Soochow University was founded in 1901, which existed for more than 50 years. During this time, the number of the student academic society in Soochow University was large, and many students take an active part in it. The society played a positive role in enriching and deepening the classroom teaching, as well as promoting the academic research. With the change of social situation, especially during the period of Liberation War in China, the society’s political function was strengthened. The university tried to make the society as a discipline tool. We can learn a lot from the student academic society in Soochow University. First, the society is good for talent development.
