About the Book

Discover the Academic Soul of a Century-Old Institution and Experience the Historical Legacy of Peking University's Spirit 发现百年名校的治学灵魂,感受北大精神的历史传承 Selecting Talents for the Nation: Peking University Entrance Examinations (1917-1948) In the first half of the 20th century, as old and new ideologies and forces waxed and waned amidst a world of unpredictable turbulence, Peking University emerged as a central hub, gathering most of the nation's influential intellectual elites. The questions designed to select new students vividly reflected the stance, aspirations, and global awareness of Peking University's scholars. Examples of examination questions include: 1919 (Preparatory Program Essay): Knowledge Should Be Based on Experimentation. 1924 (Preparatory Program Chinese): Are "Researching National Heritage" and "Preserving National Essence" the Same? Explain Based on Your Observations. 1925 (Preparatory Program History): How Did China Lose Tariff Autonomy, Bringing the Nation to the Brink of Collapse? What Were the Causes, and Which Country Was the Driving Force Behind It? Which Treaty Formalized This? 1936 (Undergraduate Essay): Describe the Difficulties You Encounter in Writing and Trace Their Origins; or, Discuss How Your Academic Interests Have Evolved Over Time and Explain the Reasons Behind These Changes. 1944 (Geography): Why Should Geography Be Considered a Fundamental Component of Civic Education? 1946 (Joint Entrance Exam Essay): Schools and Society. ... Selecting Talents for the Nation systematically compiles Peking University's undergraduate and preparatory program entrance examination questions from 1917 to 1948, organized chronologically and categorized by disciplines such as humanities, sciences, and law. Additionally, the book features historical photographs, documents, and essays by renowned scholars and alumni, offering an authentic glimpse into the university's admissions practices and campus life during that era. 二十世纪上半叶,新旧思想与力量此消彼长,世界云波诡谲,北京大学汇聚了大部分具有全国影响力的知识精英,是万众瞩目的中心。出什么样的题目来考选新生,颇能反映北大学人的立场、志趣及对国际的认知。 1919年预科作文题:学问当以实验为基础说。 1924年预科国文题:"研究国故"和"保存国粹",是不是同样的事情?试把各人自己观察所得写出来。 1925年预科历史题:我国关税失自主之权,国几等于灭亡,其故何在?其原动力起于何国?结于何种条约? 1936年本科作文题:叙述你平日作文所感到的困难,并推寻困难的由来;或者,你从读书以来,对于学问的兴趣经过几次转变?试说明其经过及原因。 1944年地理题:地理系基本公民教育之一,应如何解释之。 1946年联合招生作文题:学校与社会。 ...... 《为国选士》以年份为序,系统整理1917-1948年北京大学本科、预科和文、理、法等各门类招生入学试题。此外,本书特别收录相关历史图片资料与师友名篇,忠实呈现当时招生情形与校园记忆。
