摘　　要：1910—1913年,竺可桢作为“庚款留学生”到美国伊利诺伊大学求学,这构成了他人生中独特的“伊利诺伊岁月”。基于竺可桢就读该校期间的成绩单,文章对他留美早期的学习情况进行了具体而全面的重建,主要展示了他三年中所修读的课程和这些课程的详细信息。作为一个农学专业的本科生,竺可桢的学业十分忙碌,但表现得并不出众,有些课程的成绩还较差;但这些课程的学习仍构筑了他日后踏足气象学领域的知识基础,对他后来的人生有直接影响。这些新史料的发现,有助于更丰满地刻画竺可桢这位学术大家的历史形象。From 1910 to 1913,Chu Coching(竺可桢Zhu Kezhen)studied at the University of Illinois in the United States(US)as a foreign student funded by the Boxer Indemnity Scholarship.This opportunity constituted a unique“Illinois moment”in his life.Based on transcripts from his study in the university,this paper has made a concrete and comprehensive reconstruction of his early study situation in the US,mainly showing the courses he took during the three years and the details of these courses.As an undergraduate majoring in agriculture,Chu Coching was kept very busy with his studies,but he did not perform excellently,and his grades in some courses were even not very good.However,the study of these courses built the knowledge foundation to enable him to set foot in the field of meteorology in the future,and had a direct impact on his later life.As a supplement to existing research,this paper reveals some newly discovered historical materials that help to flesh out the portrayal of the historical Zhu Kezhen,an academic leader in his field.
