At present, Tongji Medical College of Huake and Tongji University have the same predecessor, Shanghai Devon Medical College. After more than 40 years of hard development, Tongji University has developed into the first batch of famous universities in modern China, which are famous for science, engineering, medicine, literature and law, especially medicine. At this time, the national colleges and universities were greatly adjusted, and Tongji University contributed many excellent disciplines and majors in this process.
During the three years from 1949 to 1952, Tongji University experienced many large-scale department adjustments. Its Chinese and law schools were all placed under Fudan University, and then Fudan University supported the construction of East China University of Political Science and Law (Zhengdong) and Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (Shangcai).
The Department of Botany and the Department of Zoology of the Faculty of Science were merged into East China Normal University; The Department of Chemistry of the Faculty of Science participated in the establishment of East China Institute of Chemical Technology (East China Institute of Technology); Department of Shipbuilding, department of mechanical engineering, Department of Electrical Engineering, etc. Transferred to the former Jiaotong University (Xi Jiaotong University and Shanghai Jiaotong University) respectively; The Department of Water Conservancy of the Institute of Technology participated in the establishment of East China Institute of Water Conservancy (He Hai), and there are other small-scale adjustments, so I won't repeat them here.
In the large-scale adjustment of colleges and departments in the school, the most noteworthy thing is 1950. In order to support the medical and health undertakings in Central and South China, Tongji University Medical College and its affiliated tongji hospital all moved to Wuhan, merged with Wuhan University Medical College, renamed Central South Tongji Medical College and later renamed Wuhan tongji hospital. Since then, the school has taken root in Wuhan, and after 30 years of hard struggle, it was renamed Tongji Medical University on 1985. On May 26th, 2000, Tongji Medical University merged with Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Wuhan Institute of Urban Construction to form Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
In fact, Tongji University has sought Tongji Medical College to move back to Shanghai or merge with Tongji University more than once. Tongji University is rooted in medicine after all, but due to various factors, many attempts have failed. Maybe Tongji Medical College will never go back.
Tongji University now specializes in architecture, civil engineering and transportation. After all, I moved to almost all architecture and related majors in East China, which was better than Tsinghua. In 2000, Tongji University merged with the former Shanghai Railway University, rebuilt medicine on the basis of the former Shanghai Railway University Medical College, and established Tongji University Medical College.
