Subtitle of the chapter: Don't you have to be an economist?

………………………………………………………

One of the most noteworthy events of May 1921 was the unification of the teachers of the eight public schools in the imperial capital to ...... the Beiyang government Ask for a salary!

These eight schools were the Beijing Higher Normal School (the predecessor of Beijing Normal University) and the Beijing Women's Higher Normal School (later renamed Beijing Women's Normal University, which merged with Beijing Normal University in 1931). ), the five vocational schools of law and politics, medicine, industry, agriculture, and fine arts. The other one is ...... North!

In fact, since 1919, the teachers of the imperial capital public schools and the civil servants of the Ministry of Education have often defaulted on their salaries, so that Mr. Lu Xun, who later became as famous as Mr. Hongji, often asked for a campus loan.

In 1920, civil servants of the Ministry of Education began to organize a "salary collection group" and went to the finance department to hold a sit-in demonstration.

On April 8, 1921, all the teachers and staff of the above eight schools resigned in protest against the Beiyang government's withholding of education funds, and a telegram was sent to the whole country. The Beiyang government had no choice but to promise to allocate funds as soon as possible.

On May 16, 1921, the staff of the Eighth School resigned again because the government had issued empty promises and failed to fulfill the promises made by the previous month.

On June 3, 1921, teachers and students from eight colleges and universities and students from 15 primary and secondary schools jointly went to the Presidential Palace to petition, but were severely beaten by the guards of the Presidential Palace at Xinhua Gate, and more than 10 people were injured by the guards with guns and bayonets. It is known in history as the "June 3rd (Salary Claim) Massacre", also known as the "Xinhuamen Incident".

Fortunately, compared to those two sensitive words, these two words are a little worse.

Therefore, people are more popular than individuals, compared to the first person in the Republic of China to ask for wages, these guys are really wastewood; Compared to our Master Yuan, these guys are really Luther,

Wednesday, May 18, 1921 at two p.m.

As a Wen Na of life, Yuan Yanqian naturally didn't care about what had happened in the imperial capital of Seris in May, he cared about what was going to happen in the magic capital of Seris in July......

"Pickup pickup."

"Neo, we're here."

Master Yuan nodded to Professor Julian Chandler for reminding him in thanks, and then looked out the window at Columbia University, where they were going.

In fact, Columbia University is also on the island of Manhattan, New York, and the English name of Columbia University is Columbia University in the City of Ne York. The literal translation is at Columbia University in New York.

This is to distinguish it from other "Columbia universities". For example, there is a University of British Columbia (UBC, also known as the University of British Columbia) in Canada.

In fact, "Columbia" from Columbus was originally a synonym for the Americas.

However, Columbia is not like NYU in the middle of the lively peninsula, but in the more "remote" Morning Heights of the Upper West Side.

Yuan Hongjian began to complain about his great-great-uncle and grandfather in his heart, he came to study in the United States, you are embarrassed not to study Harvard and Yale, why can't you even go to Columbia University?

Famous Chinese alumni of Columbia University are Tang Shaoyi, Gu Weijun, Hu Shi, Song Ziwen, Ma Yinchu, Feng Youlan, Jiang Menglin, Tao Xingzhi, Jin Yuelin......

By the way, there is also Xu Zhimo, who is in love with the April Day in the world like Jin Yuelin.

By the way, the original version of Yuan Yanqian and Jin Yuelin also met, because in 1920, they were studying for a doctorate in political science at Columbia University, but when the current version came through, Jin Yuelin had already gone to the UK.

These characters are all thunderous when they say it, and they don't even need Baidu, what a pie!

The famous Chinese alumnus of NYU is Ma Ying-jeou...... In addition to being handsome, his old man is depressed, so don't say it.

invisibly, he lowered his compulsion by a few points.

This is not good, Lao Tzu will definitely find a way to get fifty or sixty like Hu Shi in the future...... No, a three-digit honorary doctorate deserves it.

Just when Master Yuan made up his mind to have a "hundred slash", the car carrying him and Professor Chandler came to Columbia University...... Next to the bar.

Oh, and now that Prohibition is in place, these bars have been converted into men's clubs.

The awesome-sounding American Economic Association (AEA) is still a self-organized club of American economists at this point in time.

The AEA can be traced back to 1885, when a group of radical young economists of the German historical school established a fraternity in New York, and since then it has grown in influence and participation by more and more economists.

In 1894, John Bates Clark became president of the AEA, and through his efforts, the fraternity was transformed into an academic organization, and by 1900 it was truly an informal academic organization.

The American Economic Association, which had been established in 1921, was not officially registered as a legal organization until two years later, in 1923.

So when our Master Yuan walked into this men's club, he was a little disappointed to find that there were a bunch of old men smoking all kinds of tobacco and drinking ...... That tea, chatting about the big day.

"Professor Chandler, welcome."

Seeing someone come in, a tall man in his sixties stood on the seat near the door, he had a big face, a big nose, white hair, and a pair of gold-rimmed eyes, which looked very intellectual.

"Professor Davenport, it's a pleasure to see you again."

The two smiled and shook hands and hugged for a while, and then old Mr. Chandler pointed at Yuan Yanqian and said, "Let me introduce you, this is my student, Dr. Neo-Yuan." ”

"And this is Professor Herbert J Davenport (1861-1931), who is also the president of this AEA, and is now a professor in the Department of Economics at Cornell University."

The president of the AEA is basically changed every one to two years, and the original time in 1921 was indeed this Davenport professor as chairman.

The current chairman of the AEA looked at Master Yuan with admiration...... This is not because he has a problem with his sexual orientation, but because the dude is also a member of the Austrian school.

Professor Davenport politely took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "Dr. Yuan, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've read your Socialism, and it's pretty well written. ”

"Thank you for the compliment......"

Okay, with your words, when the Great Depression comes, Lao Tzu will pull you along.

That's right, Professor Davenport, like Irving Fisher, was devastated by the Great Depression.

Heck, it's a shame for us economists and the Austrian school to say this kind of thing.

Yuan Yanqian stepped forward and shook the other party's hand and said, "Professor Davenport, it's my honor to meet you. I have also read your "Business Economics", "Capitalism and Market Value", "Value and Distribution", ......"

He thunderbolted Bala and reported a bunch of names for the dishes...... Well, the title of the book made people can't help but interrupt: "Dr. Yuan, I'm sorry, have you read all these works of mine?" ”

"I've read it, I've really read it all."

Our Master Yuan blinked his eyes and said with an extremely sincere expression, "Professor Davenport, and I've memorized all those wonderful passages of yours!" ”
