19 12, Zhang Jian borrowed the workshop of his own pig iron factory and set up the "Textile Dyeing Workshop". In the autumn of the same year, the college was expanded and renamed "Nantong Textile School". Textile schools are divided into undergraduate and preparatory classes. The undergraduate course enrolls old middle school graduates for 3 years, and the preparatory course enrolls high school graduates for 5 years, adopting the curriculum content of Philadelphia Textile School. The school teachers hired Japanese teachers and Huang and Ding Shiyuan who studied textile technology in the United States and Britain to teach, and Zhang Jian personally served as the principal. China textile field began to train professionals in the form of schools.
19 13, Zhang Jian and others donated a school building in the southeast of Sheng Da cotton mill, covering an area of 35 mu, and named it "Textile Special School". There is a wall between the school and the cotton mill. The school is adjacent to the factory, which is convenient for teaching and students' practice.
19 14, Zhang Jian's motto "Be faithful, not deceitful, and strive for perfection" was hung in the teaching building, and various rules and regulations were established 1 15, and a letter was written. In the same year, according to the needs of personnel training, Zhang Jian ordered the latest textile equipment from abroad for textile school students to fully master textile processing theory and practice textile engineering technology. The school pays special attention to the teaching policy of "both hands should be hard and both hands should be used". At the beginning, the experimental workshop set up two practice workshops, namely spinning machine and loom. Later, the courses of silk weaving, electrician and machinery were added, as well as knitting technology. Students are taught basic courses by professors (teachers) first, and then theoretical courses intersect with practical courses to deepen their understanding of theoretical knowledge in practice. In order to strengthen students' practical ability, the school hired a British engineer to take charge of students' internship guidance. During the practice operation, the technicians sent by the factory lead the students to get on the computer with hands-on guidance, so that each student can skillfully operate in each specific position and solve various problems related to the structure, operation, fault, repair and safety of machinery with corresponding professional knowledge, so as to ensure that students can work independently after graduation and become the backbone of the enterprise.
The artist preschool education school founded by Zhang Jian only sends artists with general skills and knowledge to factories. There is an urgent need for textile professionals to run textile factories. In China in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, there were no modern textile technicians, and textile engineering technology was totally dependent on foreigners. It is not only difficult to find talents, but also expensive, which has become a major difficulty for Zhang Jian to run an industry. Sheng Da cotton mill finally hired British engineer Thomas and mechanic Turner. However, the major issues of production technology, such as the purchase, installation, management, production and maintenance of machines, are completely in the hands of foreigners. For example, the machines purchased by Sheng Da Cotton Mill in that year must be provided by three foreign companies designated by Thomas, and it is not allowed to buy related products from other manufacturers. Even the price, quantity and configuration of the goods are all decided by Tang, and the cotton mill has no autonomy. Although the cotton mill has built a senior "expert building" for foreign experts and invited chefs to cook western food, they have been on business trips in Shanghai for a long time with the high salary of the cotton mill and rarely work in the factory. The transportation, accommodation and expenses in Shanghai are all paid by the factory. Even foreigners who have nothing to do with the factory come to China to play, Sheng Da Cotton Mill has to bear all kinds of exchange expenses. Zhang Jian was deeply saddened by China people's inability to master modern science and technology and their long-term subjugation to foreigners, so he decided to set up a special textile school to train local textile technicians in China.
The school has been established for three years, and its scale has been expanding. Zhang Jian immediately published the book "The Purpose of Textile College", stating his main purpose of establishing a textile school: "Ning is a person trained by the school for use in a county in Nantong. I hope our people can't learn from it, but they can help me, especially if they leave. " In order to facilitate students to live on campus, there are dormitories, gymnasiums and libraries in the campus, and the east side of the student dormitory is adjacent to the "Textile Lane" in the professor residential area.
19 17, private Nantong Textile College was registered with the approval of the Ministry of Education.
19 18 years, the graduates of this school successfully assisted Shanghai Housheng Cotton Mill to install new machines, which ended the blind dependence on foreigners for the installation of modern textile machinery in China and realized Zhang Jian's desire to stand on his own feet in China. On August 25th of the same year, The New Bedford Sunday Standard published the article "China Cotton Textile Factory Seeking Beauty" in two and a half editions in 15 and 18, and reported the situation of Nantong Textile Institute to the American society in detail with a long interview and a group of documentary photos. According to the report, Zhang Jian is known as the "king of cotton industry" and the school spends 48,380 yuan. The school's machinery and equipment are all from Britain, using English textbooks. Four of the teachers are from the United States, and all the students have to go to the preparatory school to learn English. Sheng Da Cotton Mill allocates 2000 yuan to this school every month. There were 130 students in the school at that time. These students come from all provinces, and each student only needs to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees 18 yuan, sports fees in 2 yuan and experimental fees in 2 yuan. The report praised "the whole huge Chinese empire, which is the only textile institution of higher learning". "Since the establishment of 19 12, the number of its students has soared and its work scope has expanded rapidly".
1920, graduates Yuan et al. installed the equipment of the first modern thread factory in China, which was well received by all walks of life. By that time, our graduates have spread all over China, and textile mills all over the country have come to the school to recruit needed technical talents. The founders did not expect that the style of study would be strong. According to Chen, the first secretary of Nantong and an agricultural alumnus of private Nantong University in the past 20 years, "Textile specialized schools have achieved good results and the number of students in various provinces has been increasing, making them unique in China."
192 1 year, Sheng Da No.3 Factory was completed, and the students of our college undertook and completed the arrangement and installation of all textile machinery. Students make their knowledge more comprehensive, solid and practical through social practice.
1926, Zhang Jian died, and his son Zhang Xiaoruo succeeded as the principal.
From 65438 to 0927, President Zhang Xiaoruo reorganized the school into Nantong Textile University.
The establishment of textile colleges was a pioneering work in that year, and the capital investment was much larger than that of the establishment of liberal arts colleges. In order to ensure a reliable funding for running a school, Zhang Jian stipulated that the annual funding of textile specialized schools should be borne by the big factory he founded and paid in the annual surplus of textile mills. This example has been used for a long time, which makes the textile school last forever. This is an effective new mode of running a school initiated by Zhang Jian at that time when the country was weak and the people were weak and the finances were tight. Nantong Textile College was the only institution of higher learning named after textile in China at that time, and was regarded as the only institution of higher learning in textile science in China by domestic grandfathers.
The school follows the goal of all-round development of morality, intelligence and physique, and has built a large open-air playground. It also has a school football team, a basketball team, a tennis team, a badminton team and a table tennis team. The level of students' physical exercise and sports competition is first-class in Nantong. Zhang Jian attaches great importance to students' moral education and physical exercise, so the quality of education is high and the social influence is great. Young people with aspirations all over the country are competing to apply for the exam, much like overseas Chinese and Korean students. After 19 17, students who stayed in Nantong Textile Institute and returned from studying abroad gradually replaced the foreign teachers hired earlier.
At that time, the graduation certificate of textile students was unique. It was not only a souvenir of textile school students' academic qualifications (also a formal paper graduation certificate issued by the Ministry), but also a verification of each student's practical ability. Graduation certificates are divided into silk weaving and process printing and dyeing. Graduates of textile printing and dyeing department design their own patterns and weave or print with jacquard loom, which fully embodies the educational tradition and school-running characteristics of the school.
1In August, 928, it merged with private Nantong Agricultural University and private Nantong Medical University to form private Nantong University, which became the spinning department of private Nantong University. Zhang Yi is the director of education and acting director of the Textile Department of Nantong University.
1930165438+10 In October, private Nantong University was renamed as private Nantong College and became the spinning department of private Nantong College.
1935 10, Zhang Xiaoruo was assassinated in Shanghai and died unfortunately. In June165438+1October of the same year, Chu Minyi was appointed as the Acting Dean of the private Nantong College.
1In August, 936, Zheng Yitong took over as the president of private Nantong University. The academic system of medical undergraduate changed from 5-year system to 6-year system from 1936.
During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression:
1937 Nantong college has 20 full-time professors, 9 associate professors and 9 lecturers, many of whom taught after studying abroad. In August of that year, Nantong was bombed by Japanese warplanes and Nantong College was forced to suspend classes. That year, all the staff and equipment of medical and affiliated hospitals moved to Yangzhou.
1February, 938, the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Nantong University was officially named as the seventh seriously wounded hospital by the military and political departments of the National Government and put into the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. After that, the seventh seriously wounded hospital moved to Hengyang, Hunan. In August, Nantong Medical College merged with Jiangsu Medical Management College to form the National Jiangsu Medical College. In February, 65438, Jiangsu Medical College moved to Guiyang City, Guizhou Province to run a school in a local school building. In February, 65438, Jiangsu Medical College moved to Guiyang City, Guizhou Province to run a school in a local school building. In September of the same year, with the support of many parties, the Department of Agricultural Textile of Nantong College moved to No.45 Jiangxi Road in Shanghai to resume classes, and then moved to Chongqing Road in Shanghai to run a school.
65438-0939 Nantong College moved to Beibei, Chongqing, and established an affiliated hospital.
1942, some teachers and students of Nantong College moved to Tongcheng Town, Huainan base area of the New Fourth Army. At the headquarters of Nantong College, the Japanese smashed all the students' internship machines, but the left-behind staff of the school still took the student dormitory as the classroom and started higher vocational classes.
After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory:
1945, with the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the teachers and students of Nantong College were ready to move back to Nantong, and a back-to-school office was set up at the headquarters of Nantong College to take over the devastated school buildings and school furniture. That year, the National Jiangsu Medical College was preparing to move to Zhenjiang as a whole, and the private Nantong College reported that it would restore the medical department at the original site. The Ministry of Education of the National Government immediately approved the report, so some teachers and students of the National Jiangsu Medical College (formerly Nantong College Medical College) who were far away in Chongqing boarded the ship from Chongqing Pier and went all the way down to Nantong.
1in the autumn of 946, due to the shortage of school buildings, only two classes from the Department of Textile Industry and one class from the Department of Dyeing and Chemical Engineering went back to Nantong to attend classes, and the rest of the students in the second, third and fourth grades could only attend classes in the temporary school buildings in Shanghai. 1946, the medical department of private Nantong College resumed enrollment.
1947 in the spring, the second students of agricultural science and textile science and technology university moved back to Tangzha, Nantong for classes, while the second students of agricultural science, animal husbandry and textile science and technology university remained in Shanghai for classes.
During the period of 1948, the situation in Nantong was unstable due to the civil war. Except for two newly recruited classes, the rest of the students moved to Shanghai for classes.
1In August, 949, Nantong and Shanghai were liberated, and hundreds of people from agricultural and textile departments braved the heat and moved back to Nantong by land and water.
65438-0952, the national departments were adjusted, Nantong College was split, and agriculture, textile and medicine moved out one after another. In July of that year, the Textile Department of Nantong College was transferred to Shanghai and merged with several textile colleges to form East China Textile Institute of Technology (now Donghua University).
197765438+February, with the consent of the provincial people's government, the textile department was rebuilt in the name of Nantong Branch of Nanjing Institute of Technology.
1979 1 month, renamed Nantong institute of technology with the approval of the State Council.
1July, 1980, the provincial government was renamed Nantong Textile College with the approval of the Ministry of Education.
1985 1 With the approval of the State Council, the provincial people's government changed its name to Nantong Textile Institute.
1September 1995, with the approval of the State Education Commission, it was renamed Nantong Institute of Technology.
In May, 2004, with the approval of the Ministry of Education of China, Nantong University merged with Nantong Medical College and Nantong Normal College, and established Nantong University Textile and Apparel College, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering College, Electrical Engineering College and Mechanical Engineering College.
