本文探討光復初期(1945~1950)臺灣大學陸志鴻校長治校特色及文學院的發展狀況。陸氏隨前任校長羅宗洛前來接收帝大工學部，非屬於臺灣行政長官公署系統人士，其得繼任校長，乃由於行政長官陳儀向教育部長朱家驊之推薦。陸氏性格溫婉，頗受省政當局之脅制，大學一級單位主管之任命權為長官公署所攫取，校內、外界線趨於模糊。本文探索重點：一、二二八事變在陸氏任內發生，負責處理文學院院務之林茂生教授不幸遇害，此一不幸事件與前述景況皆有關聯。本文根據直接、間接史料，重探此一事件之真相。二、討論首任文學院院長錢歌川之得任經過與到任後之措施。錢氏得長官公署之同意獲任，因其非久任大學教職之學者，驟然主持臺大文學院，對教師之聘任、研究工作之推動，有不盡善處。三、二二八事變後，長官公署遭撒廢，公署官員及文教勢力大量轉移至臺大文學院、本文以許壽裳前來中文系任教為主軸，對此一現象稍加鋪陳，以明其時政、學關係離合之特色。最後，探討陸氏在光復初期臺大校史上的地位，特別以文學院為例，說明此一「向下沉淪」時期的功過得失。

Historians of modem Taiwan history generally ignored the problem of the history of National Taiwan University (Taidai), especially during the transition period from the end of Japanese colonialism to the loss of the Mainland to the Communist regime. The history of Taidai and her Liberal Arts College is not only about one university, one college, but also an important issue of Chinese academic history and the cultural history of Taiwan. This article focuses on the second president Lu Chih-houng's (陸志鴻) administration of Taidai, and the evolution of the Liberal Arts College affairs. The main discoveries are: first of all, Lu's appointment as the President was supported by Governor Chen-yi (陳儀), the ruler of Taiwan province, and the political power extended thus to the campus of Taidai. Second, "the February twenty-eighth incident" happened during this period, and professor Lin Mu-shen (林茂生), acting dean of the Liberal Arts College, was arrested and killed by political authorities. What was the role of President Lu and Taidai in this tragic affair? Third, Chien Ge-chuan (錢歌川), the first dean of the college, took office just after the incident. What were his administrative ideas and practical methods? Fourth, the instruction and research works of the time is rarely mentioned, as this was a transition period of considerable turmoil.
