張英麟張仁黼張亨嘉 Zhang Yinglin, Zhang Renfu, and Zhang Hengjia

張亨嘉，字燮鈞，福建侯官人。 Zhang Hengjia, courtesy name Xiejun, was a native of Houguan in Fujian.

二十六年夏，親貴大臣信拳民有神術能攘外，飾詞入告，上疑之，命亨嘉察視。 In the summer of the twenty-sixth year, imperial kin and senior ministers believed the Boxers had divine arts that could repel foreigners; they embellished their reports; the emperor was doubtful and ordered Hengjia to investigate.

亨嘉知其不可恃，條上弭釁機宜甚悉，疏甫入而亂作。 Hengjia knew they could not be relied on and listed measures to quell the crisis in great detail; his memorial had just been received when disorder erupted.

尚書張百熙、榮慶既為學務大臣，別置大學總監督，亨嘉遂被命任校事，仍不離內廷職。 After Ministers Zhang Baixi and Rongqing became Ministers of Education, a separate post of University Superintendent was created; Hengjia was then ordered to manage university affairs while retaining his inner-court duties.

亨嘉為人敦實，嗜古精鑑賞。 Hengjia was solid and sincere in character, fond of antiquity and skilled in connoisseurship.

中興後命婦享高耄者，與詹事袁葆恆祖母郭氏二人而已。 After the restoration, only two titled ladies enjoyed such extreme longevity—Hengjia's mother and the grandmother Guo of Grand Mentor Yuan Baoheng.

宣統二年，卒，賜祭葬，諡文厚。 In Xuantong 2 he died; sacrificial burial was granted, and he was given the posthumous name Wenhou (Generous in Culture).

仁黼、亨嘉尤惓惓於明法修學，後先相望，其風采皆隱然可見焉。 Renfu and Hengjia were especially earnest in clarifying law and cultivating learning; succeeding one another in office, their bearing can still be dimly discerned.

旋別設學務處，以張亨嘉爲大學總監督，百熙權益分。 Soon a separate Board of Educational Affairs was established, with Zhang Hengjia as general superintendent of the university, and Baixi's authority was correspondingly divided.
