National C-hhuunnggkki University
1. National Chungking University fN'C7, founded in the 1920;s, had a
World War II student enrollment of about 8,000. In the College of
Science there were departments of chemistry, physics, mathematics,
and geology. The College of Engineering had departments of archi-
tectural chemical metallurgical, and
In World Warn,, because of
~tle- war-, a concentration of professors ? in Chungking, our depart-
ment was the best in China. However, in normal times neither the
NCU mining and metallurgy department nor NCU as a whole ranks with
the top-flight Chinese universities.

2. For the first two years, students took the same subjects in the
NCU mining and, metallurgy department; in the third year, we began
to 'major in either mining or metallurgy. 25X1
sixteen students received BS degrees in t mining and metallurgy
department; nine in metallurgy and seven in mining. Several students
failed scholastically before reaching the final year, but most of
them transferred to other departments, rather than leave the
university completely. I believe that the majority 25X1
are still in China, 25X1

Concentration of University Facilities
3, have " current information on Chinese Universities,
Gen re ize i port ant, departments in one university per geographical
,area. For exae, in North China, engineering is centered at Tsinghua
University, and agriculture and literature at Peking University. In
Central China, engineering is concentrated in Chekiang University. This
re-organization seems logical to me, because it makes maximum use of
existing facilities by concentrating faculty and equipment of several
universities in one locatioii.
