In September 1937, President Zhu agreed with the abbot of XiTianmu Temple to rent the rest of the temple as the teaching and living room for freshmen. At 2 1 on the 9th, freshmen began to move to Tianmu Mountain, and classes began on the 27th. Although the conditions are simple, and it is located in the mountains and far away from the city, it is very convenient for teachers and students to get along with each other day and night, not only teaching questions and answers, but also Zhi Tao with moral character. Therefore, the long-planned tutorial system is implemented here first. At that time, Zhejiang University tried out the tutorial system, which was the first in domestic education. The school also decided to move the attached junior high school and high school to Xianghu, Xiaoshan County.
As for the headquarters of Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, due to the invasion of enemy planes, during the six weeks from September 20th to October 30th of 10, the average time of being unable to attend classes due to alarm reached 16%. However, under the lazy situation of indiscriminate bombing by Japanese planes, teachers and students of Zhejiang University will attend classes as usual as soon as the alarm is lifted. On June 5th, 165438+ The enemy landed in jinshanwei Quangong Pavilion between Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces, not far from Hangzhou, and Zhejiang University decided to move to Jiande County. Jiande, about 240 kilometers southwest of Hangzhou, was called Yanzhou in ancient times. From165438+1October 1 1, the teachers and students of Zhejiang University set out in three batches and took a boat at Jianggan Wharf. 15 all arrived in Jiande. At the same time, almost all the books and instruments that can be transported were moved out of Hangzhou and transported to Jiande by car or ship. 11At the end of June, the situation in western Zhejiang was critical, and the freshmen in Tianmu Mountain were in danger of being cornered, so the school decided to move. From the end of June 1 1, teachers and students in Tianmu Mountain moved in batches, taking buses, walking and changing boats. After running for five days, I arrived in Jiande. After a short break, the whole school resumed classes immediately, and the semester work did not have much impact.
Zhejiang University moved to Jiande as a temporary school building. All offices, classrooms, dormitories, etc. Scattered throughout the city. The main office is located in the house in front of the main office, and the classrooms are located in forest farms, Catholic churches and Confucius temples. The dormitory is in Central Primary School, Wanyuan Dang, Dongmen Street. There are more than enough teachers, students, staff, family members and people in Zhejiang University, so every day after school, the streets are full of people. Together with other schools that moved here, Jiande became a school city for a time.
165438+1On October 20th, President Zhu learned the news that Nanjing National Government had moved to Chongqing on the radio. At the same time, Suzhou fell, the Japanese invaders invaded south and approached Jiaxing, and Jiande was not a place to live. The school is considering moving again and sending people to southern Zhejiang and Jiangxi to learn about it on the spot. On February 2, 65438, I received a phone call from the Ministry of Education and agreed to move Zhejiang University to Zhejiang or Gannan. President Zhu decided to go to Jiangxi personally to further implement the school site. After many days of contact with President Zhu, the Jiangxi provincial government agreed to give the former sites of Qingyuan Mountain in Ji 'an County and Dayuan Academy in Taihe County to Zhejiang University, but requested to concentrate on Taihe in the future. President Zhu immediately called the Special Education Committee after returning to Hangzhou, "and decided to move to Ji 'an early. Because it is planned to move in the winter vacation, it will not hinder the students' studies, and they can also prepare the house in Ji' an calmly. However, after the fall of Nanjing, the Japanese tended to invade the Wulin. If Hangzhou falls, the road will be broken, while Zhejiang and Jiangxi may be impassable, so we have to move first. That is, send someone to Yushan to contact the vehicle so that classes can be suspended regularly. "
After the government of Zhejiang Province moved to the south of Zhejiang Province, on June 26th, 165438+, the Provincial Department of Education announced the evacuation of provincial schools. Since then, the two affiliated middle schools of Zhejiang University have lost their funding sources. Zhu Kezhen had to reluctantly dismiss the teachers and students of these two schools. After that, there will be no more senior engineers and farmers in Zhejiang University.
