Introduction to the College:
Nanjing University is the first modern university in China that integrates teaching and research. Its academic lineage can be traced back to the first year of Sun Wu Yong'an (258). The modern history of Nanjing Taixue began with the establishment of Sanjiang Normal School in 1902, and has gone through many changes. In 1920, the "female ban" was first established among Chinese national institutions of higher learning, leading the trend of coeducation. It was the first to carry out modern academic research in China and established the earliest modern scientific research laboratory in China. It became the earliest modern university in China characterized by university autonomy, academic freedom, liberal arts and science as its foundation, as well as specialized applied subjects such as agriculture, industry and commerce, and integrating teaching and research. University. The establishment of the monthly "Xueheng" made Nanjing University a center for academic and cultural exchanges between China and the West, and was known as the "Center of Oriental Education." In 1949, the name was changed from "National Central University", the highest institution of higher education in China during the Republic of China, to "National Nanjing University". The following year, it was renamed "Nanjing University", which is still used today.
Nanjing University is the birthplace of modern science in China? It is the gathering place of China's "Xueheng School" under the influence of Harvard University's Babbittism, and is known as the "Chinese Science Society". "The base camp and the main base for scientific development" was praised by Yang Zhenning as "China's top university". It is also the only university among the first nine high-level universities of the "985 Project" that has not merged with other universities.
