China University Student Dataset (CUSD) Project
The China University Student Database (CUSD) project analyzes the social and geographic familial background of over 450,000 Chinese students enrolled in tertiary educational institutions during the late Qing and Beiyang period (1905-1927), under the Guomindang (1928-1949), and in the People’s Republic of China (1949-) including Chinese students studying abroad as well as domestically.

Background
“Modern” four-year university education began in China with the dissolution of the civil service examination system in 1905 and the systematic introduction of a Western curriculum accompanying the establishment of the first public university in 1898, the first missionary universities in 1900, and the first private universities in 1911. By 1932 there were already 76 recognized four-year universities in China and these numbers grew by 1947 and 1951 to 130 and 206. Today there are 1219 four-year universities including 112 211-elite universities and 39 985-elite universities in the Peoples Republic of China, 126 universities in Taiwan, and 8 UGC universities in Hong Kong. Thanks to the very recent expansion of tertiary education over the past several decades, China has the largest national tertiary educated population in the world. According to the 2010 Chinese census, of the 1.33 billion people in China, 119 million had received tertiary education. According to the 2020 Chinese census, of the 1.41 billion people in China, the number of tertiary educated people has almost doubled to 218 million.
CUSD Data Series
We distinguish between four groups of tertiary educated students – QBY, ROC, PRC, and Overseas – and have created or are in the process of creating four different CUSD data series: the CUSD-QBY, the CUSD-ROC, the CUSD-PRC and, the CUSD-OS.
The CUSD-QBY includes 92,285 students who attended 289 Chinese proto-university tertiary institutions called daxuetang 大学堂, gaodengxuetang 高等学堂, or zhuanmenxuexiao 专门学校 dating back at least to 1902: 19,193 graduates who attended 110 such tertiary institutions in 1900-1911; 65,319 who attended 193 such tertiary institutions in 1912-1927; and 7,773 who attended 39 recognized Chinese universities 大学 in 1928-1937. As of March 2024, the CUSD-QBY includes 129,742 records for 92,285 unique tertiary students largely during the late Qing and Beiyang periods.
The CUSD-ROC includes all or partial student registration records for 43 Chinese universities in Guomindang controlled China. While these represent only one-third of the universities of that time, they account for almost all of the 194,583 surviving student registration records we have located in mainland Chinese university and administrative archives. As of March 2024, the CUSD-ROC includes student records for 162,451 unique undergraduate students. We are still in the process of completing the data entry for several of these universities, as well as acquiring access to the Republican student records for other universities which we hope to include in the CUSD-ROC.
The CUSD-PRC includes all the student registration records for two Chinese universities: 64,500 who attended Peking University (PKU) perhaps the most prestigious liberal arts university in China in 1952-1955, 1972-87, 1989-1999; and 86,393 undergraduates who attended Suzhou University (SZU) the highest ranked Provincial university in China from 1933 to 2003. In addition, we have begun data entry for an equally large student population from Zhejiang University.
The CUSD-OS already includes 52,703 overseas Chinese students, that is three-quarters of the 65-75,000 Chinese students who graduated from foreign universities from the beginning of the twentieth century through the early years of the People’s Republic of China. The current population available for immediate analysis include 64,164 records for 32,543 Chinese students in Japan, 12,457 records for 11,289 Chinese students in the USA, 7,402 records for 7,356 students in Europe, and almost a thousand students in the Soviet Union, for a total of 97,186 entered, processed, and linked records for the 52,703 unique international Chinese students.
The CUSD-OS includes information only on the students themselves since it is based on graduation and immigration records while the CUSD-QBY includes the names of 23,076 parents, grandparents, and great grandparents; the CUSD-ROC includes the names, occupations, and addresses of 50,000 parents, 20,000 grandparents, 10,000 great grandparents, and well over 30,000 guarantors; and the CUSD-PRC includes names and occupations of household head for all SZU students, and names and occupation for both parents for almost all PKU students.

CUSD Project Histories
The idea of creating a China University Student Database (CUSD) dates back to Spring 1998 when during Peking University’s Centenary celebrations then PKU Provost, Chi Huisheng, told James Z. Lee about the student archival records in the PKU University Archives. Lee subsequently obtained permission to enter these records for all undergraduate students from PKU and SZU and recruited HKBU Professor, Ruan Danching (sociology), to be co-I. Actual data entry for what would become the CUSD-PRC did not however begin for PKU until 2003 under Ruan’s direction, coordinating with PKU Professor Yang Shanhua (sociology), and Yang’s PhD student, Zhang Hao, and for SZU until 2006 / 2007, under the direction of SZU Vice President Yin Aisun and SZU professor, Zhang Zhaoyu (archives), and the supervision of then PKU and University of Michigan Postdoctoral Fellow, Liang Chen.
It was Chen LIANG who first proposed in 2010 that we expand our study of proprietary undergraduate student registration cards in the CUSD-PRC and create a CUSD-ROC that would include similar Republican University student records stored in publicly accessible local and provincial archives rather than proprietary university archives. Chen initially organized the preliminary coding of 80,425 student records from such sources,[1] supplemented by James LEE and Mingyu ZHANG who added 51,637 student records from university proprietary records.[2] Bamboo REN added another 30,724 students records from publicly accessible student records for ten other tertiary educational institutions,[3] 18,651 from published student records or alumni lists, and 12,073 from publicly accessible archival records, and together with Haozhe HAN and Chengcheng LIANG completed the recoding of over 30,000 previously incompletely coded archival records.[4] In addition, in 2023-2024, Haozhe Han added data for some 20,000 new students to the CUSD-ROC expanding our data coverage from 36 to 40 tertiary educational institutions.
As of March 2024, the CUSD-ROC includes 186,843 student records for 154,833 unique undergraduate students including 138,293 students from 27 of 55 MOE recognized universities (daxue大学), 15,408 students from 11 of 75 institutes (xueyuan学院), and 1,132 students from two specialized tertiary schools (zhuanke xuexiao专科学校) summarized in the following table.[5]

[1] These include 80,425 student records from 11 universities, six institutes, and one specialized tertiary school whose data, with two notable exceptions, were publicly accessible. The 11 universities are Utopia, St. John’s, University of Shanghai, National Chi Nan, Soochow, National Sun Yat-sen, Fukien Christian, National Hunan, l’Université Franco-Chinoise, Nanking, and National Peking University Medical Centre. The six institutes are Hangchow Christian College, Chaoyang College, National Shanghai Institute of Business, Hsiang-Ya Medical College, Ginling College, National Normal College. The one specialized school is the Municipal Shanghai Institute of Industry. All of the student records from these institutions except for Ginling College and Nanking University are publicly accessible.
Chen Liang personally entered much of our data for Beijing over a period of half a year, followed by two students working separately for two months, and one research assistant who worked for another two months. Chen Liang also inititally entered as much as half our data for Shanghai over another period of half a year, followed by an SJTU research assistant, Dan Xu, over a six-month period, and another student who worked for one month. As Chen Liang was only able to work for one month in Guangzhou, most of the Sun Yan-sen University student data were intitally coded by six students especially Yuqing Zhao 赵玉倩, Guang Yu 于广, and Zhan Lin 林展 from Sun Yat-sen University working separately over a period of nine months. Linghuan Meng entered the Liangnan university student data over a period of six months.
[2] James LEE added 34,829 proprietary student records from Zhejiang University (23,795), Shanghai Jiaotong University (9,932), and Mingxian Institute (1,102). Mingyu ZHANG added 16,462 proprietary student records from Tsinghua University 1921-1951 and 346 from Yenching University 1947-1949.
[3] These ten tertiary institutions include seven universities, five of which are from published sources – Cheeloo (2,265), Fujen (2,239), Peking (12,885), Xiamen (798) and West China Union (464). The student records from the other two universities, Lingnan (2,168) and Zhongzheng (6,171), as well as two institutes – Liaodong Law School (2,113), and National Shenyang Medical School (1,381), and one specialized tertiary school – Fengtian Academy of Fine Arts (240) are all from publicly accessible unpublished sources.
[4] Haozhe Han and coders under his supervision added grandparents, great grandparents, and guarantors’ name, place of origin, and residential address to 17,281 existing Sun Yat-sen University records in the CUSD-ROC records while Chengcheng Liang under Bamboo’s and Chen Liang’s direction completed the coding of 17,139 Datong, St. Johns, and Hujiang students whose CUSD-ROC records did not originally include their parents’ and guarantors’ names.
[5] These also include 3224 student records for 2689 unique students from Beiyang University contributed by Li YANG. We continue to search actively for student data for Yingshi University in Jinhua, Zhejiang and are also hopeful of eventually gaining access to additional student records for Yenching University from the Peking University Archives.
In contrast to the CUSD-ROC which began in 2010, the CUSD-OS and CUSD-QBY are just five years old. In 2018, Bamboo personally entered Yuan Tung-li’s data collection of Chinese PhD students in the United States (1905-1960) and Europe (1907-1962) to begin the CUSD-OS. Subsequently other students under the direction of Yibei Wu and Li Yang did the data entry for Chinese students studying in Japan, and for Chinese non-PhD students studying in the USA and elsewhere. It was not until late 2022 / early 2023, that Yibei Wu added the CUSD-QBY to the CUSD based on her collection from the Academia Historia Office 國史館檔案史料 in Taibei, Taiwan of digitized student records for almost 100,000 Chinese students attending close to 300 proto-university tertiary institutions called daxuetang 大学堂, gaodengxuetang 高等学堂, or zhuanmenxuexiao 专门学校. These records include some 7000 regular university daxue 大学 students whose records should eventually be moved to the CUSD-ROC, but are currently located in the CUSD-QBY.
Outputs
Results from the CUSD-PRC have been published as a Chinese article, 无声的革命: 北京大学、苏州大学的学生社会来源 1952-2002 (China’s Silent Revolution: the Social Origins of Peking University and Soochow University Undergraduates, 1949-2002), in the January 2012 issue of 中国社会科学 (Chinese Social Science) and as a book with the same title in August 2013 by Beijing Joint Publishing. These publications inspired over one hundred news and editorial print articles, interviews, webcasts, and broadcasts posted on one thousand Chinese websites in 2012 and 2013 and continue five years later to receive attention in the popular media. The book version was awarded the 2014 third prize for Outstanding Achievement in Philosophy and Social Science by the Jiangsu Academy of Social Science. The article version was reprinted by 中国社会科学 in 中国社会科学创刊35周年论文选 in 2017 as an example of the best scholarship in the thirty-five years from 1980 to 2014.
We will soon publish in 2024/2025 a prequel book 梁 晨 (Chen LIANG), 任韵竹 (Yunzhu REN), 李中清 (James Z. LEE).《启山林者：中国现代知识阶层的形成，1912-1952》(Our forefathers and the formation of the modern Chinese academe). 中国社会科学文献出版社, on the social origins of university students from 1911 to 1949 based largely on student records from 34 universities collected in the CUSD-ROC, supplemented with employment records from the China Professional Occupation Datasets (CPOD).
The Jiangsu Academy of Social Science has also awarded two related articles《江山代有才人出，各领风骚数十年：中国精英教育四段论，1865-2014》. 《社会学研究》(Sociological Research) 第三期 (May/June): 48-70, and《民国上海大学生社会来源量化研究，1913-1949》, 《历史研究》(Historical Research) 第三期 (May): 76-92, a 2017 third prize (三等奖) and a 2020 second prize (二等奖) respectively for Outstanding Achievement in Philosophy and Social Science.
