A brief history of its predecessor

Hwa Nan College

In 1907, Mr. Chen Baochen, the imperial teacher of the Qing Dynasty, founded "Fujian excellent normal school".

 

In 1908, the preparatory course of South China Women's College of Arts and Sciences was established, and miss Lydia Trimble was elected president. In the preparatory course of the college, a house in nicuo lane of cangqianshan is rented as a dormitory.

In December 1911, the foundation of South China Women's College of Arts and Sciences was laid at the new site of cangqianshan.

In 1917, South China Women's College of Arts and sciences began to establish a four-year undergraduate program. It first set up a department of education and graduated from the first undergraduate program in 1921.

In 1921, South China Women's College of Arts and Sciences decided to apply to the State University of New York for the grant of bachelor's degree.

On September 28, 1922, he received the provisional recognition certificate from the board of directors of the State University of New York.

On October 9, 1931, South China Women's College of Arts and sciences applied to the central Ministry of education for registration. Therefore, in addition to the adjustment of the curriculum of the college according to the regulations of the Ministry of education, the education funds of the college must also reach a certain quota according to the regulations of the Ministry of education.

In June 1933, the Ministry of education allowed South China Women's College of Arts and Sciences to temporarily file a case, admitting seven departments including Chinese, foreign languages, education, home economics, mathematics, chemistry and biology.

In June 1934, South China Women's College of Arts and Sciences was approved by the Ministry of education for permanent filing. On September 21 of the same year, it was officially recognized by the board of directors of the State University of New York that it has the right to grant Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of science degrees.

In 1935, South China Women's College of Arts and sciences joined the United Christian Ministry of 13 universities in the United States.

On June 21, 1938, South China Women's College of Arts and Sciences moved to Nanping.

In 1941, after the fall of Shenzhou, the Japanese invaders invaded northern Fujian, and the blocking battle of Gutian Dahu was the key battle to defend Northern Fujian. Between the high mountains, food is hard to supply. The Nanping garrison decided to rush to make 200000 pieces of light cakes, tie them into strings, and send them to the great lakes within a time limit. All the teachers and students of South China University worked hard day and night, devoted themselves to the front support work, and attached a morale boosting note to each bag of dry food. The battle of the Great Lakes was won. The patriotic actions of the teachers and students of the college have been highly praised by the army and the people.

In 1941, the Peng's building of Fuzhou school was on fire, and the library, laboratory and classroom were all set on fire.

In August 1945, after Japan's unconditional surrender, the reconstruction of Peng's building was not yet completed. From January to March 1946, the task of moving the college back to Fuzhou was completed in three batches. On March 13, 1947, the president of Boston University personally awarded Wang Shijing an honorary doctorate in humanities.

In April 1951, the departments were adjusted and the South China Women's College of Arts and Sciences was merged with Fujian Union University to establish Fuzhou University.

 

Fujian Union University

In 1911, Dr. Gao Chuo, the president of the Council of higher education, was elected by the world Christian Congress（ Dr.John Goucher came to Fuzhou to establish a University jointly with the six Christian churches in Fujian. After several preparations, the board of directors was set up in 1915. With w.l.beard as the chairman, aduin was elected C. Jones was the first president of Fukien Christian University.

In February 1916, the school rented the old Russian business tea shop in cangqianshan, Fuzhou, and officially opened classes. The senior students of Yinghua, Gezhi, Sany in Fuzhou and Yinghua and Xunyuan five academies in Southern Fujian were first-year students. There were 81 students in total, but no girls were recruited. There are 5 full-time teachers and 4 part-time teachers.

In 1917, the State University of New York in the United States recognized the University as a qualified university. Referring to the management methods of American university graduates, it recognized that its graduates could also obtain a bachelor's degree. The following year, the board of directors of Roche foundation of the United States, in view of the growing scale of the University, designated a large sum of money year by year for the appointment of additional professors and the purchase of equipment.

In January 1919, Roche foundation provided funds for the construction and maintenance of the Science Museum of the University, and set up six scientific lectures. Mr. Zhuang's brother and sister-in-law also donated to Jianwen college a book purchase fund year by year.

In 1922, the school selected Kuiqi Township in Fuzhou as its site, and built a new school building at the foot of Gushan Mountain and the Bank of Minjiang River.

In 1925, the College of liberal arts, the science museum and 30 school buildings were completed successively. In memory of President Zhuang, Edwin C. Jones Memorial science hall was named after the science museum.

In 1927, the board of directors of the University was reorganized, the president of the University resigned and returned to the United States. The affairs of the University were returned to the people's Republic of China. Lin Jingrun, an alumnus, took over the post of president of the University and filed a case in accordance with the regulations of private universities promulgated by the national government.

In 1928, with the help of he's Chinese culture research foundation, he expanded the departments of the College of Arts.

In 1931, the Ministry of education of the national government approved the "private Fujian Union College" because the university only had arts and science, which did not meet the requirement that the university should have at least three colleges. In 1934, the female dormitory was completed and began to accept female surnames.

In 1936, with the subsidy of Fujian provincial government, two departments of Agronomy and agricultural economy were established, and an agricultural experimental farm was set up.

In 1937, the North Fujian agricultural and Forestry Experimental Farm was set up in Shaowu as a preparation for the development of the Department of Agricultural Sciences.

After the outbreak of the Anti Japanese War, Xiedu moved to Shaowu in May 1938.

In the spring of 1940, the Ministry of education expanded the Department of Agronomy into the Department of Agronomy and the Department of horticulture. At the same time, the Department of literature and history is divided into the Department of Chinese literature and the Department of history.

In April 1942, the Ministry of Education approved the change of "private Fujian Union College" to "private Fujian Union University", and the change of Arts, science and agriculture to arts, science and agriculture. A new stamp was issued. It was put into use on October 16 of the same year. According to the regulations of the board of directors (put on file by the Ministry of education in February 1929), the school aims at "fraternity, sacrifice, service spirit, advanced academic research, noble and sound personality, and social needs". Therefore, "fraternity, sacrifice and service" is also the motto of HKU.

In October 1944, when Fuzhou was occupied for the second time, the school buildings in Kuiqi Township were looted by the Japanese army. None of the instruments and equipment left in the school survived. Even the doors, windows and floors were demolished, and two-thirds of the trees were cut down. The school of Arts was set on fire. The roof and non cement parts were destroyed. The dining hall, recreation hall and staff residence were also broken through stairs, leaving only the shell. In total, the school buildings were damaged and lost more than 300000 US dollars Yuan. Among them, the loss of Sha's archaeological museum is the most serious. There are more than 3600 pieces of antiquities in the museum, including magnetic ware, bronze ware, pottery, stone axe and so on from Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. Professor Sha Shande spent decades of painstaking efforts and huge funds to collect them, and all of them have disappeared.

In May 1945, the Japanese army withdrew from Fuzhou and surrendered in August. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, xieyue prepared to be demobilized in November and moved back to Fuzhou.

In the summer of 1946, the buildings of the College of liberal arts and other departments were completed successively, and five temporary school buildings were added, such as the auditorium, the general office of the agricultural college and the staff residence. The class resumed on May 1. After months of arduous engineering restructuring, the mountains are grey and the flowing water is magnificent, and we begin to hear the song of the past again. On September 2, President Lin Jingrun went to the United States on vacation. On October 20, Chen Xien, acting president and teachers, arrived from the United States.

On May 16, 1947, under the leadership of the Chinese underground party organization, the student autonomy Association of Peking Union University mobilized more than 600 students to break through the threat and obstruction of the Kuomintang, organized the largest and most powerful "three evils" (anti hunger, anti civil war and anti persecution) parade in Fuzhou City, and distributed the "letter to Fuzhou citizens". Along the Taijiang River, Xiaoqiao and yangtoukou in the urban area, the team passed through nanmendou and went all the way to the Kuomintang provincial government in Gulou, where they submitted a petition to the authorities.

In January 1951, the Ministry of education of the CPC Central Committee decided to take over Xiehe University and South China Women's College of Arts and Sciences, and merged them into Fuzhou University. The ceremony of the merger of the two universities and the founding of Fuzhou University was held on April 12, 1951 at the former Association University of Kuiqi, Fuzhou. The newly established leading body of Fuzhou University is the Council, with Xu Jianqing as the director and Yan Shuxia and Wang Shijing as the deputy directors.
