燕大輓歌──1948-1952年一所美國教會大學的「新生」與幻滅

Elegy for Yenching University: The''Rebirth''and Disillusionment of an American Missionary University, 1948-1952

還在中共全面奪權之前，西方在中國辦有教會大學的基督教團體就已經在做撤出中國的打算了，但中共初期的溫和政策仍舊讓許多基督徒心生幻想。1950年下半年因人事權衝突和中美為朝鮮開戰，輔仁大學和燕京大學先後被中共新政府接管。隨之而來的「思想改造」、「忠誠老實」和「組織清理」等政治運動，則為徹底取消教會大學，消除西方影響，和按照蘇聯模式重建中國的高等教育體制，開闢了道路。本文著重考察了處此背景下的燕京大學是如何被送進歷史博物館的。

Before the Chinese Communist Party fully seized power, Western Christian groups with missionary universities in China were already planning to withdraw from China, but the moderate policy of the CCP in the early days of its entry into the cities left many Christians with some illusions. In the second half of 1950, due to the conflict of personnel rights and the war between China and the United States over North Korea, Fu Jen Catholic University and Yenching University were successively taken over by the new Chinese government. The ensuing political movements such as ''thought reform,'' ''profession of loyalty,'' and ''organizational clean-up'' opened the way for the complete abolition of church universities, the elimination of Western influence, and the reconstruction of China's higher education system according to the Soviet model. This article focuses on how Yenching University was thrown into the dustbin of history in this context.
