## Summary

Tsinghua opened in 1911 as Tsing Hua Imperial College, a preparatory school, funded with returned Boxer Indemnity money, for students going to study in the United States. It became National Tsing Hua University in 1928, and during the war with Japan it joined Peking and Nankai universities to form the National Southwest Associated University in Kunming. After China's 1952 restructuring it became mainly a polytechnic training engineers, and it has since rebuilt programmes in the sciences, humanities, economics and management.
