论国立云南大学西南文化研究室的创建

On the Foundation of the Southwest Culture Research Institution in National Yunnan University

全面抗战爆发后,昆明专家学者云集,西南史地受到较多关注。基于此,热衷学术的国立云南大学校长熊庆来遂在云大筹设西南文化研究室。在该室的创建过程中,熊庆来对方国瑜最为倚重,该室尚未成立即聘方国瑜为兼任主任。该室成立后,方国瑜出任主任,按规定严格聘请省内外知名学者出任研究人员,为该室成为西南民族历史文化研究中心奠定了基础。

After the outbreak of nation-wide Anti-Japanese war, experts and scholars gathered in Kunming and history and geography of Southwest China attracted more attention. Therefore, the president of National Yunnan University, Xiong Qing-lai, decided to found the Southwest Culture Research Institution in National Yunnan University. Fang Guo-yu played important role during the foundation of the Southwest Culture Research Institution in National Yunnan University. As the director, Professor Fang invited many famous scholars from Yunnan and other provinces to join, which lays a good foundation for the institution＇s study center position of nationality, history and culture of the southwest.
