Soochow University refers to two distinct universities: one located in Suzhou, Jiangsu, People's Republic of China, and the other in Taipei, Taiwan (Republic of China). Though both universities share the same English name, they are named differently in Chinese. The original Soochow University and the university currently in Taiwan are named Dongwu Daxue (東吳大學), after the general region in which Suzhou is located. The university in the PRC is named Suzhou Daxue (苏州大学) after the city of Suzhou.

Famous quotes containing the word university:
“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.”
