history
Fudan University was founded as the Fudan Public School in 1905. The two characters Fudan ( 復旦 / 复旦 ) were taken from the Confucian classics by the Jesuit father Ma Xiangbo ( 馬 相 伯 / 马 相 伯 ) (《尚書 大 傳 • 虞夏 傳》 Shàngshū Dàzhuàn Yú-Xiāzhuàn, Yú-Xiāzhuàn, 。ì 復旦y 旦àng dng - 日月光ì fù dàn xī.).
In 1917, the Fudan Public School became the Fudan Private University ( 私立 復旦大學 / 私立 复旦大学 , English Private Fudan University ) with an attached middle school. Right at the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937, the university moved to the inner-Chinese city of Chongqing , where it was converted into a public university, National Fudan University ( 國立 復旦大學 / 国立复旦大学 ) in 1941 . After the end of the World War, Fudan University returned to Shanghai.
