Recent years have seen considerable research on private universities during the republican period that makes full use of historical materials such as archives, newspapers and periodicals; focuses on case studies; and discusses such topics internal systems, official registration, funding, and learning trends. However, there is a lack of research on micro-individual history covering such topics. The accounts of Peiping National University in The Diary of Huang Zunsan not only vividly show the difficult process of running a private university experienced by the administrator-scholar Huang Zunsan, but also reflect the difficulties faced by private universities under the early Nanjing government, especially the special situation of private universities in the Peiping region that Guomindang officials could not enter. Although Peiping National University had a Guomindang tradition and its leader was a revolutionary veteran, it was run independently from the Guomindang. Peiping National University relied on military and political figures of all sides and dealt with the forces of all sides. Due to different regional, military, political, and economic environments, Peiping National University—situated at the margins of the Guomindang party-state--differed in many respects from private universities in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and other places in the Guomindang's ruling core area. |
