China Foundation for the Promotion of Education and Culture—a non-governmental institution—was in charge of the Boxer Indemnity returned by the USA. Since it was established in 1925, it had been aiding many Chinese cultural and educational undertakings, among which, aiding libraries was one of the important programs. From 1925 to 1949, the Foundation aided respectively the library of Beijing University, the library of Qinghua University, Boone Library School and the library of Science & Technology Society. These aids pushed the development of libraries in China at that time.
