History

• The institution was established on 5 July 1954 as the Shanghai Teachers Training College at 441 West Tiyuhui Road in Hongkou District, a two-year college created to supply secondary-school teachers for a city whose school population was expanding under the First Five-Year Plan.1954 年 7 月 5 日，上海师范专科学校在虹口区西体育会路 441 号成立，这所两年制专科学校承担为第一个五年计划期间迅速扩张的上海中等教育输送师资的任务。
• In August 1955 the college moved to a purpose-built campus on Guilin Road in the Caohejing area, where a courtyard complex of red-brick buildings with traditional large roofs included a five-storey teaching block of almost 10,000 square metres that dominated the surrounding fields.1955 年 8 月，学校迁入漕河泾地区桂林路的新校舍，庭院式布局的红砖大屋顶建筑群中有一座近 1 万平方米的五层教学大楼，是当时周边田野间的制高点。
• To serve the new campus the municipal public works bureau opened a new street named Guilin Road, and by September 1955 the college library already held 67,798 volumes in its own building, a collection that became the nucleus of the present library system.为配合新校舍建设，上海市工务局专门辟建了桂林路，到 1955 年 9 月学校图书馆已在独立馆舍中藏书 67798 册，这批藏书成为今日图书馆体系的起点。
• In May 1956 the Ministry of Education approved a reorganisation under which the college was divided into two separate institutions, the Shanghai No. 1 Teachers College for arts subjects and the Shanghai No. 2 Teachers College for sciences, both offering undergraduate and sub-degree courses.1956 年 5 月，教育部批准对学校进行改组，在原校基础上分别成立培养文科师资的上海第一师范学院与培养理科师资的上海第二师范学院，两院均本专科兼设。
• Premier Zhou Enlai appointed the educator Liao Shicheng as president of the First College, while Chen Linhu, then director of the Shanghai education bureau, headed the Second College, and the two institutions opened on 3 and 5 September 1956 respectively.国务院总理周恩来任命教育家廖世承为第一师范学院院长，时任上海市教育局局长陈琳瑚兼任第二师范学院院长，两院分别于 1956 年 9 月 3 日和 9 月 5 日开学。
• On 22 July 1958 the two colleges were merged into Shanghai Teachers College, a comprehensive teacher-training institution with Liao Shicheng as its first president, and the writer and historian Guo Moruo, first president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, inscribed the new name for the campus.1958 年 7 月 22 日，两院合并成立以文理为主的上海师范学院，廖世承出任首任院长，中国科学院首任院长、文学家与历史学家郭沫若亲笔题写了校名。
