The work thus begun in a small way grew rapidly, and
now, while the university is not yet in its fifteenth year, the staff
numbers sixty-one and the students 146. In addition to these are the
students of the middle school, numbering some 300, and when
summer-course students are counted the total exceeds 600.
The regular courses laid down by the Chinese
Government were followed, and the faculties of arts and science were
the first to be organised. But the need for fully trained teachers,
preachers and doctors was so great that the faculties of education,
religion and medicine were soon added. More recently a department of
dentistry has been opened in addition to the more normal medical work. |
