清华大学为一所坐落于中国北京的研究型大学，建于1911年。凭借雄厚的研究和培养实力，清华大学一直是中国两所顶尖学府之一，另一所为北京大学。它是九校联盟(北京大学、清华大学、浙江大学、复旦大学、上海交通大学、南京大学、中国科学技术大学、哈尔滨工业大学、西安交通大学——爱语吧注)九所成员高校之一。
In the aftermath of the Boxer Rebellion, American Secretary of State John
Hay suggested that the US $30 million plus Boxer indemnity paid by China to the
United States was excessive. After much negotiation with ambassador Liang Cheng,
President Theodore Roosevelt obtained congressional approval in 1909 to reduce
the Qing dynasty indemnity payment by US$10.8 million, on the condition that
these funds would be used as scholarships for Chinese students to study in the
United States.
义和团运动之后，美国国务卿约翰·海表示，中国赔偿给美国的3000万美元和义和团赔款原属过多。在与清朝驻美公使梁诚多番交涉后，西奥多·罗斯福总统于1909年获国会批准减少清朝1080万美元的赔款，前提是这些资金作为中国学生留美的奖学金。
Using this fund, the Tsinghua College was established in Beijing, on 29
April 1911 on the site of a former royal garden, to serve as a preparatory
school for students to be sent by the government to study in the United States.
The faculty members for sciences were recruited by the YMCA from the United
States and its graduates transferred directly to American schools upon
graduation. In 1925, the school established its College Department and started
its research institute on Chinese studies.

and Nankai University, merged to form Changsha Temporary University in Changsha,
and later National Southwestern Associated University in Kunming of Yunnan
province. After the war, Tsinghua moved back to Beijing and resumed its
