History
Handan College established in December, 1905, has been operating in the higher education for over 60 years. The college has endured several historical periods from the end of Qing Dynasty to the foundation of the People’s Republic of China. Thus, the education policies of each period have imprinted their influences on its development from a primary normal school of Handan County to a junior senior normal school and to a university of Handan City.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Universal history is the history of a few metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
