China Medical University (Chinese: 中國醫藥大學; pinyin: zhōng guó yī yào dà xué) was founded in 1958 as China Medical College (中國醫藥學院). In 2003, the institution transformed itself to China Medical University. Today the university enrolls approximately 8000 students in its Taichung, Taiwan campus.
Although its English name is the same as a university in Shenyang, Mainland China, the Chinese name of the mainland university is different: 中國醫科大學.
Famous quotes containing the words china, medical and/or university:
“Consider the China pride and stagnant self-complacency of mankind. This generation inclines a little to congratulate itself on being the last of an illustrious line; and in Boston and London and Paris and Rome, thinking of its long descent, it speaks of its progress in art and science and literature with satisfaction.... It is the good Adam contemplating his own virtue.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Unusual precocity in children, is usually the result of an unhealthy state of the brain; and, in such cases, medical men would now direct, that the wonderful child should be deprived of all books and study, and turned to play or work in the fresh air.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
