胡適的精神
自由與理性 周質平
胡適（1891～1962），現代中國著名的學者，思想家，政論家，外交家，自由民主和人權的鬥士。生在上海，死在臺北。
在中國現代化的過程中，胡適是一個中心人物。從提倡白話文到批判舊禮教，從“整理國故”到“全盤西化”，他不但是提倡者，也是總結成果的人。就學術研究而言，胡適的影響及於中國哲學，史學，文學各個層面。甚至於近代中國語法研究，胡適也是少數先驅之一。
就社會改革而言，從喪禮改革到婦女解放，從個人主義到“好人政治”，這些口號和運動都是和胡適分不開的。他幾乎成了二十世紀初期，中國新思潮的總滙：因此，新文化運動所引起的種種結果，都或多或少的歸結到了胡適的身上。在一段相當長的時期中，胡適成了一個不是“首功”就是“罪魁”的兩極人物。
在濁浪滔天，充斥著殺伐革命的中國現代史上，胡適代表的是清流和理性。他不相信權威，不相信捷徑，不相信有“包醫百病”的“萬應靈丹”，不相信社會主義，也不相信“知難行易”的三民主義。他相信要怎麼收穫，先怎麼栽；有幾分證據，說幾分話。他相信“功不唐捐”，努力不會白費；他相信“容忍比自由還更重要”。
在胡適的著作中，雖不乏對中國文化嚴厲的批評，和對西洋文明的熱烈讚揚，但這種種都絲毫不影響他對中國文化的依戀和愛護。他一生的終極關懷始終是中國文化的重建和再造。
胡適思想在今日依舊是所有獨裁和暴力的死敵。我們深信：只要中國人對自由，民主，理性，科學的追求不死，胡適思想就有它不死的時代意義。

Hu Shih Memorial Hall
The Hu Shih Memorial Hall is located at the site of Dr. Hu Shih's residence on the Academic Sinica campus in Nankang, where he lived from 198 to 1960 while serving as Academic Sinica's President. While in Taiwan, Dr. Hu not only worked to further the development of Academia Sinica's research institutes, but also founded the National Council on Science Development, while striving to promote scholarship and train leading researcher. Moreover, he joined Taiwan's struggle for freedom of speech, thereby displaying his personal philosophy and long-term commitment to the cause of liberty.
Following his death in 1962, Academia Sinica formed a "Hu Shih Memorial Hall Management Committee," with the Memorial Hall being formally established on December 10 of that year. On Auguest 5, 1964, the Management Committee decided to use NT$200,000 of a fund donated by Mr. C V. Starr to set up an exhibition room on the right side of the Hall, which was formally established on the third anniversary of Dr. Hu Shih's death in 1965. Academia Sinica and the Taipei City Government also cooperated to construct the Hu Shih Park near the site of his grave, with work being completed in February 1974.
In January 1998, the Memorial Hall became formally affiliated with the Institute of Modern History. The exhibition room has been renovated, and topical exhibits are now being displayed. The Memorial Hall reopened on December 17, 2001.
Hu Shih (1891-1962)
Hu Shih was born in Shanghai on December 17, 1891. His early education took place at a village school in southern Anhui province, but he received his modern education in Shanghai while also acquiring knowledge of classical Chinese through self-study. In 1910, he passed an examination for a Boxer Indemnity Scholarship to study in the United States. He attended Cornell University from 1910 to 1915, where he received his B.A., and Columbia University from 1915 to 1917, where he earned his Ph.D.After returning to China in 1917, Dr. Hu joined the faculty of National Peking University as Professor of History of Chinese Philosophy. Subsequently, he served concurrently as Professor of Chinese Literature and Dean of the College of Humanities, holding both positions from 1932 to 1937. After University, serving from 1946 to 1948. He was also deeply involved in publishing, formulating a reorganization plan for the Commercial Press (Shanghai), editing magazines, publishing articles in various newspapers, and serving as chairman of the Translation and Editing Committee under the auspices of the China Foundation for Promotion of Education and Culture. He also contributed to China's modern development by serving as war time ambassador to the United Stats from 1938 to 1942, and as President of Academia Sinica in Taiwan from 1958 to 1962.
Dr. Hu is best known as the founder of the Chinese Literary Renaissance - a movement that strove to discontinue the use of classical Chinese by adopting the Chinese vernacular language for writing works of literature as well as educating China's youth. This movement, started by Dr. Hu when he was a student at Cornell and Columbia, soon received nationwide support and eventually proved to be successful. Since 1921, all textbooks have been written using the vernacular, and a new Chinese vernacular literature has become one of the main elements of modern Chinese culture. Dr. Hu's efforts in promoting the reformation of Chinese literature also strongly shaped the development of modern Chinese culture and society, while his work in introducing the scholarship of John Dewey had a major influence in Chinese thought and education during the May 4th Movement.
Dr. Hu was the first Chinese poet to compose and publish a volume of poems composed in the vernacular (1920). He was also the first scholar to use vernacular Chinese to write a history o Chinese philosophy, and won renown as for taking the lead in applying scientific methods of historical research and textual criticism to the study of traditional Chinese novels and the geographical classic Shui-ching chu (Commentary on the Classics of Waterways). He published many books and articles in Chinese, including An Outline of the History of Chinese Philosophy (1919), The Development of the Logical Method in Ancient China (1922), and The History of Living Chinese Literature (1928), among others. Many of his writings have recently been re-issued in Taiwan and mainland China, including the following works published by Academia Sinica's Hu Shih Memorial Hall: Hu Shih's Hand-written Manuscripts (10 volumes; 1966-1970), Hu Shih's Collected Works (37 volumes; 1986), and Hu Shih's Diaries (18 volumes; 1989). In addition, A Chronological Biography of Hu Shih (10 volumes), which includes many of Hu's writings, was published in 1984.
