  ABSTRACT: Harvard University was an important overseas training base for mathematical talents in modern China. In the early 20th century, a group of Chinese students went to Harvard University to study modern mathematics. After they returned to China, they presided over or participated in building early university mathematics departments, and also participated in compiling mathematics textbooks, unifying mathematical terminology in Chinese, establishing mathematical academic groups, and founding research institutions, making a seminal contribution to the institutionalization of modern mathematics in China. Through the graduates it educated, Harvard University had a significant impact on the development of modern mathematics in China in the first half of the 20th century.
