809 Put the cart before the horse

There was a period of time when the "circle" culture was noisy in the 21st century. This was not groundless. "Circle" has indeed existed since ancient times, and the 19th century was no exception.

There are circles around Li Mu. The core layer is of course Arthur, Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan and others. A little further away is Andrew Carnegie and Henry DuPont, and a little further away is Solomon Lob and Gris Vanderbilt, etc. This "circle" is basically solidified, and it is basically impossible for others to join.

If you want to become Li Mu's partner, you must first have enough energy. It doesn't matter if you don't have money. Li Mu does not lack money, so he doesn't care about the role of money. The key is still projects. Only with projects can there be cooperation. It doesn't make sense to say anything else.

On July 1st, the first Olympic Games opened at the Springfield Institute of Technology Comprehensive Sports Field. Forty-five countries sent delegations to participate in the first Olympic Games. In addition, there were thirty-eight teams from the United States, and even the most remote state of Hawaii sent delegations.

Li Mu did not know how the opening ceremony of the previous Olympic Games was held in history, and it had nothing to do with it. In this time and space, the first Olympic Games was held in New York, the United States. Springfield Institute of Technology provided athletes' dormitories and most of the competition venues, which gave Li Mu a decisive voice. What should be done in the opening ceremony is decided by Li Mu.

Since this is the case, Li Mu is not polite. Within his responsibilities, he added Chinese elements to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games as much as possible.

This has congenital conveniences. Most of the volunteers are Chinese, so in the literary and artistic performance session, most of the performers are also Chinese.

After the entrance ceremony, the literary performances were immediately staged. At this time, Chinese elements were simply seen everywhere, lions and dragons were definitely indispensable. The big red lanterns became the representative color of the Olympics, almost everywhere. In order to deepen the impression, Li Mu even put on a vest embroidered with a big red lantern for the Olympic mascot "Pan".

As a member of the organizing committee, Li Mu also sat on the rostrum and watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on the spot.

Unlike others, there is a broadcast system just launched by Junma Communications Company in front of Li Mu, which allows Li Mu to more intuitively control the entire live broadcast process.

It’s not OK to not broadcast live. Although Springfield Institute of Technology has done its best for the Olympics, it still has no strength. The Springfield Institute of Technology Comprehensive Sports Field, which held the opening ceremony, had less than 7,000 seats. This is the result of temporary expansion. Originally, there were less than 3,000 seats in the Springfield Institute of Technology Comprehensive Sports Field, which had a total of less than 1,000 people last year.

The progress brought by the Olympics is all-round. In order to enable Springfield Institute of Technology to better host the Olympics, both the New York State government and the New York City government allocated temporary financial grants to Springfield Institute of Technology, and even Washington allocated a $300,000 fiscal grant to the New York State Department of Education for financial subsidies to Springfield Institute of Technology.

Four months before the opening of the Olympics, Springfield Institute of Technology received a total of more than $1 million in financial subsidies to provide related services to the Olympics. Franklin certainly could not spend all the grants on the expansion of the sports field. The money to truly provide services to the Olympics will not exceed $250,000. The rest will become three teaching buildings and one office building at Springfield Institute of Technology.

Not bad, at least the money can be spent to see results. Li Mu is very satisfied with Franklin's decision. In the new school year two months later, the size of Springfield Institute of Technology will more than double now. Li Mu is even considering independent law school and medical school and establishing two new colleges and universities, which puts higher requirements on Springfield Institute of Technology.

Li Mu has always been open about the new college.

Strictly speaking, the name Springfield Institute of Technology still has great limitations. First of all, the place name "Springfield" lowers the level of the entire college. Look at King's College, although it is far from Springfield Institute of Technology, whether it is the size of the school or the faculty, it is far from Springfield Institute of Technology, but by the name, King's College's qualities are much higher than Springfield Institute of Technology. Therefore, if Springfield Institute of Technology wants to develop into a first-class institution in the United States in the future, the name must be changed. At least it cannot be used with names like "Springfield" that have obvious regional characteristics.

Compared with the name of the school, the independence of medical schools and law schools is also imperative. The first thing to emphasize is that there is no specialized medical school in the United States so far. Although Harvard and Yale have medical majors, the ranking of departments on campus is not optimistic, even lower than the ranking of seminary schools, which shows the status of medical schools.

Li Mu knew the future of medicine. Springfield Polytechnic Institute did not even offer the discipline of "theology". The status of medical schools and law schools is among the best in Springfield Polytechnic Institute. Even finance and economics cannot be compared with medicine. Compared with law, if the medical school is just a medical school, the strength of Springfield Polytechnic Institute's Medical School is even better than that of the old British Cambridge and Oxford. Under this premise, it is imperative that the medical school be independent from Springfield Polytechnic Institute. If the medical school is still placed under Springfield Polytechnic Institute, it will definitely affect the development of the medical school.

The same is true for law schools. The law schools in the past are different from the law schools in the 21st century in another time and space. Perhaps many people will not believe that even Harvard and Yale, the law schools mainly study literature and philosophy, and do not study in depth in law. The courses at Springfield Institute of Technology Law School are not completely beyond this era, but compared with Harvard and Yale, the advantages are not a little bit. Many students at Springfield Institute of Technology Law School have obtained internship qualifications in well-known law firms in New York, which can well illustrate the status of Springfield Institute of Technology Law School.

Of course, Franklin must be reluctant to separate medical schools and law schools from Springfield Polytechnic Institute. In order to appease medical schools and law schools, Franklin even treated students in medical schools and law schools in special terms within his responsibilities. Students from other disciplines in Springfield Polytechnic Institute have four people in one dormitory, but in medical schools and law schools, one dormitory is still left to each student, which is already the treatment of ordinary lecturers in other disciplines. Even so, the independence of medical schools and law schools is unstoppable.

"Why should I separate the medical school and the law school? Now it seems that Springfield Institute of Technology is very good, but it has not yet reached the point of completely throwing away Harvard and Yale. To move forward according to the current situation, I am confident that within three years, Springfield Institute of Technology will be built into the best colleges in the United States. At that time, Harvard and Yale will only hide in the corner and cry. Isn't it possible to separate the medical school and the law school at that time? If the medical school and the law school are separated in three years, then the science and technology can bear the construction costs of the medical school and the law school. We can have disciplines that stand out in America in many different fields without any effort. Even Bridge and Oxford are not without a fight." Franklin seized every opportunity to brainwash Li Mu, even at the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

What is going on is the entry ceremony of the Olympic Games. Like the 21st century Olympics, all athletes must line up to enter the venue and pass the rostrum to wait at the center of the venue under the guidance of volunteers. The clothes of the volunteers are very distinctive. The upper body is a double-breasted Tang suit unique to Chinese people, the lower body is loose and stylish breeches, and the feet are summer short boots specially sponsored by Junma Clothing. The tone of all the clothes is Chinese red, and each volunteer also has a red lantern in his hand, which not only adds a festive atmosphere, but also better guides athletes to the pre-determined position.

"Our medical school now has the strength that exceeds Harvard and Yale. As for Bridge and Oxford, I dare not say that it has surpassed them now, but in the field of clinical medicine, we have absolute confidence. Reim, it is time to list the medical school separately and establish a new medical university. This is more conducive to the spread of influence. We don't want to target anyone, Harvard, Yale, and even more so, Bridge and Oxford. The key is that we already have this strength, why can't we gain a status that matches our strength?" Mrs. Henry firmly demands that the medical school be independent from the School of Technology. This is definitely not because of rights, but because of his own ideals. If it were not for this, Mrs. Henry would not have to be so petty.

"Franklin, the independence of medical schools and law schools is imperative. In the future, even the School of Literature and Finance will be independent. The School of Science and Technology should devote more energy to the disciplines of science and technology—" Li Mu supports the independence of medical schools and law schools, but it is not now. When he heard Li Mu's words, Mrs. Henry's face was a little happy, and Li Mu immediately poured cold water on her: "Mrs. Henry, don't be happy so early. I agree with the spin-off of the School of Science and Technology, but it is not now. In my plan, Springfield Institute of Technology will first become the first-class institution in the United States and even the world, and then it will be split. Although it is not the time yet, we should also give the medical schools the fullest autonomy. Aren't you going to build a medical school affiliated to the School of Medicine? Let's start the hospital first."

Li Mu couldn't afford to offend both sides, so he could only mix with each other. In fact, the affiliated hospital of the Medical College had already begun to accept patients at this time. Judging from the current feedback, the medical power of the affiliated hospital is still very good, at least much stronger than St. Mary's Hospital.

A fact that cannot be ignored is that human potential is really unlimited. The reputation of the medical school of the Polytechnic Institute is rising steadily. The high level of doctors is certainly one aspect, but strict regulations are on the other hand.

Many people in this era actually ignored the power of nursing. Before Florence Nightingale went to the front line of the Crimean War, the death rate of British soldiers occupied as high as 42%. Half a year after Florence Nightingale arrived at the front line, the death rate of British wounded soldiers dropped to 2%. Is Florence Nightingale's medical skills so brilliant?

It was not the case at all. The reason why the death rate of British wounded soldiers dropped so quickly was that Florence Nightingale treated the wounded soldiers as his family's care was so simple.

When Springfield Institute of Technology Medical College was founded, it promoted nursing to a higher position than medical care. Many times, what patients need is only enough psychological comfort, and the effect of other aspects is not very great. Don’t forget that this is the 19th century. For many diseases, let alone treatment, even the cause and pathology cannot be summarized and organized. Therefore, the prosperity of theology makes sense. Many times, whether patients can recover depends on the will of "God".

With advanced concepts, the development of the Medical College of Polytechnic College is only a long time to go. Although doctors are still helpless for many diseases, compared with other doctors in this era, doctors and nurses at the Medical College of Springfield College of Polytechnic College have enough patience and appropriateness to patients, which reduces the accident by 90% and the remaining ten percent-

Well, doctors in the 21st century are also helpless against some patients, so don’t ask too much about doctors in the 19th century.

"The Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College has now officially begun to accept patients. Even St. Mary's Hospital has begun to send untreated patients to our affiliated hospitals. Although we are also helpless in many cases, this at least shows that St. Mary's Hospital does not have much advantage compared to us in the face of the disease." Mrs. Henry still did not give up. Mrs. Henry still had a grudge against Li Mu's recruitment of teachers and students from the Medical College to serve the Olympics this time.

At any time, doctors are in the upper class, at least middle class. Whether they are presidents or tycoons, they are equal in the face of diseases. Wealth and power cannot bring a healthy body. No one knows when they will get sick, so in general, doctors are still very respected.

Of course, this is not absolute. For example, some medical troubles in the Republic in the 21st century lack sufficient awe of life. For these people, it is not important whether their relatives' illness can be cured. What they care more about is face.

This is putting the cart before the horse.
