Tsinghua University, located in the northwestern suburbs of
Beijing, was established in 1911 on the site of "Qing Hua Yuan"——a former royal
garden of the Qing Dynasty. Funded with part of the "Boxer Indemnity," it was at
first a preparatory school called "Tsinghua Xuetang" for those students who were
sent by the government to study in the United States. On April
29, 1911, Tsinghua Xuetang began its first term, and from then on the last
Sunday of April was set as the school’s anniversary. The name was changed to
"Tsinghua School" after the 1911 Revolution. In 1925, a
university section was established, offering a four-year program for students.
In 1928, its name was changed to "National Tsinghua University," and in the
autumn of 1929 a graduate school was set up. Following the
outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in 1937, Tsinghua
University, Peking University and Nankai University merged to form the Southwest
Associated University in Kunming. After the war, Tsinghua University moved back
to the original campus in Beijing and resumed operation at its present
location. Which war broke in 1937
