东南大学于1921年7月正式挂牌后就着手邀请海内外知名学者来宁讲学。海外的6位专家中算美国的杜威和德国的杜里舒最有名,而在国内的9位专家中,双栖于政坛和学坛的领风人物梁启超最为耀眼。他不仅讲课时间最长,而且引起的争论亦最多,以至于在四年之后东大教授胡先辅还以“一方请梁任公演讲,一方学衡社即批评戊戌人物”为例,证明东南大学有学术自由的传统。 Southeast University in July 1921 formally listed on the invitation to invite well-known scholars at home and abroad to Ning lectures. Among the 6 experts overseas, Dewey in the United States and Duri Shu in Germany are the most famous. Of the 9 experts in the country, Liang Qichao, the leading figure in political circles and academic circles, is the most dazzling. He not only taught for the longest time, but also caused the most controversy, so that four years later, Professor Hu Xianfu of Dongda University also called for “one party asked Liang Rengong to speak, one party to study society that criticizes the people of Wu Xu” as an example, proving that Southeast University has The tradition of academic freedom.
