ABSTRACT

Yenching University was planning to set up the Department of Journalism to carry out journalism education at the beginning of its establishment in 1919. Although it experienced setbacks, it finally became a reality in 1924, and eventually became a leader in carrying out journalism education during the Republic of China. Exploring the reasons for Yenching University to establish journalism education, we can find that there are four the key factors for the ideal to become reality. They are respectively the urgent needs for the rapid development of Chinese journalism around the May 4th Movement, the urgent need to improve the morality and professional quality of the existing journalists, the guidance of the unique religious thoughts and school running ideas of the running scholars, and various measures to overcome difficulties. Looking back on this period of history, we can also find that the need of the times and the urgent need of industry development are the conditions for the rise of journalism education; scholars paid close attention to social development and closely linked to the pulse of the times are the foundation; the sponsor's unique school-running idea and persistent school-running spirit are the key to the development and growth of journalism education. This has enlightening significance for the establishment and development of a new kind of education in colleges and universities.
