渥太華大學 與 中國 的源遠歷史

美國 渥太華大學 中國 的源遠歷史

1901年,美國渥太華大學 Ottawa University 畢業生 Francis Johnstone White (魏馥蘭) 被北美浸信會派遣到中國,參與籌建滬江大學(上海理工大學前身),並於1911至1928年擔任滬江大學校長。

任內,魏馥蘭校長 把滬江大學建成具有較高水準的教會大學,實現男女同校,並主張應由中國人當校長。滬江大學逐步壯大起來,成為一所國內外知名的教會大學。而魏馥蘭校長功成身退後,成為滬江大學最後一任美籍校長。

位於大學禮堂北側,1937年建成的「思魏堂」,便是用以紀念這位為滬江大學作出傑出貢獻的校長。

徐志摩 魏校長

徐志摩 就讀滬江大學時,魏馥蘭校長曾回國休假。徐志摩創作《送魏校長歸國序》送行,並發表於1916年11月天籟第4卷第3期。這篇《魏校長歸國序》是迄今發現的徐志摩大學時期最早發表的作品之一。

徐志摩 同期亦於《滬江春秋》發表了「送別」:「 魏博士且歸國,作送別會。學生曼歌,不勝戀戀。先生訓之辭,其言諄諄宛摯。學生感喻奮作,復歌洋洋盈耳也。越十五日,先生首塗,舉校送之,為之輓車,徐歌而行。詩曰,泰山岩岩,魯邦所瞻,斯之謂矣。」
