台湾东吴大学：跨越世纪的法学摇篮
东吴大学创立于1900年的苏州，是中国近代第一所西制大学，由美国基督教监理会创办。其英文校名「Soochow University」承载着深厚的历史基因。1954年于台北复校后，成为台湾第一所私立大学，延续苏州时期的法学传统，尤以比较法学教育闻名。校园融合东方书院底蕴与西方博雅教育精神，红砖建筑与现代楼宇交错，见证着从清末维新到当代教育的百年变迁。
Established during a transformative era in Chinese history, Soochow University pioneered Western-style higher education with its unique blend of Anglo-American curriculum and Chinese cultural values. Its law school became legendary for cultivating judicial talents through its distinctive comparative law program, which integrated civil law and common law systems. The university’s relocation to Taipei preserved this academic heritage while adapting to Taiwan’s democratic development, making it a living bridge between historical legacy and modern innovation.
如今东吴大学外双溪与城中两校区各具特色：外双溪校区依山而建，人文气息浓郁；城中校区位居台北政经核心，与司法机构毗邻，为法商学科提供实战环境。学校维持「小而精」办学特色，法律、会计等学科持续领先，全台唯一「拉丁文必修」的法律系课程更是鲜明标签。师资囊括前大法官、知名学者，保持「理论+实务」双轨教学传统。
What distinguishes Soochow University is its commitment to holistic education. Beyond its strong legal and business programs, it emphasizes character formation through community service and international exchanges. The university maintains partnerships with over 200 institutions worldwide, while its student-led moot court teams regularly win regional competitions. This global vision rooted in local values reflects its founding motto: “Unto a Full-Grown Man” – educating individuals who contribute to justice and society.
走过双甲子岁月，东吴大学始终秉持「养天地正气，法古今完人」校训，在台湾高等教育界树立独特地位。它既是华人世界法治精神的播种者，亦是人文与专业平衡教育的实践者，持续在变动的时代中培育兼具国际视野与社会关怀的跨领域人才。
