History

• The recorded origin of the university is the railway department attached in 1896 to the Beiyang University at Tianjin, which is regarded by the institution itself as the founding act of its nearly one-hundred-and-thirty-year history.该校可考的源头是 1896 年在天津北洋大学堂附设的津榆铁路学堂，校方以此作为百三十年校史起点。

• In 1897 the preparatory school was on the point of opening, when the viceroy of the Beiyang University, Sheng Xuanhuai, ordered it withdrawn and merged into the Beiyang University.1897 年该校筹备就绪即将开学，北洋大学堂督办盛宣怀下令将其撤销并入北洋大学堂。

• In November 1897 the railway superintendent Hu Yufen ordered the school separated again and moved to Shanhaiguan, where it was opened as the Imperial Chinese Railway College.同年 11 月，津榆铁路督办胡燏棻命其重新从北洋大学堂析出迁往山海关，时称山海关北洋铁路官学堂，英文 '''Imperial Chinese Railway College''。

• The Shanhaiguan school was suspended and dissolved in September 1900, and a scheme to reopen it in 1903 collapsed because the necessary funds could not be raised.山海关时期的学堂于 1900 年 9 月停办解散，1903 年拟复办因经费无着而失败。

• In 1905 the school was revived and relocated to Tangshan in Hebei, and was renamed the Tangshan Mining and Metallurgy School, beginning the long Tangshan phase of its history.1905 年学堂复办并迁校河北唐山，定名为唐山路矿学堂，由此开启漫长的唐山办学时期。

• During the early Republic, the founding father Sun Yat-sen visited the campus and delivered his celebrated address that a revolution requires two great armies, one armed and one devoted to construction.民国初年，国父孙中山曾莅校视察，发表「革命需要武装、建设两路大军」的著名演说。

• By a decision taken in December 1920 and implemented in 1921, the Minister of Communications Ye Gongchuo unified four scattered Ministry of Communications schools, the Shanghai Industrial Specialized School, the Tangshan Industrial Specialized School, the Beijing Railway Management School and the Beijing Post and Telegraph School, under one academic system.1920 年 12 月，交通总长叶恭绰以部属四校散居不便管理为由，决定自 1921 年起统一学制，将上海工业专门学校、唐山工业专门学校、北平铁路管理学校、北平邮电学校合组。

• The four schools were thenceforth grouped as Chiao Tung University, divided into the Shanghai school, the Tangshan school and the Beijing school, and the Tangshan branch is the direct ancestor of today's Southwest Jiaotong University.四校统称交通大学，分设上海学校、唐山学校与北京学校，其中唐山学校即今日西南交通大学的前身。

• When the 1916 graduate Mao Yisheng went to Cornell University, that university first refused to recognise his Tangshan degree and set him an examination, but his brilliant answers led Cornell to admit later Chiao Tung University graduates without any test.茅以升自唐山工学院毕业赴美时，康奈尔大学起初不承认唐校学历而出题考核，因其应对出色，遂决定此后对交通大学留学生免试入学。

• After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident of 1937 the Japanese army seized the Tangshan grounds, and the college reopened at Hsiangtan in Hunan before moving to Yangchiatan in Hsianghsiang in May 1938.1937 年抗战爆发后校园被日军占领，年底在湖南湘潭复校，次年 5 月迁往湖南湘乡杨家滩。

• The college removed again to Pingyue in Guizhou in 1939, was renamed the National Chiao Tung University Guizhou Branch in January 1942, and fled to Bishan in Sichuan in November 1944 as the Japanese pressed into Guizhou.1939 年再迁贵州平越，1942 年 1 月更名国立交通大学贵州分校，1944 年 11 月因日军攻入贵州又迁四川璧山。

• In August 1946 the ministry ordered the school to take the name National Tangshan Engineering College, and the college moved back to its old grounds at Tangshan to resume teaching.1946 年 8 月奉教育部令更名国立唐山工学院，并迁回唐山原址办学。

• In July 1949 the military Railway Ministry took over the institution and merged the Tangshan Engineering College with the Peiping Railway Management Institute and the North China Traffic College into China Chiao Tung University.1949 年 7 月学校由中央军委铁道部接管，将唐山工学院、北平铁道管理学院与华北交通学院合并为中国交通大学。

• The headquarters of the merged China Chiao Tung University stood at the Railway Ministry in Beijing, with the Tangshan Engineering College and the Beijing Railway Management Institute established beneath it.合并后的中国交通大学本部设于北京铁道部，下设唐山工学院与北京铁道管理学院。

• In August 1950 China Chiao Tung University was renamed Northern Jiaotong University, and the Tangshan college accordingly became the Tangshan College of Northern Jiaotong University.1950 年 8 月中国交通大学更名北方交通大学，该校随之称北方交通大学唐山工学院。

• In the great 1952 reorganisation of colleges and departments across the country, the institution was renamed the Tangshan Institute of Railway, dropping general management studies to focus on railway engineering.1952 年全国高等院校院系调整中，学校更名唐山铁道学院，转向以铁道工程为主的专门院校。

• To support the third-front construction and under the pressure of the domestic and foreign political environment, the university was ordered inland to Emei in Sichuan in September 1964, a transfer completed only in 1971.为支援「大三线」建设并迫于国内外政治环境压力，学校于 1964 年 9 月内迁四川峨眉，搬迁至 1971 年方告完成。

• After the move to Sichuan was finished, the school was renamed Southwest Jiaotong University in 1972, its title carrying the regional compass point that distinguishes it from the Shanghai and Beijing branches of Chiao Tung.搬迁完成后，学校于 1972 年更名西南交通大学，校名中的方位字样将其与交通大学的沪校、平校相区别。

• A Tangshan branch campus was established in September 1985, the head school moved formally to Chengdu in 1989, and the former Emei site was reconstituted as the Emei branch campus.1985 年 9 月成立西南交大唐山分校，1989 年总校正式迁往成都市，原峨眉校址改为峨眉分校。

• On 12 February 2000 the university was transferred from the Ministry of Railways to the Ministry of Education, ending a half-century of administration by the railway authorities.2000 年 2 月 12 日，学校正式由铁道部划归教育部，结束了长达半个世纪由铁道部门主管的体制。

• Construction of the new Xipu campus outside Chengdu began in 2002, and in the same year the Tangshan branch merged with the Tangshan College of Higher Specialised Studies and the Tangshan Workers' University to form Tangshan College, approved by the Ministry of Education.2002 年成都犀浦新校区启动建设，同年经教育部批准，唐山分校与唐山高等专科学校、唐山市职工大学合并组建唐山学院。

• The Xipu campus was formally put into use on 18 September 2004, at which time the Emei branch was upgraded and renamed the Emei campus.犀浦校区于 2004 年 9 月 18 日正式启用，同时峨眉分校更名为峨眉校区。

• A graduate innovation and practice base, the Tangshan Research Institute, was re-established at Tangshan in 2009, and its Tangshan park was opened for use on 9 October 2023, binding the university once more to the city where it taught for decades.2009 年学校再次于唐山设立西南交通大学唐山研究院，作为二级教学科研单位与研究生创新实践基地，其唐山园区于 2023 年 10 月 9 日正式开园使用。

• Across its history the institution has carried names such as the Imperial Chinese Railway College, the Tangshan Mining and Metallurgy School, the Tangshan Branch of Chiao Tung University, the National Chiao Tung University Tangshan Engineering College, the National Tangshan Engineering College, China Chiao Tung University, Northern Jiaotong University, the Tangshan Institute of Railway and, since 1972, Southwest Jiaotong University.其先后使用过山海关北洋铁路官学堂、唐山路矿学堂、交通大学唐山学校、国立交通大学唐山工程学院、国立唐山工学院、中国交通大学、北方交通大学、唐山铁道学院等名，1972 年后定名西南交通大学。

Student life

• The university celebrates its anniversary on 15 May each year, the date fixed in 1947, when the institution marked both its fifty-first founding anniversary and its forty-second year of restoration at Tangshan.该校校庆日为每年 5 月 15 日，此日定于 1947 年学校举行建校五十一周年与唐山复校四十二周年之际。

• The school song was composed by Wu Chi-hui in 1934 while the institution was the Tangshan Engineering College, revised and promulgated on 15 May 1947, and revived at the 115th anniversary in 2011 to be sung at every graduation ceremony since.校歌由吴稚晖于 1934 年在校称交通大学唐山工程学院时创作，1947 年 5 月 15 日修订并正式公布，2011 年 115 周年校庆重新启用，此后毕业典礼全体齐唱。

• Its motto, "精勤求学，敦笃励志，果毅力行，忠恕任事", was promulgated on 2 May 1930 by Chiao Tung University and re-adopted as the college motto of the Tangshan Institute on the 1947 anniversary.校训「精勤求学、敦笃励志、果毅力行、忠恕任事」于 1930 年 5 月 2 日由交通大学公布，1947 年校庆时重新确认为唐山工学院院训。
