【Abstract】 Tan Xihong was one of the first generation of modern biological educationists in China. In the summer of 1919, he got master’s degree for natural history in the Toulouse University of France. In the spring of 1920, he was appointed as a professor of the Department of Philosophy of Peking University by its president Tsai Yuen-pei, who meanwhile also assigned him to establish the Department of Biology for the university. In September 1925, the Department of Biology was established, for which Tan was appointed to be its first director. In the spring of 1927, being listed as wanted by the Government of Northern Warlord, he was forced to leave Peking and fled to the South. Thereafter he devoted himself to agricultural education, improving the industry of silkworm mulberry and economic construction, and faded out of biological academic circles. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, he was appointed as a consultant of the Ministry of Agriculture. This paper gives a brief account of Tan’s life and the process of establishing the Biological Department of Peking University.更多还原
