CCME was formerly the Huaxuemen (Branch <strong>of</strong> Chemistry) in Gezhike (School <strong>of</strong><br />

Sciences) built up by the Royalty <strong>of</strong> Qing Dynasty in 1910. The Branch <strong>of</strong> Chemistry<br />

welcomed its first seven students on April 30th in 1910. Graduate education was<br />

started in 1917 and a group <strong>of</strong> fourteen students were admitted. In 1919, the Branch<br />

<strong>of</strong> Chemistry was renamed as Department <strong>of</strong> Chemistry. In 1952, chemistry<br />

departments in Tsinghua <strong>University</strong> and Yenching <strong>University</strong> were merged into <strong>PKU</strong><br />

and a new Department <strong>of</strong> Chemistry at <strong>PKU</strong> was formed. To emphasize the core role<br />

<strong>of</strong> molecule in chemical research, the department changed its name to College <strong>of</strong><br />

Chemistry and Molecular Engineering. In 2001, the faculty <strong>of</strong> Applied Chemistry from<br />

the School <strong>of</strong> Physical Sciences joined the chemistry research family.<br />
