Its predecessor was Qiushi College, which was founded in 1897. It is one of the earliest institutions of higher learning for the people of China. In 1930s and 1940s, the National Zhejiang University led by Zhu Kezhen gathered a large number of famous scholars. Mathematics is rich in Baodi, Chen and Su, physics is rich in Hu, Wang, Zhu, chemistry is rich in Wang Baoren, Wang Fu and Lu Jiaxi, biology is rich in Luo Zongluo, Bei and Tan Jiazhen, civil engineering motors are rich in Linxi and Wang Guosong, and historical geography is rich in Tan Qixiang, Ren Meizhen and. Later, a large number of outstanding scholars and masters appeared among the students. In the era of Zhu Kezhen, Zhejiang University was known as "the four famous universities in the Republic of China" with the then National Central University, National Southwest Associated University and National Wuhan University. Professor Joseph Needham, an academician of the Royal Society, a famous biologist and historian of science and technology at Cambridge University in England, visited Zhejiang University twice and praised it as "Oriental Cambridge". 1952 National colleges and universities were adjusted, and Zhejiang University was dismembered, which was at stake. The best science in South China was transferred to Fudan as a whole, and the strength of engineering was reduced to two-sevenths. The departments of literature, agriculture and medicine of Zhejiang University are divided into Hangzhou University, Zhejiang Agricultural University and Zhejiang Medical University. Since 1980s, a large number of old Zhejiang University people, such as the famous mathematician Su, the famous biologist Bei, the famous physicist Wang, the famous geneticist Tan, the famous psychologist, the former president of Hangzhou University, Mr. Chen Li, the famous soil chemist, and the former president of Zhejiang Agricultural University Zhu Zuxiang, are unwilling to let Zhejiang University fall apart, and have written to the Central Committee to demand the restoration of old Zhejiang University. After many twists and turns, the Third Hospital of Zhejiang University finally returned and was reorganized into today's Zhejiang University on September 1998. After 100 years of construction and development, Zhejiang University has become a research-oriented comprehensive university with solid foundation, strong strength, distinctive features, ranking first in China and great international influence. It is one of the first key universities to enter the national "2 1 1 Project" and "985 Plan". The current president is Professor Yang Wei, an academician of China Academy of Sciences and an expert in solid mechanics.
