Jiānróng bìngbāo), "scientific and democratic" (Chinese: 科学民主; pinyin: Kēxué mínzhǔ) academic environment. During this period, Shandong National University hired distinguished scientists, scholars and literary figures such as Lao She, Wen Yiduo, Shen Congwen, Liang Shiqiu, the nuclear physicist Wang Ganchang (faculty member from 1934 to 1936), and Tong Dizhou. Poet Zang Kejia, who later co-edited the "Selected Poems of Chairman Mao" (Chinese: 毛主席诗词讲解; pinyin: Máo Zhǔxí Shīcí Jiǎngjiě, 1957), was a student of Wen Yiduo from 1930-1934 in Qingdao.

Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945)

In November 1937, a few months after Marco Polo Bridge Incident that had marked the outbreak of a fully-fledged war in July of the same year, National Shandong University was evacuated from Qingdao. The university first moved to Anqing in Anhui Province and soon afterwards to Wanxian in Sichuan Province (today Wanzhou District in Chongqing). Books, equipment, and administrative files were shipped in separate installments and suffered severe loss. Classes resumed in Wanxian in Spring 1938, but were stopped soon after that on orders of the Ministry of Education. Teachers and students were then transferred to the National Central University that had been moved from Nanjing to Chongqing in the previous year. The books and equipment of Shandong University were temporarily placed into storage in the National Central Library, the National Central University, and the National Central Vocational School. After the war, in the spring of 1946, the University moved back to Qingdao.

Post-war period (1945-1965)

Communist Party Meeting at Shandong University in 1959, during the Great Leap Forward

In 1951, East China University (Chinese: 华东大学; pinyin: Huádōng Dàxué) was merged into Shandong University. In the same year, the university started to publish the "Journal of Shandong University". Cheeloo University was dissolved in 1952 and its Medical School became part of Shandong Medical College. Prior to the Sino-Soviet split, Soviet faculty members worked at Shandong University. In October 1958, the University moved back to Jinan from Qingdao. The marine sciences remained in Qingdao, where they later formed Shandong Ocean University. In Jinan, Shandong University first occupied the Hongjialou Campus. Construction of the new Central Campus commenced in 1959, during the Great Leap Forward and in the year of a great Yellow River flood. Shandong University was added to the list of National Key University on 10 October 1960.

Cultural Revolution (1966-1976)

Zhou Enlai intervened to restore Shandong University during the Cultural Revolution.

Starting from early June 1966, schools in Jinan were closed down by strikes as teachers were "struggled against" in the Cultural Revolution. Shandong University was also completely paralyzed by the events. A complete restructuring was imposed on Shandong's university system: According to a resolution passed by Revolutionary Committee of Shandong Province on July 29, 1970, the liberal arts of Shandong University were moved to Qufu and combined with Qufu Normal College to form a new Shandong University. The biology department was moved to Tai'an and merged into the Shandong Agricultural College. The rest of the sciences was to form the Shandong Science and Technology University. In 1971, the university's admission policy was also changed: In order to open the university to workers and peasants, new students were now nominated "by the masses" and then approved by the political leadership and the university. Until 1976, a total of 3267 students who were admitted under this scheme graduated after completing a 2- or 3-year curriculum. Premier Zhou Enlai learned of Shandong University's reorganization in 1973. Although he was already terminally ill with bladder cancer at the time, he intervened and ordered a return to previous structure of the university. As a consequence, all organizational changes imposed by the Revolutionary Committee of Shandong Province were undone in early 1974 already.

Recent history (1980-present)

Shandong University at Weihai was established in 1984. In 1985, Shandong Medical College was renamed Shandong Medical University. From 1986 to 1996, Shandong University underwent a period of rapid academic expansion. By 1997, is contained 14 colleges, 45 schools and offered 56 undergraduate program, 57 master degree programs as well as 17 doctoral degree programs. Shandong University merged with Shandong Medical University and the Shandong University of Technology in 2000. With Shandong Medical University the former campus of Cheeloo University became part of Shandong University (as the West Campus, renamed Baotuquan Campus in 2009). The campus of Shandong University of Technology became the South Campus of Shandong University (renamed Qianfoshan Campus in 2009). Construction of the Xinglongshan Campus (then under the name "New South Campus"), a large new campus located in a mountain valley to the south of Jinan dedicated to education of first- and second-year undergraduate students, began in 2003.

Campuses

Shandong University has a total of seven campuses. All but one of them are located in Jinan, the capital city of Shandong Province. Together they cover an area of 3.8 km². The only campus outside of Jinan is situated in the city of Weihai near the tip of Shandong peninsula.

Central 校园

New Building under construction on the Central Campus in January 2010

Construction of the Central Campus commenced in 1959, about a year after the University had moved back from Qingdao to Jinan and during a time that coincided with the Great Leap Forward, the Great Chinese Famine, as well as a devastating flood of the Yellow River (in July 1959). The Central Campus houses the central administration, the main university library, a large dining hall, as well as several student dormitories. The central campus is home to the schools of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Economics, History and Culture, Marxism-Leninism, Life Sciences, Mathematics and System Science, Literature and Journalism and Communication, as well as Information Science and Engineering. One of Shandong University's hotels (Chinese: 山东大学学术交流中心; pinyin: Shāndōng Dàxué Xuéshù Jiāoliú Zhōng xīn, or for short: "Xueren Dasha", Chinese: 学人大厦; pinyin: Xuérén Dàshà) is also located on the central campus.

Hongjialou 校园

Sacred Heart Cathedral on Hongjialou Square

The Hongjialou Campus derives its name from the Hongjialou Square and is located to the north and east of Hongjialou Square and the Sacred Heart Cathedral (Chinese: 洪家楼耶稣圣心主教座堂; pinyin: Hóng Jiā Lóu Yē Sū Shèng Xīn Zhŭ Jiào Zuò Táng). The first construction on the campus dates back to 1936 when it was used for the Jinan Yifan Girls' Middle School (Chinese: 懿范女子中学; pinyin: Yìfàn Nǚzǐ Zhōngxué) that was operated by Franciscan sisters (Chinese: 艾修女; pinyin: ài xiū nǚ) of the Archdiocese of Jinan. In 1948, the Yifan Girls' Middle School was combined with Liming Middle School (Chinese: 黎明中学; pinyin: Límíng Zhōngxué) and its former campus became part of the Shandong Agricultural Institute that used it until 1958, when the Institute moved to Tai'an. In October 1958, the Hongjialou Campus became Shandong University's first Campus after the University moved back to Jinan from Qingdao. The Hongjialou Campus houses the Schools of Law, Foreign Languages and Literature, Physics, Fine Arts, Physical Education, Philosophy and Social Sciences, as well as Political Science and Public Administration.

Baotuquan 校园

Alumni Gate, the former main entrance to Cheeloo University

The Baotuquan Campus is the former campus of Cheeloo University and was established in 1909. The design for the campus was made by Perkins, Fellows and Hamilton, an architectural firm from Chicago renown for its school buildings in the "Prairie School" style. The American architects attempted to include Chinese architectural features into the design of the buildings on the new Cheeloo University campus in Jinan. They did, however, mistakenly assume that the roof shape was the only distinguishing feature of Chinese architecture. As a result, the buildings feature Chinese-style roofs on buildings that lack the matching support elements such as wooden Dougong brackets that characterize Chinese architecture. Historical buildings on the Baotuquan Campus include the Bergen Science Hall (Chinese: 柏尔根楼; pinyin: Bǎiěrgēn Lóu, formerly for Chemistry and Biology), the Matteer Science Hall (formerly for Physics and Physiology), the McCormick Hall, and the Alumni Gate (the former main entrance, construction completed on June 17, 1924). At present, Baotuquan Campus houses the schools of public health, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, and medicine.

Qianfoshan 校园

The Qianfoshan Campus was established in 1949 and served as the campus of Shandong University of Technology. It became a part of Shandong University when Shandong University of Technology was merged into Shandong University in July 2000. The campus has a total area of about 420,000 square meters and remains exclusively dedicated to engineering. It is home to the schools of Materials Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Technology, Control Science and Engineering, Energy and Power Engineering, Physical Education, as well as Civil Engineering.

Xinglongshan 校园

University hospitals

Shandong University Qilu Hospital

The "Republican Building" of Qilu Hospital was built in 1914 and inaugurated by military governor Jin Yunpeng.

Qilu Hospital was first established as the hospital of Cheeloo University. Construction started in 1914 and was supervised by Harold Balme (1878–1953), a British physician from King's College Hospital in London, who would later serve as the third president of Cheeloo University (from 1921 until 1927). The first building of the new hospital (today known as the "Republican Building") was inaugurated on September 27, 1915 by the military governor of Shandong, Jin Yunpeng.
