History of Shanghai Institute of Technology

Shanghai University of Science and Technology (SUST) has been running for a hundred years, with a long history of culture. 1906, the University of Shanghai was founded with the motto of "Faith, Righteousness, Diligence, and Love". 1907, the Tongji German Medical Hall was founded, and after the World War I, the original site was changed into the French National College of Engineering in Central China, which has the motto of "Loyalty and filial piety, love and benevolence, Faith, righteousness, and peace". The school motto is "loyalty and filial piety, love and benevolence, faith and righteousness, and peace". Holding the will of self-improvement, hoisting the flag of education and taking the road of national revitalization are the unchanging pursuits of several generations of scholars. Even after all the vicissitudes of life, the school is still open to them, not forgetting the sacred duty of teaching and educating the people and strengthening the country through education. Over the past hundred years, we have cultivated 70,000 students, which is the crystallization of the humanistic concept of "faith, righteousness, diligence and love". Faith, is the faith Chong truth, faith and levy, speak of faith and cultivate harmony, honesty and not deceive; righteousness, that is, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom, comply with the Road Bingyi, righteousness, righteousness and dare to do; diligence, the diligence, diligence and diligence, diligence, diligence to make up for the clumsiness, diligence in the industry; love, the need for the great elegance of the fraternity, self-cultivation and love, love people to virtue, patriotism and respect for the work.　When the school's centennial celebration, mounted a new historical starting point, looking forward to the next hundred years, we can not be surging? A hundred years of humanistic concepts, should be given new vitality, "faith, righteousness, diligence and love, thinking, learning and aspiring", is the essence of the past and the future. Zi said: "Learning without thinking is confusing, thinking without learning is dangerous." For scholars, we should be prudent in thinking and discernment, and learn by thinking, think and innovate, and think to promote change. Learning is like climbing a mountain, moving and higher, learning is rich and high, learning is never-ending, can be true. Ancient saying: "non-tantalizing no ambition, non-tranquil no far-reaching." Ambition, is the starting point of learning, career foundation. Those who chase after fame and fortune, how can they have high aspirations for the state. If you are young and ambitious, you will be better than Europe and better than the world. Even in the twilight of the Tochigi, but still in a thousand miles. Therefore, the heart is calm and far-reaching, concentrated, far-sighted, will make a difference. With the heart of the grass to repay the sunshine, think of the school's wish for prosperity, looking forward to the strong feelings of the motherland, is today's students **** with the same wish. Springs Huiyuan cohesion of all the forces, *** exhibition of the grand re-creation of a hundred years of glory, let us love the school, the motherland, the eyes of the world, facing the future, *** with the Shanghai Institute of Technology, I wish you a better tomorrow.　Note: Laozi's disciple Wenzi: "non-indifference is not to virtue, non-tranquility is not far-reaching". Liu An of the Western Han Dynasty, "Huainan Zi - the main art of training": "Therefore, non-tan indifference can not be clear, non-tranquility can not be far-reaching". Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, "Commandments to the Son": "The gentleman's behavior is to be quiet in order to cultivate his body, and frugal in order to cultivate virtue. One cannot realize one's ambition without indifference, and one cannot be far-sighted without serenity."　 Tian Jiabing Comprehensive Building Graphic Information Center Edit this section of the history of the Military Industrial Road Campus in Yangpu District, originated from the 1906 founding of the University of Hujiang, February 1951, Hujiang University by the Shanghai Municipal People's Government to take over the school affairs by Yu Rixuan, Cai Shangsi presided over the 1952 national institutions of higher learning faculty restructuring, Hujiang University of the main faculties were merged into the Fudan University, East China Normal University, and other institutions, and the school site moved to the Shanghai Mechanical Engineering University, and the school site. In 1952, the main faculties of HUJI were merged into Fudan University, East China Normal University, and other related institutions, and the site was moved to Shanghai Mechanical College (now Shanghai University of Technology). University of Shanghai University of Shanghai was a Baptist university in Shanghai in the first half of the 20th century. Founded In 1900, during the Gengzi Rebellion, members of the Southern Baptist Convention's Central China Mission (mission in Jiangsu) and the American Baptist Missionary Union's East China Mission (mission in Zhejiang) came to Shanghai for refuge. During this time they reached a **** understanding and decided to jointly establish a school of higher learning in Shanghai (the two missions had not previously been very enthusiastic about engaging in a sideline business such as education). 1906 saw the opening of the first Baptist Theological Seminary at the north end of North Sichuan Road, with Dr. R.T.W. Wan, a Southern Baptist missionary, as its president. In 1909, Shanghai Baptist College was opened with Dr. J.T. Procter, a Baptist missionary from North America, as its president. 1911 saw the merger of the two parts to form "Shanghai Baptist College In 1911, they merged to form "Shanghai Baptist College and Theological Seminary" (Shanghai Baptist University), with Francis John White, a North American Baptist missionary, as president. The site was chosen on Military Industrial Road in Hudong, a beautiful campus with lush greenery and beautiful scenery on the banks of the Huangpu River, and in 1914 the Chinese name of the university was set as Shanghai Baptist University, with the motto of "Faith, Righteousness, Diligence, and Love", and the degrees were awarded by the State of Virginia in 1917. Changes In 1921, four female students were enrolled in HUE and the university was coeducational, which was the first coeducational Christian university in China.　At the end of the 1920s, the nationwide movement to "recover the right to education" led to the reorganization of the Board of Trustees and the addition of eight Chinese as trustees. 1927 saw the separation of the School of Theology, and in January 1928, the reorganized Board of Trustees of the University hired Dr. Zhanen Liu, a 31-year old graduate of the Department of Philosophy of Columbia University, to be its president. This was the first Chinese president in the history of HUE.　After assuming the presidency, Dr. Liu advocated for "more Chineseization" of the university, and was committed to reforming the university's affairs, emphasizing the unity of students and faculty, as well as academic freedom. He once said that the spirit of HUE was positive, progressive, constructive, and sacrificial. He never spoke harshly to students, but was kind and persuasive. Thanks to his efforts, HUFS was authorized to be officially filed with the Ministry of Education in 1929. A series of adjustments were made to the school's organization, with the establishment of the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Science, the College of Education, and other faculties and departments, all of which were headed by Chinese, from the dean to the head of the department. The curriculum focuses on laying a good foundation, emphasizing the integration of arts and sciences, and students generally have a high level of English proficiency. The after-school life of the students was very rich, including the Calligraphy Society, the Bodybuilding Society, the Harmonica Society, the English and American Literature Society, the English Drama Club, the Tennis Team, the Volleyball Team, the Soccer Team, the Men's and Women's Basketball Teams, the Athletic Team, the Women's Athletic Association, and so on. Among them, Zhang Jianlun of the soccer team later became a famous soccer player in Shanghai.　Liu Zhan'en had the personal experience of working and studying at the same time in his early years, and thus he was very caring to the poor and diligent students, setting up scholarships and bursaries, and giving them the opportunity to study and work at the same time.　Among the Christian universities in China, HUE was the first to carry out social work. 1913 saw the establishment of the Hudong Commune on Meizhou Road in Yangshupu, which was an educational institution focusing on the propagation of Christian doctrines and social welfare at the same time. After Liu Zhan'en assumed the post of principal, Hudong Commune was further developed. In addition to establishing kindergartens, primary and secondary schools for the children in the workers' area, it also opened a hospital and a clinic to provide free medical care to the surrounding workers and nearby farmers, which was well received by the community.　In 1929, HUFS filed a case with the Chinese government and changed its English name to University of Shanghai. In 1932, President Liu Zhan'en founded the HUFS Business School, also known as the Midtown Business School, in the Zhen Guang Building on Yuan Ming Yuan Road, which was the most prestigious school of HUFS, with the dean of HUFS being Zhu Boquan. In addition to the undergraduate program, there are other specialties and general courses, which are held in the spare time in the evenings to provide opportunities for higher education for the working staff and young people from poor families who are eager to learn. The school was run seriously, the curriculum was practical, and social celebrities such as Zhang Naiqi and Pan Shulun were hired to teach, so it was well received by the society. Became a good and effective evening university at that time.　Liu Zhanen assumed the presidency, presided over the construction of the university library, faculty housing, girls' gymnasium, boys' new dining hall and auditorium, etc., so that the school building from the initial Siyan Hall and other 3 buildings to increase to Huide Hall, Si Lei Hall and other 44 buildings, the size of the school has been a large development, and add a large number of experimental equipment, the number of students also has a large increase.　Principal Liu Zhan'en was not only a famous educator, but also an unswerving patriot. after the outbreak of the war of resistance in 1937, he was elected to be the director of the Shanghai People's Salvation Association of all walks of life, the head of the Anti-Japanese Federation of Shanghai Universities, the chairman of the Chinese Christian Refugee Relief Committee, and one of the founders of the International Society of the Pacific and the International Club. He did a great deal of work to publicize the anti-Japanese resistance, support the front line, provide relief for refugees, and pacify exiled students. Under his influence, the students of HJU also actively participated in the anti-Japanese salvation movement, and at the beginning of 1938, the Japanese attempted to lure him to serve as the pseudo Minister of Education, which he categorically refused to do. On April 7 of the same year, when Liu Zhan'en went to work, he was assassinated by Japanese and pseudo-assassins and was martyred. The news spread, shocked the Chinese and foreign countries, caused great indignation and grief of the whole country, more than 3,000 people from all walks of life for this outstanding patriotic educator held a grand funeral.　On April 7, 1938, Fan Zhengkang took over as principal. Alumni of HUFS and Soochow University in Chongqing had jointly opened the School of Law and Business.　After the outbreak of the war, HUE's campus was severely damaged due to its location in the war zone, and the school's main office was relocated to the Business School in the central part of the city. After the victory of the war, the university was officially reopened on October 1, 1945, and in February 1946, it was moved back to its original location on Yangshupu Military Road.　The Fuxing Road Campus, located in Xuhui District, originated from Devon Medical Hall, founded in 1907. German Medical School In 1891, Dr. Erich Paulun, a doctor with the German Navy, came to Shanghai and decided to leave the Navy to open a clinic in Shanghai when he saw that cholera, typhoid and malaria were prevalent in the city and there was a lack of medical treatment and medicines. He first went back to Germany to continue his medical training, to improve his surgical skills and to raise funds. 1893 came to Shanghai again, set up a clinic near the Shanghai German Church at that time, and initiated the "German Medical Association" together with several German doctors in Shanghai. 1899, the "German Medical Association" was not in good business, Erich Paulun through the In 1899, when the "German Medical Association" was not doing well, Erich Paulung raised a sum of money through the Chinese business community and German companies and corporations. W. Knappa, the German Consul General in Shanghai, sent P. D. Fischer, the Consular Counselor, to negotiate with the Chinese official in Shanghai, Shanghai Dao, who was responsible for the organization. Shanghai Dao decided to use a piece of land next to Zhangjabang New Road (now Fengyang Road in Shanghai) to organize a hospital, and around 1900, the "Tongji Hospital" founded by Erich Paulung was officially opened, which was the predecessor of the later Wuhan Tongji Hospital. Most of the physicians at the hospital were members of the "German Medical Association". They were busy running their own clinics during the day, and only came to the hospital in the evening for outpatient consultation and surgery. Dr. Erich Paulung saw that the medical force in the hospital was insufficient, and planned to set up a German language medical school in the hospital, enrolling Chinese students to train doctors. This plan was supported by the German Consul General in Shanghai and the Department of Higher Education of the German government, and in 1906, they set up a foundation to support the opening of the medical hall, assisted by the German "K?ppel Foundation for the Promotion of the Exchange of Ideas between Germany and Foreign Countries", which raised a number of medical books and magazines, as well as new types of surgical electric instruments and other items. In June 1907, the Medical Hall was opened.　Before the opening of the medical school in June 1907, the German consul general in Shanghai, Mr. Knappe, not only called on German merchants to donate money, but also asked the German foreign banks to collect donations from Chinese merchants. At the same time, Fischer also asked for Chinese official funding and support, Knappe used the donations collected in China and Germany, set up "for the Chinese to run the German Medical Hall Foundation". At that time, it was stipulated that the person who donated more money could become a director of the board of directors of the Medical Hall. When the medical school was established, it was named Shanghai German Medical School and a board of directors was set up to take charge of the school's management. The Board of Directors consisted of 18 members, the main members were: three German medical guild elders: Paulung, Fuchsaber (the second principal), and Falkel; three German merchants: Lemke, Michelob, and Reiner; two Chinese merchants: Zhu Baosan (Minister of Finance of the Governor's Office of Shanghai and Chairman of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, a big buyer), Yu Qiaqing (a buyer of the Dutch Bank); and Freiherr von Ruether, the vice-consul of the consulate-general, etc. Dr. Erich Paulung was appointed to the Board of Directors of the German Medical Hall in Shanghai, and was appointed as a member of the Board of Trustees. Dr. Erich Paulung was officially elected as the General Supervisor of the Board of Directors (Chairman of the Board) and the first Premier of the School (Principal), in charge of the management of the School. The school was located on Baike Road (today's Feng Yang Road, Shanghai) opposite to the Tongji Hospital, and on October 1, 1907, the inauguration ceremony of the German Medical School in Shanghai was held.　Later on, it passed through the name of Chinese French Industrial College, National Shanghai Advanced Mechanical Vocational School, Shanghai Machine Industrial School (junior college), etc. Since 1991, it was renamed as Shanghai Higher Institute of Mechanical Technology (junior college), and was upgraded to the status of a higher institute of technology, which is a school with a lot of specialties in the cultivation of application-oriented talents.　 Side Gate of Shanghai Institute of Technology (SIT) In May 1996, East China University of Technology (former Shanghai Mechanical College) merged with Shanghai Mechanical College to form Shanghai Institute of Technology (SIT) In 1999, Shanghai Research Institute of Optical Instruments (SRIOI) was merged into SIT. In July 2003, Shanghai Higher Institute of Medical Devices and Shanghai Higher Institute of Publishing and Printing were transferred to the management of Shanghai University of Technology.　In 2008, the site of the former Shanghai Ocean University Jungong Road Campus, located at 318 Jungong Road in Yangpu District, was transferred to Shanghai Institute of Technology, and Shanghai Institute of Technology South Campus was established. Previous Presidents J. T. Proctor (1906-1911) Francis John White (1911-1926) Herman C. E. Liu (1928-April 7, 1938) T.K. Van (1939-1942) Henry Hsien-yang. Hsien-yang. Lin, 1944-1949) Editorial History Evaluation Before the founding of the PRC, there were 14 church universities in China***, namely Yanjing University, Qilu University, Dongwu University, St. John's University, Zhijiang University, West China Concordia University, Huazhong University, Jinling University, South China Women's College of Arts and Sciences, Xiangya Medical University, Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences, and Hujiang University, Lingnan University, Concordia University, and so on. Although the number was small, the starting point was high. Under the historical conditions at that time, especially after the 1920s, the church university played a certain role as a model and guide in the process of modernization of Chinese education. Because of its system, institutions, programs, curricula, methods and even rules and regulations, it more directly introduced the Western modern education model, which had a profound impact on the education sector and society. Thus, the history of church universities is an indispensable chapter in the history of modern education in China, and they have made indelible contributions to Chinese higher education.
