As I know, all the students in this class are freshmen or sophomore. That is to say, you have been studying in Sun Y at-sen University at least one year. Some are even two years. Despite this, I am sure that many of you still know little about our school, which we may regard as our home for four years. For myself, I was the same as you before I took the course History of SYSU. I knew a lot of information about our school from this course, which I think is very necessary for us as one member of this excellent university. So I want to share part of this for all of you today, including the origin of SYSU, a brief introduction of universities that named after Sun Y at-sen in history and the first president of SYSU--Zoulu. In order to get more information and details, I also search the internet and read some literature from the school library. Y ou know, as a student of SYSY, you really should be proud of yourself.Now, how many of you know the original name of SYSU? When was it established?In 1924, Sun Y at-sen founded two schools, one was Ground Force Military Academy (黄埔军校)and the other was Guangdong University. On February 6th, Sun Y at-sen send an order to establish Guangdong University. On June 9th, National Higher Normal College (广东高等师范学校), Kwangtung Provincial Law College (广东公立法科大学) and Provincial Agricultural Technical School (广东公立农业专门学校) was combined into a new university—national Guangdong university. And its first principal is Zhou Lu. In 1926, the government decreed to change its name to Sun Y at-sen University to commemorate, inherit, and develop the great revolutionary spirit of Dr. Sun Y at-sen after his death. A year later, the government of republic issued an order that this National Sun Y at-sen University is the NO.1 National Sun Y at-sen University in China.Talking about National Sun Y at-sen University, do you know that there were many universities that named after Sun Y at-sen in the history? But only five were admitted by the government.The first was exactly our school which was established in1924 as I told you. The other four were all founded in 1927. The NO.2 National Sun Y at-sen University was also called National Wuchang Sun Y at-sen University. However, it was soon ordered to dissolve by The National party reactionary police. On the basis of it, a new university was built, which we now know as Wuhan University. The NO.3 National Sun Y at-sen University only exited only about one year and then it changed its name into Zhejiang University. The predecessor of NO.4 National Sun Y at-sen University was National Southeast University. It is now one of the top universities in China---Nanjing University. The name of NO.5 Sun Yat-sen University has been changed for many times, and now it is called Henan University. Y ou see, our school is the first but also the only one left that is named after the great revolutionary Sun Y at-sen, the founder of the Republic of China.In addition to Sun Y at-sen, there is another person we should remember when we think of those who have made great contribution to our school. He is Zoulu, the first president of Sun Y at-sen University.Mr. Zoulu was actually appointed as SYSU’s president twice, and the first time was in 1924. He then established a new university which was totally different fromthe old teaching system. It was neither an official organization that provided the government with intelligent support nor a preparatory school for oversea study. Instead, it was a modern university that met the need of Chinese revolution at that time.In February 1932, Mr. Zou became the President of the National Sun Yat-sen University for the second time. He started to work out a plan for constructing the new campus at Shipai. He aimed at building a campus “not only advanced in China, but also in every parts of the world.” Most of the funding for the construction was collected not easily. Mr. Zou noted in his memoirs, “Words can’t tell the plight at that time. I told my students that I would do anything to raise funds for the new campus except kowtowing. This is no joking remark. This is just w hat happened”.The new Shipai Campus had great impacts on the develop of National SunYat-sen University. It was well laid out with each division located at its specific area. This left ample space for future development. Nowadays, the old buildings of Shipai campus are listed as one of the Cultural Relics of Guangzhou.Today I have just informed you a little about SYSU, like its origin, its first president and something else. But I assure that there are much more you should know as a student of SYSU. And now I want to end my speech with the inscription of our school "Study extensively; Enquire accurately; Reflect carefully; Discriminate clearly; Practise earnestly". Thank you.。
