Ts"ai Yuan-p"ei, when he was inaugurated as the President of Beijing University in 1917, set about the university reformation project to realize his educational ideals. Some important aspects of his project are as follows: First, he reformed the university"s disciplinary system. He thought that the university should be respected as a center of academic researches not as a programatic institution, and that the basic disciplines such as the humanities and the natural sciences should have priorities to the applied sciences in the disciplinary system of university. Second, he established the principle of democratic management of the university. He considered the professors as the subjects of university management. They could be admitted to present freely their opinions about the university affairs and to perform their academic talents without any interventions, but at the same time they should have the responsibilities for their judgments and resolutions. This was a very progressive and meaningful step for the democratization of university rule. Third, he gave the admission opportunities to women. He tried to destroy the Confucian gender unequality tradition in China, and for a method of doing this he admitted female students to be registered at the university. This epoch-making resolution led other universities to introduce co-education system and with this change the gender equality in elite education began to be taken a step forward. Forth, he broke down the old conventional customs still remaining within the thoughts and behaviors of students. He suggested that university"s foremost role should be the one as an research institution. So he prepared the academic conditions under which the university students could strive for the research, and promoted all sorts of students" study groups. But He also similarly emphasized that the university students should hold in their minds the moralities, the sympathies with people, the respectabilities for labor, the scientific spirits, and the democratic political consciousness. To make a long story short, though there were many other reformation programmes besides those above mentioned, Ts"ai Yuan-p"ei’s reformation can be summarized as the modernization of university education and institution. However, his purpose was not limited to university reformation such as. He endeavored further to reform contemporary Chinese feudal society and compete the advanced imperialist nation-states as possible. University reformation was only a method for these aims. For doing these, he wanted to cultivate high-educated elites, confirming that they should enlighten people and establish modernity in China so as to transit it to modern nation-state. To him, university students were pioneer intellectuals assigned the modernizing duty for Chinese Republic. Ts"ai Yuan-p"ei wanted to create the enlightened and progressive students in this context and milieu, so Beijing University came to be the cradle of May Fourth Movement, in which the university students finally was to lead that Movement.
