千里追缴 一本不能少——京师大学堂催促师范馆毕业生归还图书事例

Every Book Checked out Should Be Returned Back

1907年,京师大学堂对刚刚毕业离校的师范馆第一届毕业生借而未还的图书进行千里追缴,确保一本也不能少。实际上,第一届毕业生作为国家指派的第一批新式教员,面临无书报可看,无参考可借,筚路蓝缕之时,不得不暂时依仗母校丰富的馆藏来帮助自己度过难关,以期顺利完成义务服务,有所作为。

In 1907, over one hundred students graduated from the Teacher＇s Training Faculty of the Capital University. They left the university without returning books that they borrowed. The chief inspector of the University asked the provinces＇ inspector to help getting the books back to make sure that no one book was lost. In fact, the graduates borrowed and kept the books in order to help themselves to adapt the new jobs and pursue achievement.
