战时国立西北联大学科变化发展及其战略意义

Evolution of Disciplines of National Northwest Associated University During Wartime and Its Strategic Significance

“七七事变”后,为使我国高等教育事业不致中断,国民政府作出了高校内迁的战略抉择,国立西北联合大学等战时联立高校应运而生。国立西北联大自联立到分设,在沿袭国立北平大学、国立北平师范大学以及国立北洋工学院等高校原有学科资源的基础上,学科覆盖范围不断扩大,形成了文、理、法、商、工、农、医、教育等完整的学科体系。站在历史的高度,国立西北联大迁转组建及分校设立过程中学科体系结构的变化发展具有重大的战略意义:不仅为战时西北地区的开发与建设提供了学科支撑,而且为战后西北地区留下了完整的高等教育学科体系,同时为新中国的经济社会发展培养了一批专业人才。

After the“July 7th Incident,”when the Second Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1937,in order to keep China’s higher education from being interrupted,the National Government of the Republic of China made a strategic decision to relocate universities inland.The National Northwest Associated University(NNAU)and other wartime joint universities were established.On the basis of inheriting the original discipline resources of universities such as National Peking University,National Peking Normal University,and National Beiyang Institute of Technology,NNAU continuously expanded the coverage of its disciplines,building up a complete discipline system of liberal arts,science,law,business,engineering,agriculture,medicine and education.From a historical perspective,evolution of the structure of the discipline system during NNAU relocation and the re-organization of the specialized academic institutions involved has great strategic significance.It not only provided discipline support for the development and construction of Northwest China during the war,but also left a complete discipline system of higher education for Northwest China after the war,and at the same time cultivated a galaxy of professionals for the social development of the PRC.
