Abstract The Journal of Lingnan， a famous periodical issued by the Lingnan University in Guangzhou from 1929 to 1951， witnessed the indigenization of that Christian Private College academically. In the trend of modern knowledge communicating from the West to China， the journal concentrated on introducing Western academic theories and methodologies. It presented a plural modern academic situation by publishing the articles in the fields of sociological investigations， comparative cultural studies， South China botanic studies， and South China geographical studies. Many outstanding articles in the studies of Chinese intellectual history， literary history， political and economic history， art history， philology and linguistics (dialects) reflect the significant academic character of combining traditional classical interpretation with textual research and modern social scientific methods. And the Lingnan cultural study is the most special field for the journal. It could be concluded that the journal won a high academic reputation increasingly for the Lingnan University and South China academia.
