近代中国私立大学校长与政府的关系

The Relation between the Presidents of Chinese Civilian-run Universities and the Government in Modern Times

在中国近代高等教育发展史上,私立大学扮演着极为重要的角色。在办学条件方面与公立大学无法相比的情况下,私立大学能逐渐发展壮大,其校长的个人魅力毋庸置疑。私立大学校长与政府之间若即若离的关系,体现了自由知识分子与政府之间斗争与合作的关系。随着时代的不断发展,私立大学最后得以被政府承认与资助,将成为中国民办高等教育发展的一种趋势。

In the development history of modem Chinese higher education, the civilian - run colleges and uni- versities have played important roles. Under the school - running conditions that cannot compare with those of the state -run colleges and universities, the reason why the civilian -run ones can gradually develop and get strong, no doubt, is owing to the charm of their presidents. The neither friendship nor aloof relation between the presidents of civilian- run colleges and universities and the government embodies the struggle and cooperatives relation between the free intelligentsia and the government. With the continuous development of the time, it will be a kind of tendency for the development of Chinese civilian - run higher education that the civilian - run colleges are finally admitted and subsidized by the government.
