孫克寬先生（1905-1993）為孫立人將軍姪子，早年學法。壯年時，因緣 際會，出入公職，並熟諳古典詩詞。來台以後，隱於教職。1955 年東海大學 創立，因戴君仁之邀，前來擔任詩選等課程。與同儕徐復觀、戴君仁、彭醇 士、孔德成為莫逆，與同鄉王斌、詩友周棄子等人折節相從，與台籍民主人 士如葉榮鐘、林培英等人義氣相挺。敢於批評政壇、學界，對於學生晚輩則 鼓勵有加。1972 年退休，前往加拿大，仍研究不輟。他的研究著重在元代史、宋元道教、詩學三個範疇，同時投入古典詩詞 創作與新式散文寫。本文研究重點，在於勾稽孫克寬先生隱晦不言的生平往事，建構孫先生 的生命史、學術研究史。也藉由考察孫先生及其交往的學者友人，呈顯光復 以來台灣大學教育的開拓，以及古典詩壇的盛況，也間接展現東海大學中文 系早期在古典詩詞教學的努力。

Sun K’e-kuan (孫克寬, 1905-1993), nephew of General Sun Li-jen (孫立人), studied law during his early age of life, and then entered public services in his mid-age. He was well-trained in classical learning and poetry, and devoted himself to college teaching after coming to Taiwan. When Tunghai University was established in 1955, he was invited to teach classical poetry by Professor Tai Chun-jen (戴君仁). Mr. Sun then became good friends with his colleagues such as Hsu Fu-kuan, Tai Chun-jen, Peng Ch’un-shih, Kung Te-ch’eng (徐復觀、戴君仁、彭醇士、孔德成), his townsmen Wang Pin (王斌), and poet Chou Ch’i-tsi (周棄子). He also supported his Taiwanese friends Yeh Jung-chung, Lin P’ei-ying (葉榮 鐘、林培英), who devoted themselves to the cause of democratization of Taiwan. Professor Sun dared to criticize the politics and academia at the time; however, he encouraged his students and latecomers without any reservation. He retired from Tunghai University in 1972 and stayed in Canada without giving up his studies.Professor Sun’s research areas are centered on Yuan history, Sung-Yuan Taoism, and classical poetry. He also composes classical poetry and is a well-known prose writer as well.This paper is focused on some hidden, untold stories and past events of Professor Sun, so as to constructing his life history and his academic achievements. In the meantime, this paper will also look into the development of university education of Taiwan since the recovery from Japanese occupation, the flourishing of classical poetry writing in his time, and the education of classical poetry in the Chinese Literature Department of Tunghai University.
