The difference between natural science or theology is not obvious these days. People always classify unexplained things as "miracles". Whether it is a natural phenomenon or a real "miracles", some things are actually unexplainable by science until the 21st century. Therefore, we cannot blame people these days for being ignorant. Even the smartest people have their limitations of the times.
Springfield Institute of Technology has done a great job in this regard. In order to promote natural sciences, Springfield Institute of Technology and Junma Laboratory have conducted a full-scale cooperation. Many researchers in Junma Laboratory teach at Springfield Institute of Technology, and each week there are special cars running between New York and Boston.
Springfield Institute of Technology's emphasis on natural science has also affected the concepts of other higher education institutions in the United States to a certain extent. For example, Harvard University and MIT are considering reducing the importance of theology and investing more energy in the promotion of natural sciences.
"We are ready for anything to talk about in the Olympics." Franklin didn't want to waste his time at the Olympics, and it was a big deal to finalize the whereabouts of graduates as soon as possible.
Although Franklin wants to find some awkwardness for Li Mu, in the main business, Franklin still supports Li Mu's work very much. Li Mu and Franklin have reached a consensus that the Olympics cannot affect the normal operation of Springfield Institute of Technology, nor can it affect the students' learning. Therefore, in order to collect enough of the 2,500 volunteers promised by Li Mu, Franklin still did a lot of work, and even asked some freshmen in the second half of the year to enroll in advance.
This idea is good, at least it will allow freshmen to adapt to the campus of the Institute of Technology in advance, which will allow them to start their college life faster.
"Next week, the German team will arrive in New York, and then they will be in the Polytechnic Institute. You must do a good job in reception." Li Mu still reminded Li Mu that Edward Jeffrey had reminded Li Mu that Li Mu should ensure that no major mistakes occur.
"No problem, how many people are there in the German team?" Franklin asked casually. To do a good job in reception, you must first know the number of Germans.
this--
Li Mu really doesn't know how many people there are in the German team. Edward Jeffrey didn't say it, and Li Mu didn't ask either, so Li Mu could only answer honestly: "I don't know!"
"I don't even know the number of people, how can we receive it?" Franklin was going crazy, which was too negligent.
It can be understood that it is the first time for everyone, and mistakes are inevitable. Li Mu never had any experience in hosting the Olympics in his previous life, so he would also be blinded by the details.
"Just prepare according to the standard of 1,000 people, it is estimated that the German team will not have too many people." Li Mu can only assume that the first Olympic Games in another time and space was in 1896. Li Mu did not know how many people participated, so he could only roughly estimate them.
"There are so many people in the German team?" Franklin was stunned. If there were so many athletes in Germany, the total number of athletes would be unknown. What is certain is that it must be beyond the ability of Springfield Institute of Technology to bear.
"I mean the total number of people, the total number of athletes, we only receive athletes." Li Mu did not scare Franklin. Compared with athletes, the delegation was definitely larger. After all, so many imperial countries must send officials to New York with the team. Officials are not scary. What is scary is the servants of officials. Nowadays, the nobles have more than a dozen servants who go out at will. Springfield Institute of Technology is not responsible for the reception of officials.
Li Mu still had a deep understanding of this. The aristocrats these days were extremely luxurious. Even if they joined the army, they would bring their servants to the military camp. This was absolutely unimaginable in the 21st century, but it was natural in this day.
In contrast, athletes these days have no social status. Athletes who can play for the country in the 21st century can be regarded as middle class. There is no such concept these days. Think about the gladiators in the Colosseum and the barbed wire cafes around the European football stadium in the 21st century.
"Okay, a thousand people are only one thousand." Franklin finally breathed a sigh of relief. The size of a thousand people is still fine. Springfield Institute of Technology itself is all thousands of students.
"Lei, Li, have you joined the volunteers?" Li Mu still took care of Li Jeff and Lei Gavin and would not let anyone be ignored.
"Oh, Reim, are you crazy? How could Lei and Lee volunteer? Those far-reaching mobilizations are not worthy of letting Lei and Lee provide services to them." Franklin is also an old stubborn, with a deep-rooted concept of hierarchy in his head. In Franklin's view, letting the doomed Li Jeff and Lei Gavin volunteer to serve those simple-minded and well-developed guys is simply an insult to culture and science.
"Director, you are really unfriendly." Li Mu was speechless. Didn't he say that everyone is equal?
"Actually, I want to participate." Li Jeff plucked up his courage to express his attitude. He was only a teenager and was very interested in everything. The title of volunteer is pretty good, and it sounds very dedicated.
Yes, the culture and science are so noble these days. Students with outstanding sports scores in schools in the 21st century are all influential figures. They are not popular these days. Springfield Institute of Technology is still good, and its educational philosophy is relatively open-minded. When it comes to other schools, it is probably not allowed to let those athletes enter.
Of course, this thinking is relatively outdated. Nowadays, the social status of athletes is also constantly improving. Especially after the emergence of the National Auto Rally and the Rugby League, the social status of star mobilization is gradually improving to a certain extent. For example, Mason, who won the National Auto Rally Championship for two consecutive years, did not become a member of the upper class because of this, Mason is indeed very popular among ordinary people.
"No, your time should be spent on more meaningful things. Does graduating from school mean the end of study? This conclusion is too shallow." Franklin refused decisively, not giving Ray Gavin the opportunity to speak.
"Mr. Dean's words are correct. Is there no end to learning? You can still take the postgraduate entrance examination and take the Ph.D.—" Li Mu said smoothly, not paying attention to what he said.
"What is the postgraduate entrance examination and doctoral degree?" Franklin was very interested in Li Mu's words.
Yes, there is not even a difference between undergraduate and junior college these days, let alone masters and doctoral students. However, Franklin's words reminded Li Mu that if possible, the work of standardizing the education system can start from Springfield Institute of Technology, which will greatly enhance the status of Springfield Institute of Technology.
"Graduate student, PhD - a good idea, it should be like this." Franklin is now an education expert. After Li Mu explained, Franklin immediately realized the benefits of standardizing the education system.
"We Chinese have an old saying that "learning is endless". We all know that this sentence is correct, but the meaning of this sentence is not reflected in the current education system. To give a simple example, for example, the law department, is it enough for our students to fully understand the current laws? We all know that it is definitely not enough. To become a legal expert, we must not only understand the current laws, but also understand the past laws and the development of the entire legal system, so that we can find the rules from it, better find the loopholes in the law, and then make up for the loopholes in the law. However, in this learning process, the existing education system cannot achieve the purpose, so we need to study more deeply." Li Mu did not hide his own personal information, so he simply said it more thoroughly. As for how much Franklin can understand, it depends on Franklin's understanding.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if Franklin doesn’t understand. There is never a lack of smart people in this world. What they lack is foresight and insightful suggestions. As long as Li Mu proposes this idea, people will naturally improve it.
"Yes, learning is endless, this is great. We can try it. I'll hold a teaching and research meeting in the future." Franklin is also a smart person, otherwise he would not be qualified to serve as the director of the Department of Chemistry at MIT. The teaching methods of Springfield Institute of Technology are still very advanced, at least through the teaching and research association.
"There is actually a question of qualifications here, such as Lei and Li. We all know that Lei and Li are geniuses, so how should we use geniuses? According to your vision, Lei and Li should teach after staying in school. So there is a question: Is the work Lei and Li doing the same as other students doing on campus? If the same, how can the value of Lei and Li be maximized? This question will be a problem that you need to solve for a long time in the future." Li Mu delegated power, mentioned it and let it go without interfering specifically. I believe Franklin will definitely give Li Mu a satisfactory answer.
In fact, it is necessary to choose outstanding students from graduates to stay in school to teach. Although Springfield Institute of Technology spends a lot of money to recruit teachers from Europe in order to enrich its teaching power, the people they recruit are of varying quality. Some people are just famous and have a worrying level of professionalism, while some people are directly not good and have no qualifications to teach and educate. Sooner or later, these people have to be replaced. No matter what, they are the talents they have cultivated themselves to use for the most convenient use.
"Sir, I want to stay in school." It seems that what Li Mu said about learning endlessly is indeed very tempting. Li Jeff has been shaken. If he can continue his studies, Li Jeff does not mind postponing his time to join Junma Group. The richer his knowledge, the greater his role in the future.
"You can still study when you work? You were considered undergraduates before, and you were not a proprietor. When you reach a higher level, you will study while working, otherwise it will be a waste of knowledge." Li Mu was not angry. It is a good thing to love to study, but it would be a bad thing to learn to become a nerd.
Although Li Jeff did not understand the meaning of the term "undergraduate", it did not prevent Li Jeff from understanding Li Mu's meaning. As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, Li Jeff immediately changed his words: "Then I will still join the Junma Group."
this--
It's indeed a child, and there is no character.
"Mr. Reim, since there is no difference between entering Junma Group and staying in school, I actually want to stay in school, and I also want to enter Junma Laboratory." Lei Gavin also confirmed his ideal. Science students are relatively simple, and there are not as many twists and turns as liberal arts students.
"Yes, since you are not a volunteer, then go to Boston to find Nikola Tesla, first enter the power group and feel the atmosphere, remember to say less and see more. Nikola Tesla is a very skilled scientist. As long as you have a pair of eyes that are good at observing, you will definitely gain something by staying by Nikola Tesla." Li Mu was not stingy and found the best teacher for Lei Gavin within his authority. As for what kind of achievements Lei Gavin will achieve in the future, it depends on Lei Gavin's luck.
"Please rest assured Mr. Lim, I will definitely study hard and read less." Lei Gavin's mind is very simple. As long as he can work for Li Mu, he doesn't care about the specific job position.
"Ray, cherish the opportunity. Mr. Tesla is one of the best scientists in Junma Laboratory. He is presided over the construction of the Niagara Hydropower Station. This is an opportunity that countless people have dreamed of." Rheeve has not yet realized what Li Mu's arrangement means. Relatively speaking, Franklin is more aware of Nikola Tesla's status in Junma Laboratory.
When Li Mu was still in the Far East, the Niagara Hydropower Station had already begun to be built. Nikola Tesla presided over all the technical research and development of the hydropower station. Although another time and space debated endlessly about the world's first hydropower station, within the scope of Li Mu's knowledge, the Niagara Hydropower Station is the world's first large-scale hydropower station that truly uses hydropower for power generation. At least, this "large-scale" is indeed certain. Compared with the Niagara Hydropower Station, the so-called "hydropower station" of the French is as trivial as a handicraft workshop.
"Mr. Dean, Mr. Tesla has taught us, and we all know Mr. Tesla's level." Ray Gavin was very happy because of the cooperation between Junma Lab and Springfield Institute of Technology. Nikola Tesla is also one of the external professors at Springfield Institute of Technology. Of course, Ray Gavin also knows Nikola Tesla's level.
