Hu shi
Once Hu Shizhi's friends were having dinner at Hu's house, Xu Zhimo rushed in like a whirlwind, holding a thick hardcover book, which was a pornographic book in German, with pictures and texts, and everyone competed to see it. Hu Shizhi said: "This kind of thing, including the paintings of Qiqi and Qiu Shizhou, is unobstructed and not interesting enough. I had seen a painting and couldn't remember whose handwriting it was, a bed, hanging down from the hibiscus tent, a pair of men's shoes on the ground, a pair of red embroidered shoes, and a cat crouching in front of the bed looking up at the hook. It's a bit subtle. ”
Director Zheng and Fu
When he taught at southwest United University, Fu Sinian served as the director of the Institute of Liberal Arts of Peking University, and Zheng Tianting served as deputy director. When someone comes to visit, the reception staff of the Institute of Liberal Arts of Peking University always asks first: "Are you looking for Director Fu or Director Zheng?" Director Fu is the director and Director Zheng is the deputy director. "Visiting guests are always confused by the questions.
Liang Qichao
At the beginning of November 1914, Liang Qichao made a speech entitled "Gentleman" in Tsinghua, quoting from the "I Ching" "Tianxingjian, a gentleman with self-improvement" and "the terrain is Kun, a gentleman is loaded with virtue" to encourage everyone, hoping that Tsinghua students can "revere virtue and study, be a true gentleman, and take on a great responsibility at another day, which is enough to turn the tide of falling down and be the mainstay of the mainstream".
Chen Yinke
Liang Qichao recommended Mr. Chen Yinke as the tutor of Tsinghua Guoguo College, and the president Cao Yunxiang said: "Which country is he a doctor?" Liang replied, "He is not a bachelor, nor is he a doctor." Cao asked, "Does he have any writings?" Liang replied, "There are no works either." Cao said, "Neither a doctor nor a writer, this is difficult!" Mr. Liang was angry and said: "I liang mou also do not have a doctorate, the works are considered to be equivalent, but in total it is not as valuable as Mr. Chen Liao Liao's hundreds of words." Then Mr. Liang put forward the praise of Mr. Chen Yinke by several professors from the University of Berlin and the University of Paris. Cao Yi listened, since foreigners are all respected, please.
Every time Chen Yinke gave a lecture, he said in the beginning: "I don't talk about what my predecessors have said; I don't talk about what my neighbors have said; I don't talk about what I have spoken about myself." Now I'm only going to talk about what no one has ever said. ”
Jiang Liangfu
Jiang Liangfu recalled that tsinghua university in the Republic of China period had this record: "In the environment of Tsinghua, if you want to speak improper words, it is impossible to find someone to say dirty words. Mr. and Mr., students with Mr., classmates and classmates, when they meet, they all talk about it, there is an article in a magazine, have you read it? If you have seen two people to discuss, such as one party has not read, after reading it, it is said that there is no benefit to this article, and it is recommended that the other party read it. ”
Cai Yuanpei
When Cai Yuanpei was the chief of education in the Republic of China, Fan Yuanlian was the vice president, and their methods of running education were opposite. Fan said: "If the primary school is not run well, how can there be a good middle school?" Middle school is not running well? How can there be a good university? So our first step is to straighten out the elementary school first. Cai Yuanpei said: "Without a good university, where do the middle school teachers come from?" If there is no good middle school, where will the primary school teachers come from? So our first step is to put the university in order first. ”
Liang Shuming
Cai Yuanpei saw an article by Liang Shuming and immediately decided to hire him as a chair on Indian philosophy at Peking University, and Liang Shuming resigned because he did not know anything about Indian philosophy. Cai said: "You say you can't teach Indian philosophy, so do you know who can teach Indian philosophy?" He added, "Nor have we found anyone who can really teach Indian philosophy." Horizontal and vertical are similar to each other, or you come! Don't you love philosophy? When I come to Peking University this time, I am bound to gather many friends who love philosophy to study together and interact with each other; why don't you come? You don't want to be a teacher to teach people, you should come to cooperate in research, to learn well. ”
In 1924, Liang Shuming left Peking University, and someone asked him why, he said: "Because I felt that the education at that time was not right, Mr. Liang did not care about the students." He believed that the gentleman should be friends with young people. The so-called friend refers to helping them walk; the so-called walking refers to letting a person's entire life, including skill knowledge, move forward. "Education should focus on a person's whole life, and lead him on the road of life, and the physical liveliness and psychological simplicity are the most important."
Tao Menghe
Peking University initially did not admit female students, during the May Fourth period, many female students asked to enroll in Peking University, Cai Yuanpei publicly expressed support, but soon Cai Yuanpei temporarily left Peking University. In 1920, Acting Liberal Arts Dean Tao Menghe allowed 9 girls to enter the school, causing social discussion and criticism from the Ministry of Education, and even President Xu Shichang came forward to warn the Peking University authorities that national schools should maintain "high moral standards."
However, at that time, there was no law explicitly prohibiting co-educational schools, and Cai Yuanpei, who had already returned to Peking University, based on this, without asking for permission from the government, officially approved the registration of the 9 female students as official students of Peking University. But in fact, Lingnan University in Guangzhou, a joint venture between American and Chinese Christians, began to merge men and women as early as 1918.
Gu Hongming
When Gu Hongming first came to teach at Peking University, the students couldn't help but laugh when they saw him dragging a long braid behind his head. He, on the other hand, walked silently to the podium, looked at the students below, and said slowly and logically: "You laugh at me, it is nothing more than because of my braids, my braids are tangible and can be cut." However, the braids in the heads of your classmates are not so easy to cut. The words silenced the students. After that, no one dared to laugh at him in class.
Jiang Menglin
Jiang Menglin said: "I have been engaged in universities for decades, and after many storms, I have discovered a law: There are three factions in a university, one is the president, one is the professor, and the other is the student. ”
Qian Mu
In 1930, when Qian Mu went to teach at Yenching University, the president, StuArt Leiden, asked him what his impression of Yenchingda was, and he replied: "At first, I heard that Yenchingda was the most Chinese university in China, and I was particularly yearning for it. I came to Yanda to take a look, only to find that this was not the case. As soon as you enter the school gate, you will see the M building and the S building, is this Sinicization? I hope to change all the buildings in Yanda to Chinese names. ”
Soon, Yanda held a special meeting and decided to change the m building to Mu Lou, S Lou to Shi Lou, shi de lou to Bei Gong Lou (1849-1919), Chinese name has been translated as Beshide or Bei Shifu, this building name is Shi De or Bei Gong are all in honor of this person, but whether it was changed by Qian Mu is still difficult to confirm, and other buildings are all given Chinese names. Qian Mu also named a lake on campus "Unnamed Lake".

He picked up the chalk and crossed the formulas and concepts that Mr. Wang had written on the blackboard, while explaining what was wrong. Spoke for about forty minutes in one breath. Wang Zhuxi had been awkwardly standing aside. The school leaders talked to Shu Xingbei for this reason, and Shu Xingbei said: In the past, universities did this.
Jiang Baili
On the first day of his inauguration as principal of the Baoding Military Academy, Jiang Baili said to all the students: "I have been ordered to take charge of this school this time, and I must make this school the most complete military academy, so that all the princes present here will become the best officers, and they will be able to train the most elite army in the future." I must have devoted myself to this task and put into practice. If you can't do it, when you commit suicide to thank the world. Later, because the school was owed by the government, he was deeply ashamed of the students, so he wrote a suicide note, really committed suicide in public, the bullet passed through the chest, fortunately did not die.
Lin Yutang

He distributed peanuts to students to enjoy, and the class became a teahouse. Mr. Lin began to give lectures, speaking a concise and fluent English, and talked about his way of eating peanuts. Then, he turned his words around and said, "Peanut rice is also called long-lived fruit." On the first day of class, please eat my elixir. I wish you eternal life! In the future, I will not name names in class, and I hope that all the kings will eat the fruit of eternal life and have more eternal life. The students laughed.
Smell a lot

According to the student's recollection, he walked into the classroom in a black robe, first took out a cigarette box and smiled at the student and asked, "Which one sucks?" The students laughed but did not answer, he lit one himself, the smoke was swirling under the electric light, and the long voice read a sentence: "Drinking bitterly, familiar with "Leaving the Troubles", you have to be a real celebrity!" "That's when the lecture begins.
Shen Congwen
Shen Congwen said of Mr. Hu Shi, the former dean of the Faculty of Letters at Peking University: "Mr. Shizhi's greatest attempt was not his new poem "Attempt Collection". He hired me, an unknown man who had never been to school, to teach at the university, which was his boldest attempt! ”

Ji
New students from Peking University are admitted. A freshman came to register with a very large package, and when he saw an old man on the side of the road, he called him over and said, "Old man, show me the bag, I'll sign up."

Sorry, just by virtue of Peking University's salary is not worth talking about, to listen, restaurant please!" He was very conceited about his learning, and when discussing "elementary school" with people, if there were people who disagreed, he often held a sword and a staff in anger. However, he has "three fears", that is, one is afraid of soldiers, two is afraid of dogs, and three are afraid of thunder, of which he is afraid of thunder and even afraid of "crouching under the table".
Liang Shiqiu
