南开与天津近代城市发展探析

An Analysis of the Development of Nankai University and Tianjin Modern Cities

南开大学在天津近代城市发展中发挥了重要作用,经历了从传统到现代\从洋货化到土货化等转折。1924年南开大学的罢课风潮为南开的“土货化”拉开了序幕。伴随着“知中国”“服务中国”等办学理念的逐步确立,南开大学建立了经济研究所和应用化学研究所,开设了实践类的课程——社会调查,深入天津社会进行实地调查与研究。不仅如此,南开先贤还探讨了更深层的、更适合天津城市和中国社会发展的问题,即通过“人的现代化”实现“城市现代化”。

Nankai University has played an important role in the modern urban development of Tianjin,and experienced a transition from tradition to modernity,from westernization to localism.In 1924,the strike of Nankai University was the prelude to the localization of Nankai.With the gradual establishment of the school-running concepts of“Knowing China”and“Serving China”,Nankai University has set up the institute of economics and the institute of applied chemistry,and opened the practical courses—social investigation,conducting field investigation and research in Tianjin society.Moreover,the sages of Nankai also discussed a deeper problem,which is more suitable for the development of Tianjin city and Chinese society,namely the realization of“urban modernization”through“human modernization”.
