Dec 13, 2021
Peking University, December 13, 2021: “Each generation inherits the academic research of the generation
before. The academic development of PKU requires not just visionary
planning, but also the ability to learn from its history and reflect
through retrospection.” — On November 29, as the culmination of over
half a year of meticulous preparation, the “A Hundred Years Ago — PKU
Academic Exhibition Series” was launched.
Poster of exhibition
The exhibition is divided into six main themes: “Famous Scholars”,
“Academic Societies”, “Academic Lectures”, “International Academic
Exchanges”, “Academic Support” and “Academic Publishing”. It provides a
bird’s-eye view of PKU’s academic environment back in 1921. It draws
upon the vast pool of academic literature resources, ranging from books,
newspapers and periodicals to old photographs of the school during the
Republic of China period (1912-1949). The exhibition is intended to
encapsulate the unique charm of PKU’s academic history and inspire our
PKUers to carry this rich academic tradition towards greater heights.
School leaders visiting the exhibition
Looking back at the past hundred years, PKU has always seen it as our
responsibility to lead academic development in the country. It has
developed unique and rich academic traditions, attracted academic
experts from all over the world, and has been at the forefront of
various academic frontiers. This exhibition has also promoted the
discovery and sorting of modern academic literature on PKU’s history and
serve as a good source of reference for the future academic development
of PKU.
The exhibition will run until December 31. It is held at the exhibition
hall in the fourth floor of the PKU Library East Building.
