Lingnan University () in Canton, Kwangtung Province, China (now Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China), was a private university established by a group of American missionaries in 1888. At its founding it was named Canton Christian College (格致書院). Lingnan University was incorporated into Chung Shan University (now Sun Yat-sen University) in 1953. Members of the university fled to Hong Kong and founded the Lingnan School in Wan Chai in 1967, which was relocated to Tuen Mun in the mid-1990s and renamed Lingnan University in 1999. Sun Yat-sen University is a comprehensive university founded by Dr. Sun Yat-sen in 1924. In the Times Higher Education Ranking 2011-2012, it was ranked sixth among all Chinese universities and first in South China.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World University Rankings 2011-2012 )〕 Originated from Lingnan University, a private university in the early 20th century, Lingnan (University) College was reestablished in 1988 within Sun Yat-sen University. == History == The university relocated several times during its existence. It moved to Macau, then a Portuguese colony, in 1900 to escape the repressive measures implemented by the ruling Qing Dynasty of China. In 1903, the Chinese name was changed to 嶺南學堂 in Macau. It moved back to Canton in 1904. In 1906, the University of Pennsylvania's Christian Association sent University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine graduate, Josiah McCracken, to Canton to determine whether it would be feasible to take over the medical department of the Canton Christian College. McCracken reported that he thought the organization should follow through and in 1907 the school was renamed "The University Medical School in Canton, China," and he became its president from 1907 to 1913. In 1913, the Christian Association ended the affiliation with the Canton Christian College and Josiah McCracken helped start a new medical school at St. John's University in Shanghai. In 1916, the Chinese name was changed again, to 嶺南大學, as the college expanded to become a university. In 1927, management of the university passed into Chinese hands, and the English name was changed to Lingnan University, the transliteration of the school's Chinese name. Dr. Chung Wing Kwong became the first Chinese principal of the University. On July 23, 1930, the property of the Canton Medical Missionary Society and Hospital were transferred to the Board of Directors at Lingnan University. A branch in Hainan with an emphasis on agricultural studies was founded in 1933. The Hackett Medical College for Women (夏葛女子醫學院, the first medical college for women in China) and its affiliated hospital known as David Gregg Hospital for Women and Children (also known as Yuji Hospital 柔濟醫院),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Crusade of Compassion for the Healing of the Nations )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=柔济医院的实验室 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=American Doctors in Canton )〕〔http://www.hkbu.edu.hk/~libimage/theses/abstracts/b15564174a.pdf〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=中国近代第一所女子医学院－－夏葛医学院 )〕 located in Guangzhou, China, were parts of a medical center that was founded by female medical missionary Dr. Mary H. Fulton (1854-1927). Dr. Fulton was sent by the Foreign Missions Board of the Presbyterian Church (USA), with the support of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, New York, of which David Gregg was pastor〔Archives of Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, New York〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Inasmuch: Mary H. Fulton, The United Study of Forring: 9781140341802: Amazon.com: Books )〕 The College was dedicated in 1902 and offered a four-year medical curriculum. At the end of 1932, the medical center was registered and put under the control of the Chinese government. Furthermore, it affiliated with Guangzhou Hospital and Lingnan University to form the Sun Yat-Sen Medical College in 1936. During the 1930s and 40s, the university was forced to move several times as Japanese armies advanced across China. In 1937, it relocated to Hong Kong as the Japanese occupied Canton, and in 1942, to Kukong (now Shaoguan) in northern Kwangtung Province, as the Japanese occupied Hong Kong. After World War II, the university was finally able to return to Canton. In 1953, Lingnan University was incorporated into Chung Shan University (now Sun Yat-sen University). Members of the university who fled from communist rule to Hong Kong founded the Lingnan College in Hong Kong to continue the spirit of the university in 1967. That college became Hong Kong's Lingnan University in 1999. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lingnan University (Guangzhou)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
