“九一八事变”发生后,燕大师生积极参与抗日救亡运动,走在了北平高校的前列;燕大学生成立学生抗日委员会,到北平各处组织演讲,检查抵制日货,发起爱国运动周,并赴京请愿;燕大教师亦成立中国教职员抗日救国会,编辑中日问题丛书,发起募捐抵制日货,并参加北平抗日组织;燕大师生也纷纷提出实业救国,团结民众等应对方略,为抗日救亡献计献策。燕大虽为教会学校,但师生同样极具民族主义情怀,为救国运动不遗余力,也是基督教博爱精神的体现。 After the “September 18 Incident”, Yan teachers and students took an active part in the anti-Japanese national salvation movement and walked in the forefront of Peiping Universities. The Yan University students set up a student anti-Japanese committee to organize speeches throughout Peking to examine boycott of Japanese goods and launch a patriotic Movement Week, and go to Beijing to petition; Yantai Teachers also set up the China Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association, edited series of Sino-Japanese issues, launched a fund-raising boycott of Japanese goods, and participated in the Peiping anti-Japanese organization; Yan teachers and students have also put forward the industrial salvation, unite the public Deal with the strategy and give advice and suggestions for resisting Japan and the country. Although Yan is a church school, teachers and students are also extremely nationalistic, sparing no efforts to save the country and embody the fraternity of Christianity.
