Located in Kaifeng, a famous historic city which used to be the capital of China during seven different dynasties, Henan University, founded in 1912, was originally named as Preparatory School for Further Study in Europe and America. Henan University stood together with Tsinghua Preparatory School for Further study in America (Tsinghua University) and Shanghai Nanyang Public School (Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Xi’an Jiao Tong University) just like three legs of a tripod, Henan University was one of the three major schools to prepare students for overseas study. Its name went through several changes including Zhongzhou University (1923), Henan Zhongshan University (1927), Provincial Henan University (1930), National Henan University and so on. In the 1940s Henan University had developed into an influential comprehensive university with 6 schools.
