In 1941, Hú Zǐhù 胡子笏 was asked to become the principal of the school. Nearly one hundred monks took the entrance exam in September of that year, and then began a four-month term as a "Buddhist Propagation Class (佛教弘化班)." Students graduated into the "Research Class (研究班)" on March of 1942. Hú returned to Běiijng in the fall of 1942 and set up a Tibetan language class at the Institute, but died the following year.
