About
Aurora University (Université l'Aurore, pinyin: Zhèndàn Dàxué) was a Catholic university in Shanghai from 1903 to 1952. It was founded with funding from Ma Xiangbo, with the goal of developing translators capable of dialogue between traditional Chinese ideas and language and the ideas of Western modernity. It later expanded in its mission and by the 1940s was one of the largest of Shanghai's private universities.
