Through the search, it can be found that the first president of Tsinghua University was Tang Guoan.
However, Lingling believes that there are errors on the Internet, including the content searched, which may not be 100% accurate.
For this reason, Lingling World specially consulted the official website of Tsinghua University and confirmed that the first president of Tsinghua University was Luo Jialun!
According to the official website of Tsinghua University, Tsinghua Academy was established in April 1911, and the superintendent at that time (not called the president at that time) was Zhou Ziqi. In October 1912, it was called Tsinghua School, and the principal was Tang Guoan. In September 1928, it was called National Tsinghua University, and its president was Luo Jialun. During the Anti-Japanese War, Peking University and Tsinghua University were successively combined into National Changsha Provisional University and National Southwest Associated University. In October 1946, he was called back to National Tsing Hua University. After January 1949, it was called Tsinghua University.
Therefore, by checking the official ** of Tsinghua University, it is clear that the first president of Tsinghua University is undoubtedly Luo Jialun!
There is a scene in the movie "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", which is about a young man boldly debating with English professor Gu Hongming at Peking University, and that young man is Luo Jialun.
Luo Jialun's ancestral home is Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and he was born in Jinxian, Jiangxi Province in 1897. In the summer of 1917, 20-year-old Luo Jialun was admitted to Peking University, majoring in foreign languages.
The famous May Fourth Movement was named by Luo Jialun.
On May 4, 1919, Peking University students marched to Tiananmen Square, and Luo Jialun, Zhang Tingji, Jiang Shaoyuan and others were elected as the general student representatives.
On May 26, 1919, Luo Jialun published a short article in the Weekly Review entitled "The Spirit of the May Fourth Movement" - this was the first time that the "May Fourth Movement" was put forward in the form of a concept, and the May Fourth Incident became the May Fourth Movement.
In 1949, Luo Jialun went to Taiwan and successively served as the "National Policy Adviser" to the staff of the leader of the Taiwan authorities and served in a number of institutions.
On December 25, 1969, Luo Jialun died in Taiwan at the age of 72.
