哥伦比亚大学与中国留学生

Columbia University and overseas Chinese students

20世纪上半叶,美国哥伦比亚大学为中国文化教育界培养了大量人才,其中包括一批日后成为中国文教界领袖人物的留学生,如胡适、蒋梦麟、马寅初、陶行知、陈鹤琴等人。在哥大求学时期,中国留学生不仅在学术上得到很大提高,而且在政治见地、哲学观念、思维方式和教育视野等多方面都受到潜移默化的熏陶和影响,并与该校知名教授们建立了融洽而深厚的师生情谊,为归国后的教育改革活动奠定了知识、能力和人事关系的坚实基础。哥伦比亚大学是中国近现代教育家的摇篮,在推动20世纪上半叶中国现代教育发展的过程中发挥了举足轻重的作用。

In the first half of the 20th century,Columbia University has hosted a large number of Chinese learners including Hu Shi,Jiang Menglin,Ma Yinchu,Tao Xingzhi and Chen Heqin,elites in Chinese education and culture.They do not only painstakingly work for academi pursuit,but also acquire political,philosophical,and educational knowledge and way of thinking in Columbia University.In addition to making friends with the well-known scholars there,they build the solid foundation for education reforms in China.
