SOOCHOW UNIVERSITY A Historical Sketch - Soochow University was established in the City of Soochow in Kiangsu Province in November, 1900. First classes were held in March, 1901. The university received a charter from the State of Tennessee in the United States of America. The new university gained resources and personnel from several institutions which had been founded and were being operated by missionaries of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. These institutions were: Tsung Yung Yuan .Shu Yuan, later Buffingtonlnstitute of Soochow, the Anglo- Chinese' College of Shanghai, and the Kung Hang School of Soochow. Soochow Universitys first college was a College of Arts and Sciences. For a time the university operated a medical school and a school of theology, but these proved unnecessary when colleges of medicine and theology were established by American protestant groups in Nanking. The Law School of Soochow University was organized September 3, 1915. It metin a building of the Second Middle School in Quinsan Road, Shanghai. Charles W. Rankin, an American lawyer and a teacher of V political science, was the first dean of the law school. He had become a member of the faculty in Soochow in 1912. In 1915, the first year, the Law School had ten lecturers and fewer than ten students. The faculty were well-equipped lawyers and judges of the American, British, and International courts in Shanghai. In 1918 the LL.B. degree was conferred upon the first graduating class of seven. The la w School was known as the Comparative Law School of China. Many of its graduates went to the' United States and earned doctorates in jurisprudence at leading universities. P The college in Soochow grew uninterruptedly with strong work in the natural sciences. New buildings and'a new power plant were built with funds mostly from the southern part of the United States. - After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937, Soochow teachers and students were scattered. Many made their way into the Interna- tional Settlement in Shanghai. The Japanese still respected the neutrality of this area. Various departments of the university operated here sub- rosa with some degree of co-operation. The Comparative Law School was opened again. This name had previously been used only in the English languageg now it was translated into Mandarin and the new Mandarin title became the name of the school. This device helped in escaping the notice of the Japanese and their collaborators. - The dean of the Law School and many of its students and staff had fled to Chungking in Szechuan Province. Here a site was prepared and instructior continued for the duration of the war. After the Japanese surrender, all units of Soochow University got back home and resumed their norm zl functioning under a revived and enlzrged Board of Trustees. A commencement was held June 23, 1946, in the Metropole Theater, Shanghai Four h.undred fifty-eight degrees were conferred as follows: B.A., 1573 B.S., 88Q, LL.B. 213. Some years earlier Soochow University had become one of thirteen receiving 'benefits and promotional assistance from the United Board for Christian Colleges in China, UBCCC. This organization, in 1968, is known as the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia, UBCHEA, and Soochow, in Taipei, Taiwan, is an associate member. ' The Communist rebellion of 1949 brought a temporary end to Soochow University as to all other Christian institutions in mainland China except' those operated by local congregations.-The Soochow campus is, reportedly, now occupied by 'iThe South Kiangsu College of Education. In 1951 Soochow was reactivated in Taipei, the capital of the Republic of China, in rented quarters at No. 15 Hankow Street, Sect. 1, in the midtown business district. It became an unregistered school known as the Soochow preparatory -School. In 1954 this school was reorganized as the Soochow University Law College thanks to the active interest of many alumni lawyers in Taipei and other Taiwan cities who had fled the mainland and were resuming their practice and their old lives of usefulness and influence. ,A constitution was drawn up for Soochow University and submitted by its Board of Trustees to the Ministry of Education. This constitution was eventually approved by the lvfinistry.
