SUMMARY:Modern Chinese Higher Education in a Global Perspective
DESCRIPTION:\n	A Symposium on Modern Chinese Higher Education in a Global P
 erspective & the 150th Anniversary of Tengchow College (登州文会馆)\n
 \n	Sponsored by Shandong University and the Harvard-Yenching Institute\n\n
 \n	Background: The historical origin of the present Shandong University h
 as a close tie with Tengchow College （文会馆）. In Autumn of 1864\, 
 the American Presbyterian missionaries Calvin Mateer and his wife establis
 hed a 6-year boarding school in Tengchow\, Shandong (now called Penglai蓬
 莱)\, which later developed into a 12-year high school in 1873.  It was 
 renamed 文会馆 in Chinese in January 1877 and in 1884 it was approved a
 nd recognized as a college by its mission board and renamed itself as “T
 engchow College”. In 1904\, Tengchow College moved to Weixian\, Shandong
  and became Shantung Union College (Science and Arts) of Shantung Protesta
 nt University with the merger of Guang De Shu Yuan (广德书院) which ha
 d been established by the English Baptist Mission. In 1917\, it moved agai
 n to Jinan and developed into the well-known Cheeloo University(齐鲁大
 学）\, one of the 16 Christian universities in China in 1949 (13 Protest
 ant and 3 Catholic universities respectively).\n\n	In the nationwide adjus
 tment of colleges and departments in 1950\, all the majors of Cheeloo Univ
 ersity were transferred and incorporated into other universities with its 
 Medical College being the main part of Shantung Medical College (Shantung 
 Medical University). In 2001\, Shantung Medical University joined Shandong
  University\, and thus Cheeloo University turned into one of the predecess
 ors of Shandong University and its campus also became a part of the presen
 t Shandong University.\n\n	Prompted and initiated by the historian Prof. Z
 hang Kaiyuan\, the 1st Conference on the History of Chinese Christian Univ
 ersities was held at Central China Normal University in 1989\, and after t
 hat similar conferences and workshops were also held in Chengdu\, Nanjing\
 , Jinan\, Hongkong\, Taiwan\, and the United States and so on\, which cont
 ributed to the in-depth studies of Christian universities and east-west cu
 ltural exchange\, modernization of education\, modernization of China\, so
 cial change and cultural transformation and related subjects\, and as a re
 sult\, an abundance of academic achievements were made and published.\n\n	
 Prof. Elizabeth J. Perry\, Director of Harvard-Yenching Institute\, organi
 zed a workshop on Chinese Christian Universities at Harvard University in 
 June 2013 and put forward the idea that Chinese Christian Universities are
  actually “an experiment of the Globalization of Higher Education”\, w
 hich is a very inspiring idea and provides a new perspective to rethink Ch
 inese Christian colleges. The present symposium is to continue the discuss
 ion under this perspective to explore the historical experience of the cro
 ss-country and cross-cultural educational practice and their successes and
  failures of Chinese Christian universities. It also aims to compare them 
 with the development of Christian universities and modern higher education
  in other Asian countries\, which may provide reference for the internaliz
 ation of higher education of China today.\n\n	Panel Topics:\n\n	\n		Study
