According to relevant records, the course of law and politics in Hosei University was founded at the request of international students in China. In modern history, Cao Rulin, who suffered more than fame, once mentioned the origin of the establishment of crash courses in his memoirs. At that time, Fan Yuanlian, who was about to graduate from Tokyo Normal School, discussed with Cao Rulin, who was about to return from Tokyo Law School. He thought that there was a shortage of talents in the country at that time, but it could not be created immediately, so he wanted to run a crash course in law and politics in Japan. However, they think that Japanese jurists generally study hard, write their own works and are unwilling to mind their own business. If they want to do this, they must find someone who is proficient in law and enthusiastic about education. Cao Rulin thinks of Dr. Mei Senjiro, the president of the law school who finally achieved all this, because Dr. Mei is an authority in the legal field. "He is very concerned about China and people are frank and considerate." After several discussions with Dr. Mei, I finally decided to run a crash course in law and politics.
According to the Chronicle of Intensive Training of Law and Politics for Overseas Students in Qing Dynasty, according to Fan Yuanlian's request at that time, the duration of intensive training of law and politics was one year, and later it was increased to one and a half or two years to show the meaning of "intensive training", which showed the sense of urgency and mission of young students such as Fan Yuanlian. Because the crash course is borrowed from the school building of Hosei University, the time can't conflict with the students in the school, and its professor is invited by Senjiro from outside the school, so the teaching time of the crash course students is in the evening; It usually takes three to four years to complete the course, and it takes a year or a year and a half, so the school canceled the summer vacation. "Students come to school in the heat every day." Because the students in the crash course generally have no or weak Japanese foundation, the teaching method is that Japanese professors speak in Japanese and then translate it into Chinese, which eliminates the obstacles for students to listen and speak. Interpreters are international students who have studied in Japan for many years. They should not only translate in class, but also translate the professor's speech into Chinese after class. After many revisions and proofreading, they can finish the printing of the handout. The workload is unimaginable, and these jobs are usually unpaid. They really work by feeling.
Speaking of the "merit" of the rapid development of law and politics, the first thing is, of course, to train a large number of law and politics talents for the late Qing Dynasty. According to the alumni list of Chronicle, some students served as members of the Advisory Council or participated in central and local legislation after returning to China, while most students engaged in legal practice, from judges, trials to prosecutors, which enriched the judicial organs in the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China. Zhang Zhiben, who died in 1905, was not only the president of local or central government and many universities during the Republic of China, but also the vice chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee of the Legislative Yuan in the 1930 s. Ju Zheng, who died at 1906, served as the president of the national court for a long time; Some graduates went to teach in law and political schools in various provinces, such as ShiYi Ding, who came from Huangxian County (now Longkou). After returning to China, he taught in Shandong Law and Politics School and was elected as a member of the Shandong Advisory Council in the late Qing Dynasty. Shen Junru, a native of Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, served as Secretary General of Zhejiang Provincial Committee during the Republic of China. In 1930s, he was the dean of Shanghai Law University, the chairman of Shanghai Lawyers Association,1June 5, 948 to1September 949, the first vice chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the first dean of the Supreme People's Court in People's Republic of China (PRC). There are Cheng Shude in academic circles, who is from Minhou, Fujian. In addition to * * *, he is also a lecturer at the Law School of National Peking University, the Political Science Department of National Tsinghua University and the Law Department of National Peking University. His book "The Law Examination of Nine Dynasties" is still a must-read book for legal scholars.
If we want to say that it is "passing", it is because it is attractive to those who want to "gild", and the learning quality of subsequent international students will inevitably decline. In addition, some Japanese schools saw that offering this course was profitable, so they followed suit and blossomed everywhere. In the case of mixed good and bad, after several years of establishment, they finally lost their reputation among international students in China and had to be revoked.
When it comes to whether legal and political education can "speed up", we need to treat it dialectically. Judging from the actions of the talents he trained in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, legal and political talents can indeed be "accelerated". However, if students don't work hard after studying, they may not have "merit" even after studying for a long time. On the other hand, the practice of law and politics should be carried out after the formal education, as Yang Shu, then the Qing ambassador to Japan, said at the ceremony of "Graduation of the First Intensive Course of Law and Politics" in 1905: "However, although you learn quickly, you still can't make progress. After returning to China, students should not think about reform, but learn "Brother Tangtou" and come out to see the world. I hope you will give birth to what you have learned and pass it on to your compatriots, so as to enlighten the people and build their homes. Just showing your land is not enough. I hope you can do extensive research on books on law and politics before you go to school. Then you can examine the national customs and habits of our country and consider the gains and losses according to the proportion you have learned. This is the ruling handle, with a view to achieving prosperity or hope. " These words are used to warn today's law and political students that they still beat the floor.
