Tsing Hua

From Wiki Resolution

The Old Gate is a symbol of Tsing Hua University.

Tsing Hua University was established in Beijing in 1911 on the site of a former royal garden belonging to a prince, and was funded by an indemnity which China paid the United States after the Boxer Rebellion and was later refunded. It was at first a preparatory school for those who were sent by the government to study in the United States. The faculty members for sciences were recruited by the YMCA from the United States and its graduates transferred directly to American schools as juniors upon their graduation. In 1925, a four-year college program was established, and the school has developed into a prestigious four-year university since then.
