Soochow University (Chinese: 東吳大學) is a private university located in Taipei, Taiwan. Although Soochow University maintains a church and a Methodist minister in residence, it may be considered a secular institution. Soochow University is noted for studies in Comparative Law and Accounting.
The original Soochow University was founded by Methodists in Suzhou, Jiangsu, Qing dynasty in 1900 as a merger of three existing institutions: the Buffington Institute and the Kung Hang School in the city of Soochow (now spelled Suzhou), in Jiangsu Province, and the Anglo-Chinese College in Shanghai.
After the Chinese Civil War, members of the Soochow Alumni Association who fled to Taiwan established a new institution there in 1951. A law school was opened in 1954, and a full university was certified in 1971. As a new Soochow University was later founded on the original site in 1982, there would be a Soochow University in Taiwan and a Soochow University in Jiangsu.
The campus is home to the tomb of the prominent Chinese politician and diplomat Dr. Wang Ch'ung-hui, who fled to Taiwan after the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949.
In 1981,the first joint issued class-made magazine,which completely founded by students,called <Xu Ai>, has appeared in Soochow University.Students voiced political opinions as to temporal society,but the magazine quickly banned by the strong commend of college.However,in the next year,the political students soon published another critical magazine,<Monthly Political Magazine of Soochow University>,but was banned either,just result from publishing the advertisement of <Shen Geng>, which was a magazine out of the Chinese Nationalist Party'control.On 9th,September,1982,the"Academic Conference of Political Department"organized an audit for the seconded grade students about Taipei City Council. But the lead teacher Huang Erxuan was charged by leading a group of students to the council to listen the interpellation produced by the out-side-party senator.After that,he was fired in next year.
