摘 要: 民国早期是中国近现代农业科学形成发展的重要时期。在军阀混战、中央政府无力扶持科学教育的困顿历史条件下,留美科学家群体通过与地方势力的合作与相互促进,一方面建设东南大学农科并取得卓著成就,为中国农业科学、生物科学奠定了基础;另一方面,农学研究强调实用性以应对地方需求,服务东南地区,推动了地方农业和工业的发展。这段历史展现了社会力量推动形成的科学的若干特征,表明了在动荡的军阀时代,中国科学并没有因为中央政权的缺位而停滞,而是与社会力量合作互动,在实现自身发展、完成近代化与体制化的同时满足地方上的需求。 Modern Chinese agricultural sciences were established and institutionalized during the early Republican era. The College of Agriculture at National Southeastern University played essential roles in the development of Chinese agricultural sciences. Early Republican China was characterized by warlords and chaos. The so-called central government was so feable that could not sponsor science and education effectively. Zou Bingwen and his colleagues borrowed support from social powers including local industry and American-trained scientists. They achieved remarkable success in establishing the College of Agriculture at Southeastern University,and set foundation for twentiethcentury Chinese agricultural and biological sciences. Promoted by both local social powers and domesticated American Agricultural ideology,Agricultural science at the Southeastern University combined education,research,and extension,and highly focused on practical research to fulfil local demands.Case studies of Zou Bingwen and Southeastern University suggest that in the chaotic warlord era,Chinese science did not collapse,but got modernization and institutionalization with facilitation of social powers.
