Jiang Tingdian went to Nankai to teach at the age of 29, and the papers published within six years had a great response in the academic circles, and he was a rising star. At that time, Luo Jialun was in charge of Tsinghua and was preparing to build a "liberal arts aircraft carrier" to compete with Peking University. The so-called "aircraft carrier" is nothing more than a wide range of famous teachers to form a scale advantage, and the leader is becoming more and more important. Looking at The country, Luo Jialun decided that Jiang Tingdi, who was only 35 years old, was worthy of this task, so he personally went to the south to dig the foot of the wall. Jiang Tingdian did a good job in Nankai, did not want to leave Tianjin, helpless Luo Jialun "Lai Gong" first-class, sat and did not leave, stayed up all night. Jiang Tingdian finally refused and agreed to go to Tsinghua to teach.
Later, Luo Jialun did not hesitate to blame the highly respected Chinese historian and his mentor Zhu Xizu, and gave up the post of department head to Jiang Tingdi, who had just arrived. Jiang Tingdian also lived up to the heavy trust, and worked hard in the recruitment of talents, and compiled a group of outstanding scholars, making the Tsinghua History Department a first-class academic department in The Sea.
If Jiang Tingdian was "dragged to Tsinghua by raw pulling", Xiao Gongquan's transfer to Northeastern University would be a two-phase wish. When he first came to Nankai, Xiao Gongquan felt quite comfortable, and enjoyed the pleasure of making friends after studying. He and a few colleagues transformed the school's Room 10 of Baishu Village into a faculty club, and after dinner, everyone went there to drink coffee, chat, play games, play for an hour or so, and return home with fun.
However, within three years, contradictions ensued. First of all, the teaching task was too heavy, and then the school was slightly unfair in the salary increase incident, some professors were cold, and Xiao Gongquan retreated. It just so happened that Northeastern University came to Tianjin to hire professors, Xiao Gongquan was among the "dug-ups", and he also had the meaning of "going outside the Guanxi", so he hit it off. It's just that Northeastern University is too yamen, Xiao Gongquan can't stand it, and a year later he took over the olive branch thrown by Yenching University.
There are also "retreat" types. When Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin were teaching at Northeastern University, the honorary president was Zhang Xueliang, a young marshal. When Zhang Xueliang saw Lin Huiyin, he immediately admired her and instructed his subordinates to greet her and ask her to be a tutor. The two belonged to different worlds, and they were the dishes of the young marshal who were naturally not the goddess of the Republic of China, and Lin Hui refused because of his gentle words. At the end of the semester, Lin Huiyin immediately left the northeast with her husband and was poached by the Peking China Construction Society.
Colleges and universities naturally hire professors to teach and educate people and prosper academics, but colleges and universities are also rivers and lakes, with many factions and disputes, and sometimes leaders recruit people with some considerations to balance the forces in the university.
In the early years of the Republic of China, the Tongcheng faction of Peking University was in control for a while. In order to combat this force, Peking University President He Yishi recruited Zhu Xizu from the Ministry of Education, and then Zhu Xizu took advantage of the friendship of the same door to successively hire Shen Jianshi, Qian Xuantong, and Huang Kan to Peking University, and zhangmen disciples gathered to sweep away the influence of the Tongcheng sect. After the May Fourth Movement, the new cultural people represented by Hu Shi gradually became large-scale and showed the momentum of "taking the chapter and replacing them", and Zhu Xizu's situation was extremely embarrassing. At the end of 1930, the students of the History Department of Peking University set off a wave of demands for Zhu Xizu's resignation, and he was forced to resign.
Frustrated, Zhu Xizu's former student and head of the Institute of History and Language of the Academia Sinica reached out to help and invited him to join the Institute of History and Language as a full-time researcher, on the condition that he must completely disassociate himself from Peking University, but Zhu Xizu still had feelings for Peking University, so he retained the false title of a tutor of the Chinese Studies Department of peking university research institute. Fu Sinian did not spare, saying that Zhu Xizu had not fulfilled his previous promise and turning him into a special researcher, which was equivalent to announcing that Zhu Xizu was not an official member of the Institute of Historical Languages. At this time, Zhu Xizu did not resume his post at Peking University, did not go to Tsinghua University and Fu Jen University for a part-time job, and did not receive a formal letter of appointment from the Institute of History and Language, which was considered to be a layoff. In fact, Fu Sinian's original intention of digging up Zhu Xizu was to completely eliminate the influence of Zhangmen disciples in the liberal arts department of Peking University, how could he tolerate him leaving a trace of contact with Peking University?
