Fu Jen Catholic University

Fu Jen Catholic University, commonly shortened to FJU or Fu Jen, is a private Catholic university in the Xinzhuang District of New Taipei City, Taiwan, China, and the oldest Catholic and Jesuit-affiliated institution of higher education in the Chinese-speaking world.辅仁大学（常简称 FJU 或辅大）是位于中国台湾新北市新庄区的私立天主教大学，也是华语世界历史最悠久的天主教耶稣会背景高等学府。

It was founded in Beijing in 1925 at the request of Pope Pius XI, closed on the mainland in 1952, and re-established in Taiwan in 1961 at the request of Pope John XXIII, so the institution carries two foundation dates and two distinct eras.该校 1925 年应教皇庇护十一世之请在北京创办，1952 年在大陆停办，1961 年又应教皇若望二十三世之请在台湾复校，因此同时拥有两个创校年份与两个截然不同的时代。

It now comprises twelve colleges and schools with more than 25,000 students, sits under the Congregation for Catholic Education of the Holy See, and in the QS World University Rankings 2027 occupies the 1201-1400 band, with 17,569 works and 590,390 citations recorded in OpenAlex.该校现设十二个学院、学生逾 25,000 人，隶属圣座教育部管辖，在 2027 年 QS 世界大学排名中位列 1201-1400 区间，OpenAlex 收录其 17,569 项成果与 590,390 次引用。

History

• Fu Jen grew out of the Fu Jen Academy, a small Catholic study centre created by the scholars Ma Xiangbo and Ying Lianzhi, and was raised to university status in Beijing in 1925 by the Benedictines of St. Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.辅仁源于学者马相伯与英敛之创办的小型天主教学术机构辅仁社，1925 年由美国宾夕法尼亚州拉特罗布的圣文森特总修道院本笃会在北京升格为大学。

• The Holy See had asked the Benedictines to establish a Catholic university in China, and Archabbot Aurelius Stehle served as chancellor while the American missionary George Barry O'Toole became the first president in 1925.圣座曾请本笃会在中国创办天主教大学，总院长奥雷利乌斯·施泰勒出任校监，美国传教士乔治·巴里·奥图尔则于 1925 年就任首任校长。

• Chen Yuan, a Protestant historian of international reputation, succeeded O'Toole in 1927 and remained president until the Communist government closed the university in 1952, giving the Beijing era a single continuous academic leader.1927 年，国际知名的历史学家、新教徒陈垣接替奥图尔，任校长直至 1952 年该校被共产党政府停办，使北平时期拥有唯一一位贯穿始终的学术领导人。

• The Great Depression left the American Benedictines unable to finance the university, and in 1933 administration passed to the Society of the Divine Word in Germany, a transfer that shaped the institution's later European connections.大萧条使美国本笃会无力继续资助学校，1933 年校务转由德国的圣言会接管，这一转手塑造了该校此后与欧洲的联系。

• Because the university was now tied to Germany, an ally of Imperial Japan, its staff and students escaped much of the brutality that occupying Japanese troops inflicted elsewhere during the Sino-Japanese War of 1937 to 1945.由于学校此时与日本的盟国德国相关联，其师生在 1937 年至 1945 年的中日战争期间得以避开占领军在其他地方施加的许多暴行。

• On 24 December 1945 the university chairman Thomas Tien Ken-sin was created a cardinal, the first Chinese cardinal in the history of the Catholic Church, an event that raised Fu Jen's standing in the global Church.1945 年 12 月 24 日，校董会主席田耕莘被擢升为枢机主教，成为天主教会史上首位华人枢机，此事显著提升了辅仁在全球教会中的地位。

• The following year the School of Agriculture was added, preparations began for a School of Medicine, and the first Taiwan alumni association was founded at Dadu in Taichung.次年学校增设农学院，并开始筹建医学院，同时首个台湾校友会在台中大肚成立。

• After the Communist victory in 1949 religious organisations, including the Catholic Church, were systematically repressed, and in 1952 Fu Jen was dissolved and its faculties distributed among Beijing Normal University, Peking University, Renmin University, the China University of Political Science and Law and the Central University of Finance and Economics.1949 年共产党获胜后，包括天主教会在内的宗教组织遭到系统性压制，1952 年辅仁被解散，其院系分别并入北京师范大学、北京大学、人民大学、中国政法大学与中央财经大学。

• Chen Yuan was transferred to Beijing Normal University as its president under an arrangement made by Mao Zedong, and the Beijing campus at Dingfu Street later became part of that university's north campus.在毛泽东的安排下，陈垣被调往北京师范大学出任校长，位于定阜大街的辅仁校园后来成为该校北校区的一部分。

• In 1949 the university's American representative Ralph Thyken went to Tokyo to prepare a new Catholic university in Nagoya, which became Nanzan University, and Fu Jen's history was interrupted for about a decade.1949 年，该校美国代表拉尔夫·蒂肯前往东京筹建名古屋的一所新天主教大学，即后来的南山大学，辅仁的历史由此中断约十年。

• The new university opened under the Chinese Regional Bishops' Conference together with the Society of Jesus and the Society of the Divine Word, which is why Fu Jen is described as both diocesan and Jesuit-affiliated.新校在中国主教团、耶稣会与圣言会的共同主持下开办，这也是辅仁兼具教区大学与耶稣会背景双重身份的原因。

• Teaching began on a second campus in Da'an District, Taipei, in 1961, and the main campus in Xinzhuang, New Taipei, opened in 1963 and has remained the university's centre ever since.1961 年学校先在台北大安区的第二校区开课，1963 年位于新北市新庄的主校区启用，此后一直是学校的中心。
