From Tengchow To Tsinan,the Changes Of Campus Space Of Cheeloo University And Its Impact

The change of campus space is a remarkable feature in the early history of Cheeloo University.Before the completion of the campus of Cheeloo University in Tsinan in 1924,the three schools that formed the university experienced three stages,that are independent development before the joint venture,scattered schools before educational union,and early educational union.The campus moved from the remote Tengchow to Weihsien,and then to Tsinan,which is the more strategic provincial capital.As the university growed stronger,the missions that were participating in the joint also continued to grow.As to realize the fundamental goal of developing Christian education,they increased manpower and capital continuously,and ultimately promoted the development of Cheeloo University,making it a famous university with distinctive features.The education union has promoted the relocation and consolidation of schools.In 1904,the relocation of the cultural and cultural halls in Weihsien provided material security for the school to strengthen teachers and expand enrollment.In 1917,the relocation of the school of Art and Science and theological school to Tsinan realized the same-site teaching.The new campus adopted professional design planning,created ample teaching space and suitable religious atmosphere and formed the unique campus form of Cheeloo University.However,the educational union sacrificed the independence of the American Presbyterian Mission and the Baptist Missionary Society for the management of the school.After the educational union,the contradiction between the meeting and the meeting not only failed to resolve,but also because the integration of the management team became more and more intense.The construction of the new campus is full of the game of forces of all parties,and the school's management power is also alternated between the American Presbyterian Mission and the Baptist Missionary Society.In addition to the infighting between the meetings,the contrast between the strengths of the three colleges also changed with the changes in the campus space.During the period of scattered education,the school of Art and Science had the greatest impact and brought good reputation to the university.After the combination of the University of Tsinan,the development of various disciplines gradually became unbalanced.The development of the school of Art and Science and theological school once fell into sluggishness,while the medical school made rapid progress and thrived with the support of the local government,gentry and the China Medical Board of the Rockefeller Foundation.Changes in the college's power have affected the competition for university management rights.In 1920,the president's post-disaster medical school occupied a dominant position in school management.Although the difference meeting was intended to strengthen the construction of the school of Art and Science and the Theological school,the decline trend of the two colleges was a foregone conclusion.Eventually Cheeloo University did not crowd into the ranks of first-class church universities,which was not expected to the participation in the joint meeting.The factors that cause the lack of development momentum of Cheeloo University must be complex and comprehensive,but it is not difficult to find from the history of the Tengchow College to the growth of Cheeloo University.It is precisely because of the constant changes in its campus space that it brings about a decisive variable in the school-running factors and ultimately influences and then impacted The development track of Cheeloo University.
