摘　　要：叶企孙在中国近代物理学的引进、扎根和培植过程中发挥了巨大的作用。包括他和胡刚复在内的几位中国物理学事业先驱都有在哈佛大学留学的经历,本文分析了哈佛大学物理系实验性物理传统的形成及其影响,通过档案资料考察了叶企孙的博士学位修习情况和当时的学术环境,借助量子力学口述史料探讨了叶企孙在哈佛的一些同学选择成为理论物理学家的学术背景,分析了叶企孙与他们学术生涯不同的原因和合理性,试图揭示叶企孙的留学经历与他后来物理教育实践的一些关联线索。Ye Qisun(C. S. Yeh) played a significant role in the introduction, rooting, and cultivation of modern physics in China. Several pioneers of Chinese physics, including Ye and Hu Gangfu(K. F. Hu), have had the experience of studying abroad at Harvard University. This article analyzes the formation and influence of the experimentally oriented tradition at the Department, examines Ye Qisun's doctoral degree program and the academic environment at that time by the University archives. With the help of the Archive for the History of Quantum Physics, this article also explores the academic background of some of Ye's Harvard classmates who chose to become theoretical physicists, and analyzes the reasons for and rationality of Ye Qisun's different academic career path. It attempts to reveal connections between Ye Qisun's study abroad experience and his later physics educational practices.
