Abstract
This thesis introduced Lee Teng-Hwee’s contribution and educational philosophy when he served as the president of Fudan University, particularly the first ten years (1913-1923) of his presidency. Lee Teng-Hwee was an overseas Chinese who was born near the capital of the Dutch East Indies, and he represented the seventh generation of his family living in Southeast Asia. He finished his secondary education at the Anglo-Chinese School in Singapore, and then went to the United States for higher education. He finally graduated from Yale University in 1899 and was baptized in America as a Christian. During his first ten years at Fudan, Lee focused on the reformation of the school to build a Yale-style university in China. He successfully reformed Fudan from a preparatory school to a modern university that had some unique characteristics that were influenced by his educational philosophy. This study focuses on Lee’s identity, his contribution to the development of Fudan, and an exploration of his motivation to build the “Eastern Yale.” Lee’s background would provide a unique perspective to understand Chinese higher education and the modern cultural reformation, which was a voice different from the other universities or the more radical Peking University.
