聖約翰大學校史 Saint John's University

這本書我只是翻翻
校訓我很熟悉
整體校園圖也是存在耶魯大學......似乎每位學生都可以記幾行




U·rim and Thum·mim（希伯來文；Lux et veritas (Latin)；(Light and truth)）光與真理
Yale University、Indiana University and the University of Montana.、過去上海聖約翰大學等等之校訓 (Motto)
The Biblical Hebrew "Urim and Thummim" (אורים ותמים) is emblazoned across the open book pictured on the Yale University shield, a legacy of Yale College president Ezra Stiles. It is translated in Latin on a banner below as "Lux et Veritas" ("Light and Truth").
pl.n.
Sacred objects carried inside the breastplate of the high priest of ancient Israel and used as oracular media to divine the will of God.
[Partial translation of Hebrew ’ûrîm wĕtummîm : ’ûrîm, perhaps pl. of ’ûr, flame, light (from ’ôr, to be light) + wə-, and + tummîm, pl. of tōm, completion, integrity (from tam, to be complete).]
胸袋裏應放上石鬮 （urim wethummim;本義光明完美，或光與真，是求問上帝旨意的神器，如{民數記}27:21所記，舊譯烏陵和突明（土明）），讓它們貼著心口；如此，亞倫侍立於耶和華面前，就能夠為以色列子民領受並判斷我的旨意，永志不忘。（大祭司最重要的職責。）

Saint John's University (圣约翰大学) was an Anglican university located in Shanghai, China. Before the Chinese Civil War it was regarded as one of the most prestigious universities in Shanghai and China. In 1952, the University was broken up and its faculties were joined with similar faculties from other universities to create several specialist universities.

History

The University was founded in 1897 by Samuel Isaac Joseph Schereschewsky, Bishop of Shanghai, by amalgamating two pre-existing Anglican colleges in Shanghai.
St. John's began with 39 students, and taught mainly in Chinese. In 1891 it changed to English teaching, and courses began to focus on science and natural philosophy.
The University was registered in Washington state in the U.S., and thus had the status of a domestic university in the U.S. Graduates of St John's could proceed directly to graduate schools in the U.S. As a result, the university attracted some of the brightest and wealthiest students in Shanghai at the time. It was the first institution to grant bachelor's degrees in China, starting in 1907.
The University was located on a bend of the Suzhou Creek in Shanghai, and was designed to incorporate Chinese and Western architectural elements.
The University survived the Chinese Civil War. However, in 1952 the Communist government adopted a policy of creating specialist universities in the Soviet style of the time. Under this policy, St Johns was broken up. Most of its faculties was incorporated into the East China Normal University and Fudan University. The Medical school was incorporated into Shanghai Second Medical College which became the School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiaotong University in 2005. The campus became the site of the East China University of Politics and Law.

St. John's University produced several influential figures in the early half of the 20th Century, including:
