5 years published in 2005, 27, teaching sites are not fixed. also in the fall of that year, followed 1,300 years of imperial examination system was officially abolished in China.
created by the Mr. Ma Xiangbo, by Yan Fu, Lee Teng-hui, Wunan Xuan, Chen Wang Road, Su Buqing, Xie Xide, etc. from generation to generation everyone's carefully nurtured and cared for, today, Fudan University has become our city, and even the country's most important institutions of higher learning.
on a well-known university, 100 years of history are not very worthy of glory. University of Cambridge, founded in the 13th century founder of the exact date is now difficult to trace, and even more than the history of Harvard University, the United States of its weight in the history of the country much longer. in our history of 5,000 years of civilization, in 1300 the history of imperial education system the old country, 100 years is short at best intermittent. However, past experience of 100 years is outside the concern of the Chinese nation in the pursuit of patient independence, prosperity, democracy and freedom of modern history. It can be said that the universities Memory and the entire nation of spiritual awakening and the memory of modern thought is entirely a coincidence.
University has always been a kind of the kind of freedom of the city have autonomy, such as judicial independence and so on. In Europe the process of the formation of modern nation-state, the university has also been integrated into the modern social system which, some degree of autonomy similar to national political power has been canceled , but remained the privilege of academic and teaching and the related rights, such as the degree awarded, and the University's academic and teaching but also because of the independence of the legal system of modern society and democratization to be strengthened. (Korea Water Act, as a whole, interest groups. University of privileges and have the responsibilities of the University, asked the university has its own purpose, character, honor, academic and moral standards. These requirements in the maintenance of a university and its history, social status and influence at the same time and also to maintain and guarantee the education of the whole society and academic norms, the normal order. (Korea Water Act China's pursuit of a century as inherent to a modern state, the day after suffering .1919 ridden on June 15, the founder of modern education in China Cai Yuanpei in the three basic concepts: First, universities should be independent and autonomous; Second, universities should have the freedom of thought and academic freedom; Third, universities need to appropriate academic and freedom of thought, freedom of social and political environment. (Korea Water Act No Cai still reverberated in the academic independence, freedom of thought, political education network without the fetters of Law hh advocated forgotten from the Our students are still recited day after day, the phrase comes from University willing to ask the lonely house, but suspected to be a daring thinker.
new ideals will meet the new setbacks. On the one hand, the old system is still seriously hindered the administration scheme with the University's independent spirit; another , the society's business, secular universities are increasingly eroding the spiritual world. For some people, today's universities, but the extension of government administration; and for others, college seems more proper way of making money should be company. When the Besides university system itself faces a number of major reforms.
the pendulum of history has placed over 100 years, has experienced numerous failures, setbacks, resistance and struggle, the Chinese people once again to stand on the threshold of the era, national the first time such a revival of the dream to truly show in front of each of us. If the university's first 100 years of twists and turns of our nation's memory is a record modern awakening, then it is also destined to the second 100 years and our nation in the world linked to the great rejuvenation. Yiqi former President of Tsinghua University President once said, 100 years of independence, prosperity, democracy and freedom under the influence, many of the master out from Fudan University Park; in the new 100 years, the new ideal should encourage more national elite from here to China and to the world. < br> Starting today, we are well-known universities in this city opened a second century of history. let us borrow Wang Guowei Chen Yinque write a paragraph of text on the monument donated to it and it represents the Chinese intellectual community: Annex I: Ideal University and the University Ideal
published in September 26, 2005, Chinese intellectuals as a whole a great event.
my career in the quest for knowledge is very fortunate to three well-known domestic universities fate. my undergraduate years spent at Tongji University, after graduating from the Department of Thermal Engineering, Tongji University , then transferred to a second degree amendment journalism department of Fudan University, which lasted two years, .2000, in the Wen Wei Po as a financial news editor, I get the opportunity to participate at Peking University's China Center for Economic Research, ;, it is also able to live and study at Peking University for a semester. Here, incidentally, by Miss Hu Shuli, initiated, taught the auspices of Professor Lin Yifu, national reputation of the scholars have recommended. I recommend those, one is the current party secretary of Fudan University, Professor Qin Shaode, another is the current Deputy Secretary of Shanghai World Expo Professor Zhou Hanmin. The former is when I am studying at Fudan Tuition teachers, which met my mentor at work, I get a lot both of them taught.
University is a blend of modern society and culture where the elite, it is known as the tower. , respectively, bears the imprint of their own. However, in today's day, I still have to say to my own very limited knowledge is concerned, regardless of Tongji, Fudan University, Peking University, or from the ideal of the university is also true a large gap.
University is a very unique social being, in the increasingly fine division of labor, it is difficult to be integrated into any part, it has taught, there are tests, there is school, but compared with the general education, university education, at least in theory there is no clear objectives and uniform It has laboratories, there are issues, there are projects, but compared with the general scientific research institutes, universities, scientific research does not serve a specific purpose and needs, university research, at least in theory, not to solve a real problem, but to pursue a more pure , compared to government agencies such public places, universities do not need to generate discussion and debate on the conclusions, make decisions, because the exchange of views in itself.
I thus believe that, if society as an organism, like the words , the functions of the University is similar to one of the others have clear definitions, but only there may be diametrically opposed to the idea.
this sense, the ideal university should continue to contribute to society with the original value of the ideas and knowledge, and through the cultivation of talent to spread these ideas and knowledge, thereby enhancing the community ideas and knowledge. And an ideal university should be able to ensure the Shang Shu ideals of the place and the system to achieve complex, in my opinion, it should at least contain the following three elements mm
First, academic independence .
If we agree that the function of universities in society is normal function to determine whether a person had gastrointestinal problems, and proposed treatment, but in many cases we can not decide which idea is ;'s, spectacle: the radical revolutionaries advocated a scientific and democratic thinkers Chen and stubbornly conservative dragging Professor Gu Hongming long braids can be in the same classroom instruction, live together in the same campus and still pass as his brother's wife.
course , thought not entirely good or bad is not the level of authenticity, but not to any individuals and institutions can be determined, only the results obtained through equal competition, which is commonly known as To ensure this, the University will need a set of academic independence of the mechanisms and practices to ensure that the power, status, money, fame and other external forces can not interfere with normal academic activities.
Second, the spirit of openness.
except in a very a few flashes of genius, the vast majority of innovation comes from the different ideas of knowledge generated by the collision sparks confrontation. Therefore, the University can continue to contribute to the value with original ideas and knowledge, we must always maintain an open spirit.
my ignorance, there is no university study tour in Europe and the experience, but as far as I know, almost all the world's leading universities and our universities the most obvious difference is that they may be open in the spring of .2004, I by the text Meeting Xinmin United Press Group to send, go to Europe to study media management, have the opportunity to study journalism at University of Gothenburg, Sweden a week. Although such a short time the University of the West can not have a comprehensive understanding of the system, but the most intuitive feeling is that it open. Gothenburg University may not be considered prestigious in Europe, but like other well-known universities in the West, it is not walls, not even a single university is a clear regional boundaries. If you ask to the people on the street, University of Gothenburg Where? he can only give you that direction, and draw a general area on the map because of its teaching building, library, administration building sporadically scattered in the Gothenburg city center, building and building to building, mixed with the churches, public University of green space and other matters outside the house, so that the end of training we want to find a landmark when the pictures are very difficult places. made me impressed is that the University community in public places is completely open, as long as the prior application, Any person (including those of us non-Swedish citizens) can be to the university classroom lectures, and engage in activities to university libraries to borrow, seems to have not heard of one that charges. library book store is also very interesting, only in different subject classification, regardless of language, and no special Swedish books and in the commercial spirit is to promote China's reform and opening up economic and social development of the most important force, however, brings the utility business is also greatly eroded our thinking and intellectual. a period of time flying around the but day by day. Take the higher education that many people criticize the ;? I suspect most of the critics call the dissemination of theoretical knowledge of the place, also in the continuous development of theoretical knowledge, the university should be closely linked to the so-called correct, incomplete or obsolete as gospel truth, it is my understanding of the real students experience in journalism discussion. I asked those Benedictine College Shanghai Campus, to be a good journalist is the most important quality to cultivate that? My answer is: for you, nothing is more important than reading a good book the! when I look in from most of the Benedictine College Shanghai Campus could see that they are so disappointed, they had hope that I can impart some of their future usefulness can get by writing editing capability to improve interview . They should have written the news for the time spent in the effort to read a few books, because other news organizations after they graduate into the interview and writing some time.
University originated in Europe, after a long-term social change and their own development, the world's two major universities to form a pattern that is government funded mainly Professors within the . As many of our society China's university system now. Objectively speaking, both the Chinese University and the American model in the European model the main factors, but have not learned the essence of both, the key is that our universities have not really practice much academic independence , spirit of openness and non-utilitarian nature of the three most important ideal of college.
some people will point out that the hardship suffered by Chinese universities like the current Chinese society, like many other matters, rooted in China's political, economic and cultural system. Indeed, without a good social environment, it is difficult birth of the ideal university, it is difficult to cultivate the ideal of the University. However, this is actually a first, the chicken or the egg problem: In my opinion, no one ideal for a large number of outstanding universities full of excellence, even with an ideal social environment, can not bring the Chinese people has never given a Similarly, the ideal college and university is the ideal shaping each other's.
this master master, there have been 100 years ago, Cai, Ma Bo, Lee Teng-hui is also.

Annex II:
dialogue, party secretary of Fudan University, Professor Qin Shaode
reported that independent enrollment interview was successfully held in Guanghua Building, Fudan University, a total of 1185 students participated in the interview. The interview is the key to an independent enrollment. comprehensive evaluation by the expert interviews, eventually 300 students pre-enrolled. pre-admission results has been formed in the April 5, and yesterday I began to notice the students.
Post reporters interviewed yesterday, party secretary of Fudan University, Professor Qin Shaode.
Post: Fudan University, for what purpose this is to take the initiative Try an independent enrollment reform?
Qin Shaode: To be honest, this is a any reform, Fudan Shanghai each year are also attracting the best students and the country. But I think as long as the college entrance examination this does not change with the baton, so now we talk every day, fundamentally reversed. If, as we based Fudan students so schools are not such a good take this step, it is even harder to the other universities. So, last year we took the initiative to the Ministry of Education pilot request, we believe that This is a new way to exercise, went to Yale University study has investigated two summers, to see how they select high-quality students. We also through many other channels to understand how world-class university is to recruit undergraduate students.
university admissions abroad, there are two points to particularly impressed me: the first is a large autonomy of the school, they are based on the training objectives to choose their own students, and we are now faced with a student papers, Fudan is nothing more than the difference score higher. Another point is people taking a very detailed work, generally do a few months, they have a special agency responsible for the enrollment of students of all aspects of study, students often begin to apply for half a year ago, to provide a wide range of information, but also availability of qualified nominees, the procedure is very strict. In addition, world-class universities around the world will send people to go to the interview, found in the world's best students.
Post: Please describe themselves on the Fudan University the training objectives, and if you any
Qin Shaode: Fudan University is to train Dongliangzhicai, leadership. our own high expectations of training personnel, and we hope that through an independent enrollment goals for us to recruit more students.
Morning Post: The whole selection process has now ended, how do you evaluate the?
Qin Shaode: For the first time this year, the pilot, I have two things to say.
first, according to the original program, we expect the whole selection process and in control in the successful completion, without any outside, the result is very satisfactory. I am also very excited, this test is valuable and rewarding. We will make a comprehensive summary in due course, the Ministry of Education, Shanghai and the whole social reporting.
Second, social response so strong, and there are so many different opinions. Here are some from our expectations. I think we are all on their own different perspective on this reform. For example, many university presidents gave us warm and encouraging, Fudan University teachers are also very in favor of the reform of school admissions. within the education sector in general agree on this, which including a considerable part of the Secondary School. As people in society in general, they do not much about the meaning of Enrollment. especially the parents of the candidates, their concerns focused on the recruitment process is open, fair and just on.
Post: This is indeed a matter of public opinion on this focal point.
Qin Shaode: if we design the program with Chinese characteristics, then what is in the design. We know that in the current China, this question should be handled more carefully than the foreign universities. the last interview, the Shanghai Education Commission has sent two supervisors to Fudan supervision. Fudan University has accumulated a wealth of Zhao Sheng experience and good social reputation, and we cherish this reputation. To ensure the effective implementation of the reform program, we have to set up a leading group headed by principals to develop the implementation details and plans, the implementation process of the reform program to do the work in the orderly selection, selection of programs open, fair, and taking the results of the selection method of publicity.
our implementation of this program, Fudan University has set up a leading group of Independent Enrollment; School Admissions Office is responsible for the implementation of the program, the school discipline inspection and supervision department is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the program; in the process of implementation of this program make the program open and fair selection method, taking results of the public.
Morning Post: The other side of fairness is only employed tens of minutes the interview on the decision whether to admit a student will not be too hasty?
Qin Shaode: do exist in society fear and misunderstanding in this respect, in fact, our enrollment of students, not only ask them to provide all secondary school examination results during the reference, but also specifically Following a written qualifying examination required. day of the interview, teachers and students grouped identified, interview the teacher about an hour to see the students application materials. It is usually reflected in their performance and capabilities of the supporting materials, such as the application letter, high school transcripts, and ability, letters of recommendation, work and so on. before they enter the interview room, the teachers have a basic understanding of the students, and five different disciplines and from their point of view the teacher to examine student's talent potential, to see whether the requirements of Fudan University, their questions are targeted. Originally, we very much hope that the students admitted directly by the interview, they do not need to take the exam. but the authorities out of careful consideration, or require them to participate college entrance examination, their examination results will be used as reference for us to factor in admissions.
this point, I think there is a concept must be changed: Many people think that using the same yardstick to measure different people is the most fair. In fact, with a multi-ruler measure of a man may be from the more recent real justice. I interview our teachers, we have the talent to recruit potential is, not who is now a talent.
Post : After a pilot year, Enrollment for next year you have any ideas?
Qin Shaode: We hope that the Ministry of Education Fudan greater autonomy, but also hope that the community gives us a more relaxed independent enrollment in public space. If the Ministry of Education agree, we are very happy to independent enrollment in the pilot further expand not only the expansion of enrollment, but also expand the regional scope. Although this may greatly increase the cost of our enrollment, but Yale and Harvard universities are taking the global enclave candidates, to find Talent is like this, of course, but also the support of admissions across the country.
my ideal is that the pilot through continuous in-depth, and strive after three to five years, Fudan University, made the admission of a major breakthrough. I now very fervent hope that more schools to join brother, the ranks of our reform, we are willing to introduce them without reservation to our lessons, but I hope that self-selection of different schools is not the same way, so that all future can complement each other. I am optimistic that, if the country 30 to 50 universities in particular, major universities, to achieve self-enrollment, then we criticized for years, At that time, China will see a secondary school graduates also received the University of 4,5 a case of the admission notice.
Morning Post: In addition to Fairness in the allocation of resources, many discussions. China's universities are state run, if you look at the different provinces and universities for enrollment between urban and rural distribution of equity issues?
Qin Shaode: This is a very important problem. I think that China's current reform of college admission system the primary focus of attention should focus on the future development in the country to train more innovative talent shortage, and not the pursuit of absolute justice. If you want to pursue absolutely fair, I see only two ways, first, a paper was the country, according to a unified score admission; Second, in accordance with the provinces to the average distribution of the population of graduates taking places. but I dare say, this will waste a lot of valuable national resources of higher education our nation. still in the early stages of development, we do not have the financial resources to pursue such an absolute fair. Education is not compulsory, after all, it should not take too many features of social security.
the other hand, I strongly believe that From now on, the state should finance investment in areas such as clearly tilted to the Midwest and poor areas, especially in basic education. My point is, let everyone enjoy the higher education is possible, but We should ensure that poor rural areas children can attend school regularly, to ensure not to a school-age children out of school. In addition, the State should also do a great effort to support the University of the Midwest. Fudan University has its own counterpart support the school, we would like to improve the central and western regions level of education and do their best.
Morning Post: a period of time has caused a great clamor of the China. We are afraid that should be cool-headed analysis of what the so-called educational problems of corruption and arbitrary charges, I am very willing to express my frank opinion without reservation. But the problem is too great, we have the opportunity to be specifically discussed. Today, I talk about two issues: first, education may is an industry, but it can not industry. industrialization means to profit the primary goal, not a world famous university is run to make money, Fudan University, and never will profit as their main objective. Of course, the University In addition to teaching, often also have their own research as well as the industry, some research projects that should be transformed into commodities, the University of Industry should also come to operate according to market rules. These should be from different perspectives. but the university itself is certainly not should exist for profit. and basic education can not even talk about industrialization, the state financial input is to come up to do.
The strong current of public opinion reflected in the university do not deny that there are unauthorized charges, but I think the reason causing this kind of social awareness, I am afraid that one important reason is that the current management of the University of charge there is a big problem. The national policy not to charge local collection instead of fees collected and nobody. In addition, the University of serious charges, is totally unjustified. As Fudan University, I can responsibly say that we never had the case of arbitrary charges. so many years we did not move over a .
