History
The origin of the university lies in the Shenyang Light Industry Vocational School (沈阳轻工业高级职业学校) that was founded in 1950. The school moved from Shenyang, capital of Liaoning Province, to Qingdao in 1956 and was renamed Qingdao Rubber Industry School (青岛橡胶工业学校). In 1958 it became, under the name Shandong College of Chemical Industry (山东化工学院), directly subordinated to the Ministry of Chemical Industry. Since 1984 it was named Qingdao Institute of Chemical Industry (青岛化工学院). The range of subjects has been growing steadily since, including the incorporation of the Qingdao Arts and Crafts School (青岛工艺美术学校) in 2001. That same year, full university status was granted, followed by the adoption of the current name in March 2002. The large extension of the university to Laoshan district was completed in 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
“When the history of this period is written, [William Jennings] Bryan will stand out as one of the most remarkable men of his generation and one of the biggest political men of our country.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
