The word "seeking truth from facts" comes from Liu Dechuan in Wang Xian between Han Shuhe, in which Liu De is said to be "open-minded and eager to learn, seeking truth from facts". Zhao Tianlin initiated Beiyang University with these four words. In the spirit of seeking truth from facts, treat scientific and technological knowledge and correct the style of study.
Zhao Tianlin insists on strict words and takes high quality as the teaching goal. He wrote in 1925 "The 30th Anniversary of Beiyang University":
Metaphysics, concentration. Rich in humanities, new and new.
The charges are long, and at the beginning of the reorganization. A fool is a fool, seeking truth from facts.
I remember when I was a child, I was a moth. It's a shame for Goby to come back from overseas.
Teaching comes from the same source. In this line of work, you are the most heartless.
Don't count barnyard grass, remember the time. Only when you are virtuous and honorable.
The clouds are steaming and Xia Wei, and there are many happy events. Yang Yang studied the sea, and ten thousand schools worshipped religion.
This speech is a review and summary of Zhao Tianlin's school-running thought, which embodies his spirit of seeking truth from facts and his ambition of teaching and educating people wholeheartedly and having both ability and political integrity.

Tianjin University has inherited the excellent school spirit and style of study of Beiyang University, and abides by the school motto of "seeking truth from facts".

The lyrics are:
Beautiful flowers, surging clouds in the north, and high in Beiyang University.
It has a long history and was built for compatriots.
It is better to transform China on the spot than to talk on paper.
Poor science, vigorous technology, emphasis on experiments, thin carving insects.
Looking forward to the outstanding achievements of our predecessors, we should try our best to pursue them.
Looking back on the hard work in the past, I hope that * * * will unite as one and win glory for the school.
