In 1901, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing and forced the Qing dynasty government to sign the Boxer Protocol. According to this Protocol, Qing government need to pay a large number of reparations to the aggressor countries. In 1911, based on a part of this reparations, a School named “Tsinghua Xuetang” was built as Preparatory School for students to study in United States. “Tsinghua Xuetang” was the predecessor of today’s Tsinghua University. The name “National Tsinghua University” was adopted in 1928.Since its establish, with a motto of Self-Discipline and Social Commitment, Tsinghua University is dedicated to academic excellence, the well-being of Chinese society and to global development. Today, most national and international rankings place Tsinghua as one of the best universities in Mainland China.So we can see three different architectural styles of buildings in the campus of Tsinghua University. The old buildings are mainly located in the west of Xuetang Road, in the east of Xuetang Road there are all new buildings which was built after 1949.泥沙馆Sedimentation BuildingSedimentation Building is mainly built for the research of hydraulics and river dynamics. It contains offices, boardrooms and laboratories.二校门The Old GateThe Old Gate was built in 1909. The Gate was the main entrance to the school campus at that time.At that time, the Gate was heavily guarded. In those years, underclassmen were not allowed to go out of the gate without permission from school authorities. In addition, in order to preserve the sanctity of the learning environment, outside people without permission were also forbidden to pass through the gate.In 1933, after the expansion of the residential area, the former enclosing wall was moved to further out. A new gate, now Tsinghua's West Gate, became the new mainentrance. Ever since, the original gate has been called Er Xiao Men (means "the second school gate").The Old Gate was demolished in 1960's. Donated by Tsinghua University Alumni, it was rebuilt in 1991, following the original design.日晷SundialThe sundial is a classical timer used in ancient times. It is a gift given by the graduates in 1920. It serves as a reference for class time for students, and also a reminder to them that every second of time should be valued.It was carved with the motto "Actions speak louder than words" in both Chinese and Latin characters together with the date of construction. Today, the motto "Actions speak louder than words" has already become the school spirit of Tsinghua University. The?Sundial?is?made?of?silver?covered?with?enamel.?The Sundial stood in front of Tsinghua’s grassy quadrangle before the foundation of People’s Republic of China (about 1948). The planar surface of the sundial turned to be stony then, since the former silver one covered with enamel disappeared. Tsinghua often had struggle meeting on the grassy quadrangle during the Cultural Revolution. The oval grassy quadrangle was changed into a rectangle and the Sundial was removed in order to enlarge the field. The place where the Sundial used to stand was stuffed with cement, and the Sundial was missing. After the Cultural Revolution, Tsinghua began to collect the old things of the university, and the Sundial was found in a pile of stones, but its planar disappeared. The Sundial we see nowadays had been repaired after that, and its planar was newly made. It was here since the 70th anniversary of the foundation of Tsinghua.清华学堂Tsinghua XuetangTsinghua Xuetang is one of the landmarks of Tsinghua University. Xuetang means school, a place for teaching. The construction of Tsinghua Xuetang was completed in 1916. It was one of the main buildings of the school at its early stage.The four Chinese characters painted above the main entrance read "Tsinghua School", the first name of the institution when it was founded. The inscription was by Na Tong, a Great Scholar and Grand Minister in late Qing Dynasty.Tsinghua Xuetang served as classrooms for senior students at the beginning of the school. After the east part was built, it remained a dormitory for senior graduating students for several years. In 1925, the Institute of Chinese Classics was set up here. The renowned “Four Tutors" in the Institute of Chinese Classics: Liang Qichao, WangGuowei, Zhao Yuanren, Chen Yinque, （梁启超、王国维、赵元任、陈寅恪）the famous archeologist Li Ji, and litterateur Wu Mi were brought together.In the last few decades, it was used as teaching building and classrooms. Now it is the offices of some main administration departments: the Graduate School, the undergraduate academic department and the R&D department.大礼堂AuditoriumThe Auditorium is a symbol of Tsinghua University. The Auditorium was designed by American architect . Murphy in 1913, and completed in 1917. It is one of the four major building projects carried out by Tsinghua School, together with Tsinghua Xuetang, the old library, and the west gymnasium. Since the American designer didn’t believe the quality of building materials in China, they imported the costing cork floors, chairs and even the red bricks all from America. The design of Auditorium based on the image of the auditorium in University of Pennsylvania. Endowed with the feature of both Greek and Roman building, looks very elegant.For a long time, the building has been long viewed as the symbol of persistence, simplicity and indomitable will. Though more than 90 years has passed, the Auditorium still maintains quite well. Large-scaled activities like every Student Festival of different departments and some concerts are often held here.新水利馆Department of Hydraulic EngineeringThe Water Conservancy Building is hosts the Department of Hydraulic Engineering. Constructed in the year 1955. Its designer is Mr. Zhou Weiquan. In order to match the style of the buildings around the great auditorium, the designer applied the same methods in his general drawing arrangement and architectural style arrangement. The appearance of the building consists of elements like red brick wall and arch door, window and gate.Department of Hydraulic Engineering dates back to the Hydraulic Engineering group and Hydraulic Engineering laboratory of the Civil Engineering Department in the late the school-department adjustment in 1952, department of Hydraulic and department of Hydropower Engineering were founded. In 1955, it moved into the new department building and was reestablished as Department of Hydraulic Engineering.The department has a strong teaching staff, including six academicians and 40 professors. The former President of China, Hu Jintao graduated from this departmentin 1965.智者乐水、仁者乐山The statue of “Zhi Zhe Le Shui, Ren Zhe Le Shan” was built in 2002 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Department of Hydraulic Engineering. The statue was donated by alumni graduated in 1965, including our former President Hu Jintao and former Minister of Water Resources Wang Shucheng.The sentence is from Confucian Analects. The left part of the statue represents hard mountain rocks, and the right part represents flowing water. It means wise men are sharp-minded, just like flowing waters, kind men are kindhearted and tolerant, just like staunch mountains. That is how the statue comes into being.科学馆Science BuildingThe Science Building is also one of the Four Early Architectures of Tsinghua University. It was first built in 1917 and was finished 1919. Again Mr. . Murphy added his expertise and talents to the design of the Science Building.There are characters in both Chinese and old English of “SCIENCE BVILDING” on the lintel of the door which are distinguished and simple. It was used for science teaching and experiments when first built because it possesses of the most advanced equipment. Later it served as Physics Department Building for 73 years till the newly-built Physics Department teaching building came into use. This building brought out countless scientists and many of them are famous all around the world for their contribution to our earth, such as Wang Ganchang, Wang Zhuxi, Peng Hengwu, Qian Sanqiang, He Zehui and Lin Jiaqiao. （王淦昌、王竹溪、彭恒武、钱三强、何泽慧、林家翘）Among the 23 scientists honored by the country in 1999 for their great contributions to the astonishing accomplishment of the “Atomic Bomb, hydrogen Bomb and artificial satellite”, 9 graduated from Physics Department of Tsinghua University.Now, the Science Building is the dreaming place for the young generation nationwide who is interested in science.清华园Tsinghua GardenThe more popular name of the garden is Gong Zi Ting -- which in Chinese means H-Shaped House. Viewed from above, the central part of the house resembles the letter "H", with its two halls in the front and back connected by a short corridor in the middle.? The garden was the residence of a Qing emperor's brother's family. In the early days of Tsinghua School, the garden was used as the school's first head office building. Student enrollment lists were posted on the wall at the front gate. For some years in its history,the east room in the front section was used as the Music Center, the west room as the teacher's reading room and the back section to accommodate distinguished foreign guests. The great Indian poet Tagore stayed there when he visited China in 1924.近春园（荷塘月色）Jinchun GardenJinchun Garden was the residence of emperor Xian Feng before he succeeded his father.

The name “National Tsinghua University” was adopted in 1928.The faculty greatly valued the interaction between Chinese and Western cultures, the sciences and humanities, the ancient and modern. Tsinghua scholars Wang Guowei, Liang Qichao, Chen Yinque and Zhao Yuanren, renowned as the "Four Tutors" in the Institute of Chinese Classics, advocated this belief and had a profound impact on Tsinghua's later development.Tsinghua University was forced to move to Kunming and join with Peking University and Nankai University to form the Southwest Associated University due to the Resistance War against the Japanese Invasion in 1937. In 1946 The University was moved back to its original location in Beijing after the war.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the University was molded into a polytechnic institute focusing on engineering in the nationwide restructuring of universities and colleges undertaken in 1952. In November 1952, Mr. Jiang Nanxiang became the President of the University. He made significant contributions in leading Tsinghua to become the national center for training engineers and scientists with both professional proficiency and personal integrity.Since China opened up to the world in 1978, Tsinghua University has developed at a breathtaking pace into a comprehensive research university. At present, the university has 14 schools and 56 departments with faculties in science, engineering, humanities, law, medicine, history, philosophy, economics, management, education and art. The University has now over 25,900 students, including 13,100 undergraduates and 12,800 graduate students. As one of China’s most renowned universities, Tsinghua has become an important institution for fostering talent and scientific research.The educational philosophy of Tsinghua is to "train students with integrity."

Partly funded by the “Gengzi Indemnity”, alsoknown as “Boxer Indemnity,” it functioned at first as a preparatory school called“Tsinghua Xuetang (Tsing Hua Imperial College)” for those students who weresent by the government to study in the United States.On April 29, 1911, Tsinghua Xuetang began its first term of study, and from thatyear on, the Tsinghua’s anniversary has fallen on the last Sunday of April. Thename was changed to “Tsinghua Xuexiao (Tsing Hua College)” after the 1911Revolution.In 1925, Tsinghua launched its four-year undergraduate programme. In 1928,its name was changed to “Guoli Tsinghua Daxue (National Tsinghua University),”and in the autumn of 1929 its graduate school was set up.Following the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japan in 1937, Tsinghua University, Peking University and Nankai University merged to form the National Southwest Associated University in Kunming. After the war, Tsinghua University moved back to its original Beijing campus.Three years after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, a nationwide restructuring of institutes of higher education began, and in 1952, Tsinghua University became a multidisciplinary polytechnic university specializing in training engineers. In November of that year, the Ministry of Education appointed Jiang Nanxiang as President.Since 1978, Tsinghua University has strengthened its teaching in sciences, economic management, humanities and law. In 1999, Tsinghua opened the School of Arts and Design by merging with the Central Academy of Arts and Design. Today, Tsinghua has become a leading university: while its teaching is focused on engineering, it concurrently offers degrees in other sciences, the liberal arts, management and law.To fully implement the “China Education Reform and Development Program,” Tsinghua University has set new development targets for the next 15 years. Educational quality and effectiveness will be improved and disciplinary structure will be readjusted. Building on our strength in engineering, the university will promote the development of science and management departments. High academic standards will also be pursued in the humanities and social sciences.In less than 100 years, Tsinghua University has witnessed and shared the hardships and glories of the nation. The University’s motto of “Self-discipline and Social Commitment” has inspired many generations of Tsinghua teachers and students to struggle for the prosperity of China. Now, striving to build Tsinghua University into a world-class university by its 100th anniversary in 2011 has become the objective of each member of the teaching staff and the student body.Tsinghua Garden（清华园-工字厅）Tsinghua Garden is architecturally unique. It preserves original architectural features over three centuries old. The garden retains a traditional Qing private garden design and style with painted corridors connecting every room. It has functioned as the university's head office for many years. Due to its distinctive characteristics, it has become a major attraction on campus.The more popular name of the garden is Gong Zi Ting -- which in Chinese means H-Shaped House. Viewed from above, the central part of the house resembles the letter "H", with its two halls in the front and back connected by a short corridor in the middle.The garden started out as the residence of a Qing emperor’s brother’s family. In the early days of Tsinghua School, founded in 1911, the garden was used as the school’s first head office building. Student enrollment lists were posted on the wall at the front gate. For some years in its history, the east room in the front section was used as the Music Center, the west room as the teacher’s reading room and the back section to accommodate distinguished foreign guests. The great Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore stayed there when he visited China in 1924.Auditorium（大礼堂）Located at the heart of the oldest area on Tsinghua campus is the imposing auditorium.

The total construction area was 4650 m².The four Chinese characters painted above the main entrance read “Tsinghua School”, the first name of the institution when it was founded. The inscription was by Na Tong, a Great Scholar and Grand Minister in late Qing Dynasty.In the last few decades, it was used as teaching building and classrooms. Now it is the offices of some main administration departments: the Graduate School, the undergraduate academic department and the R&D department.The Old Gate（二校门）The Old Gate was built in 1909. In May of that year, the Qing dynasty government approved the application from the Department of Foreign Affairs to establish a school in the suburbs of Beijing. Tsinghua Garden was chosen as the site for the school. The Gate was the main entrance to the school campus at that time.At that time, the Gate was not only stately and graceful, but also heavily guarded. In those years, underclassmen were not allowed to go beyond the gate without permission from school authorities. In addition, for the sake of preserving the sanctity of the learning environment, people not on official school business were forbidden to pass through the gate.In 1933, after the expansion of the residential area, the former enclosing wall was moved to further out.
