The Development of "Nationalization" of Educational Funds of University from 1927 to 1937

As the material basis for maintaining the operation and development of universities, the structural changes of education funds reflect the change of the nature of universities to a great extent. During the period of Beijing government, the central financial crisis occurred frequently, and it was often difficult to allocate the education funds of national universities. Although national universities had the "name" of the state, they lacked the "reality" of funds. Since its trial implementation in 1927, the National University has been striving for the practice of the independent system of education funds, and the "reality" of funds has been improved. By the 1930s, with the continuous expansion of the ruling power of the Nanjing National Government and the increasing central finance, in addition to the continuous promotion of the "reality" of the existing national university education funds, local universities and private universities also gradually showed a tendency towards nationalization of funding sources. In the meantime, in the process of the financial investment of the national government, universities were also increasingly shaped by higher education policies, and their internal funding allocation was constantly inclined to practical and scientific, and assumed the responsibilities of national universities in the construction and development of the nation-state and other aspects.
