Nanjing University is one of China's key comprehensive universities and it functions directly under the Ministry of Education. It is located in the ancient capital of six dynasties -- Nanjing. The University dates back to 1902 when Sanjiang Normal School was founded, and then evolved as Liangjiang Normal School, Nanjing Higher Normal School, National Southeast University, the Fourth Zhongshan University, and National Central University. On August 8, 1949, the National Central University was renamed National Nanjing University. In October 1950, as required by the Ministry of Education, the name was changed to Nanjing University. In 1952, when a nationwide readjustment of universities took place, some schools, such as the School of Engineering and the School of Agriculture, were separated from the University; meanwhile, the University merged with the School of Liberal Arts and the School of Sciences of the University of Nanking, which was founded in 1888. The new university remained Nanjing University and the campus of Nanjing University moved from Sipailou to Gulou.
Today, Nanjing University consists of two campuses, one in Gulou and the other in Pukou with a total area of more than 3,600 mu (nearly 600 acres). It is one of the top universities in China, with beautiful campuses and modern teaching and research facilities. Its current President is Professor Jiang Shusheng, a physicist. The University celebrates its anniversary on May 20 of each year.
Nanjing University's development has always been closely bound with the destiny of the Chinese nation and linked to her ever changing society. Nanjing Higher Normal University, the predecessor of Nanjing University, played a leading role in the area of Nanjing when the Youth Democratic Movement was held on May 4, 1919. In the early 1920s, it was in this university that a group of Chinese communist forerunners introduced the theory of Marxism to the public. The Second National Conference of Chinese Communist Youth League was also held at the University. During the Anti-Japanese War, organizations like the "Natural Sciences Forum" and the "Democracy and Science Forum", headed by Pan Shu, Liang Xi and Jin Baoshan, renowned professors of National Central University, eventually became the democratic party "Jiu San Society." During the Liberation War, teachers and students of National Central University stood at the forefront through out the democratic patriotic movement. On May 20, 1947, students of National Central University initiated an "Anti-Hunger, Anti-Civil War and Anti-Persecution Movement", later known as the "May 20th Patriotic Students Movement." After the National Central University was renamed Nanjing University, the truth-seeking convention was carried forward. In May 1978, one scholar at the Philosophy Department published, in the Guangming Daily, a well-known essay entitled "Practice Is the Sole Criterion for Testing Truth" and thus evoked "a heated discussion on the criterion of truth" that attracted nationwide attention.
In its history of more than 100 years, Nanjing University has cultivated a great number of prominent and learned figures, having thus contributed much to the nation’s revitalization and development. Many famous scientists and scholars, such as Li Ruiqing, Wu Youxun, Zhu Kezhen, Mao Yisheng, Liu Yizheng, Hu Xiaoshi, Tao Xingzhi, Guo Bingwen, Chen Heqin, Tang Yongtong, Ma Yinchu, Li Shutong, Xiong Qinglai, Tong Dizhou, Jin Shanbao, Wen Yiduo, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, Yan Jici, Wu Jianxiong, Li Guoding, Luo Jialun, Gu Yuxiu, Li Fangxun, Wu Mi, Zhu Guangya, Zhao Zhongyao, Pearl S. Buck, Yang Xingfo, Lu Shuxiang, Liang Xi, Dai Anbang, Chen Baichen and Kuang Yaming, have studied or worked here. Of the 23 distinguished scholars recognized by the nation for their pioneering work on the founding of the country’s high-tech system, six are from Nanjing University.
Since China’s reform and opening, Nanjing University has gradually developed multi-disciplinary programs in humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, technological sciences, life sciences, modern engineering and management. At present, Nanjing University has 17 schools with 50 departments. It runs 74 undergraduate programs, 186 master’s programs (with six programs designated by the University itself), seven professional master’s programs; 16 primary disciplines for doctoral degrees, and 122 Ph.D. programs (with six programs designated by the University itself) as well as 18 post-doctoral stations. In addition, the University has 28 national key disciplines, 10 provincial key disciplines, and 6 national key laboratories. It also houses 11 national training bases for the research and teaching personnel in basic sciences and liberal arts, and three bases for humanities and social sciences research appraised by the Chinese Ministry of Education. Among the nearly 2,000 teaching faculty, there are 654 full professors, including 27 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, three academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, four academicians of the Third-World Academy of Sciences, and one academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences. There are two premier scientists for the “National Key Development Program in Basic Research” (Project 973), and also 19 middle-aged and young scholars nationally appraised for remarkable contributions, 70 winners of National Outstanding Youth Fund, 36 specially appointed professors for the nation’s “Cheung Kong Scholars Program,” 29 scholars supported by the “Supporting Plan for New Century’s Outstanding Talents” of the Ministry of Education, four National Renowned Teachers, and 574 Ph.D. supervisors.
With its multi-disciplinary structure and highly qualified faculty, Nanjing University is one of the leaders in educational operations among Chinese institutions of higher learning. According to statistics, from 1992, the number of research papers by Nanjing University on the Science Citation Index (SCI) ranked first among all universities in China’s Mainland for seven years successively. And for eight years in a roll, the number of articles cited by academic circles abroad ranked highest of all Chinese universities in the mainland. In the recent decade, Nanjing University has won over 800 national, ministerial and provincial awards, including over 40 National Awards for Natural Sciences, Scientific Progress and Technological Innovation. Since 2000, the University has won 9 National Second Awards for Natural Science. Since 1994, the number of National Natural Sciences Fund programs and National Social Sciences Fund programs undertaken at Nanjing University has been among the highest of all Chinese universities.
Nanjing University has made remarkable achievements in personnel training. At present, the University has over 41,600 students, including 9,964 Ph.D. and mater’s degree students. With a solid academic foundation and strong potential for career development, the graduates of Nanjing University have been well received by employers in China. In the international academic circles, seven graduates of Nanjing University have won the American President’s Awards. Many attainments and findings from research projects have been named after the graduate students and their supervisors of Nanjing University, such as “Zhou-Gong: Distributing Mutual-Changes Theory” and “Wu: Solidarity Theory.” In the International English Speech Contest held in the UK, students of Nanjing University won two championships. In 1994 and 1995, the students’ debating team of Nanjing University won the national and international championship in debating competitions. And in 1999 Nanjing University was the first comprehensive university endorsed by the Ministry of Education to pass a national evaluation of undergraduate teaching in China.
Nanjing University provides a good environment for teaching and research. Its library contains over 4.29 million volumes, ranking among the top ones of all the universities in China. There are currently 116 institutes of various types, 87 interdisciplinary research centers and some large teaching, research and experiment facilities such as the Analysis Center, the Network and Information Center, and the Educational Technology Center.
Nanjing University is one of the most active universities in China in its international academic exchanges. Since 1979, it has set up links with more than 180 universities and institutions in nearly 30 countries, employed over 1,800 foreign scholars to teach and give lectures, held more than 120 international conferences, and more than 2,500 teachers have been sent aboard to pursue higher degrees and conduct research. In the meantime, more than 6,000 international students have studied at this university. Nobel Prize laureates, such as Professors Chen Ning Yang, Tsung Dao Lee, Ilya Prigogine, Sheldon Glashow and Robert Mandel have been conferred Honorary Doctorates, or Honorary Professorship by the university. A large number of world famous statesmen, scientists and social activists, such as former US President George Bush, former French President Francois Mitterrant, and former Australian Prime Minister Robert Hawk have also visited Nanjing University. In order to learn from international experiences of teaching, research and management, Nanjing University has been exploring international cooperation of various modes and levels. The University jointly founded the Center for Chinese and American Studies with the Johns Hopkins University of the United States, the Sino-German Institute for Law with Gottingen University in Germany, and the Lab of Multi-Media Long Distance Satellite Teaching System with the Japanese Ministry of Tele-Communication. As a successful model of Sino-US educational cooperation, the Center for Chinese and American Studies has received attention and acclamation from the leaders of both countries and has become well known in the academic world. It is regarded as "an ideal place for students to learn western culture without going aboard."
In the new century, Nanjing University is to carry forward its tradition and further its reforms. Through explorations and renovations, we are forging a pattern with Nanjing University’s characteristics with higher level and better achievements. The University is heading towards a comprehensive, research-oriented and internationalized world-class university to contribute itself to the great revitalization of China.
南京大学是中国的一所重点综合性大学，它隶属于教育部。它坐落在六朝古
南京，南京大学始建于1902，其前身为南京师范学堂。后来又发展为两江师范学堂，南京高等师范学院，东南大学，第四中山大学和国立中原大学。在1949年8月8日，有更名为国立南京大学。在1950年10月份，由于由于教育部的要求，又更名为南京大学。在1952年，当时发生了全国性的大学调整，比如一些学校的工程专业和农业转被隔离出去。同时，南京大学合并了始建于1888年的南京科技大学的文化专业和科学专业。新的合并的大学又更名为南京大学，并且学校从四排楼迁址于古楼。
今日的南京大学有两个校区，一个在古楼，另一个在总面积3600多亩(大约600英亩)的蒲口。南京大学是中国的前十强大学，它拥有漂亮的校园和现代化的教学和研究设施。现任校长江书生教授，他是一位物理学家。南京大学的校庆日是每年的5月20日。
南京大学的发展紧系着中华民族的命运，在动荡的年代亦是如此。南京大学的前身南京师范大学，在1919年5月4日爆发的五四运动扮演着重要的角色。在20世纪20年代早期，一群共产主义的先驱把马克思注意传播给了公众。
共青团第二次民族会议是在南京大学的召开的。在抗日战争期间，国立中心大学创建了一些组织。比如由潘树，梁喜和金宝山所领导的自然科学联盟和民族科学联盟，这些领导者都是当时很有声望的教授。最终这些组织都归为"九三学舍"。在解放战争期间，国立中心大学老师和同学们站在了民主爱国运动的最前沿。在1947年5月20日，国立中心大学发起了"反对饥饿，反对内战，反对迫害的运动"，这就后来我们所知道的"520爱国学生运动"。在国立中心大学更名为南京大学之后，这个追求真理的传统被传承了下来。在1958年5月，一名学者在光明日报的哲学版，发表了一篇众所周知的题为"实践是检验真理的唯一标准"的评论。这篇文章掀起了一场关于真理的标准的激励讨论，吸引了国民的注意。
在100多年的历史时期，南京大学培育了大量卓越学识的人物，他们为民族的复兴和发展作出了贡献。一些著名的科学家和学者，比如李睿清，吴幼熏，竺可桢，茅以晟，刘一争，胡硝石，陶行知，郭秉文，陈贺勤，唐雨彤，马演出，李书童，熊庆来，童第周，金山包，闻一多，张大千，徐悲红，付抱石，严吉慈，吴建雄，李国定，罗嘉轮，古育秀，李芳勋，吴觅，朱光亚，赵忠要，卢书香，梁欣，戴安帮，陈百辰和邝亚明，这些人或则在这里工作或者在这里学习。在这23名被民众所认可的中国高教系统的先驱中，有6位来自于南京大学。
自从中国改革开放后，南京大学在人文，社会科学，自然科学，技术科学，生命科学，现代工程和管理学逐步的发展为多元化。
目前，南京大学有17个学院和50个系。74个学士学位，186个硕士学位(6个工程硕士学位)，122个博士学位，18个博士后流动站。还有，南京大学有28个国家重点学科，10个省部级重点学科，6个国家重点实验室。它有11个国家重点训练基地，在基础科学和文化艺术上用于研究和教学。并且3个由教育部授予的人文和社会科学的研究的基地。在2000多名的师资队伍，有654个教授，其中有27位中国科学院的院士，3位中国工程院的院士，4位第三世界的科学院的院士，和一个俄罗斯科学院的院士。有2位国家重点课题组(973计划)的首席科学家，有19位中年年轻学者被授予突出贡献奖，70位获得国家进步青年奖，36个授予长江学者荣誉称号，29个学者被教育部授予新世纪杰出天才奖，4个有威望的教师，574个具有博士后学位。
由于它的多元化训练体系和高质量的科系，南京大学因此成为中国的高等教育中领导者的一员。根据统计，从1992起，南京大学连续7研究报告居中国大陆高校榜首。在8年的登记中，南京大学的文章是中国大陆被国外文章引用最多的高校。在尽一个世纪里，南京大学已经获得了国家级，和省部级奖励800多项。其中包括，40多个国家级的自然科学，科技进步，技术创新的奖励。自2000年起，南京大学获得了9个国家科技2等奖。从1994起，南京大学是中国的高校中承担国家科学基金和国家社会基金最多的学校。
南京大学在教育方面做到了可喜的成绩。目前，在校生41600多人，其中博士和硕士9964人。拥有坚实的学术基础和强大的职业发展潜力，南京大学的毕业生获得用人单位的好评。在国际院校圈中，7位毕业生获得美国总统奖。
在新的世纪里，南京大学秉承传统，深入改造。通过探索和创新，我们将形成南京大学的高水平和高成就。南京大学超着综合性，研究型，国际化的大学发展，为中华民族的伟大复兴贡献力量。
