Office of the President of Galaxy University of Science and Technology.
"Are there only 505 students to register?"
"As expected, there were more than 200 people missing."
"Alas~"
As soon as the three-day registration period passed, the number of students admitted to Galaxy University of Science and Technology also came out.
Qin Yi couldn't help but sigh while holding the data. Reputation is really important. His school was a new one without any reputation. It admitted more than 700 students, but only 505 were willing to come to study in the end.
This is half of Qin Yi's goal of recruiting 1,000 students.
Sighing, although there are only 505 students, Qin Yi knows that this is also the trust that 505 students have in the school and themselves, and it is also the expectation of 505 families for the future of their children. He still has to be a down-to-earth principal.
Just fine.
Putting away his emotions, Qin Yi took out his pen and started writing a manuscript for his speech at the first school meeting of the university.
Qin Yi thinks this matter is very important. A university should not only have strong hardware facilities, but also a soul.
Only when a school has its own soul, or a spirit, can it continue to pass on this soul and spirit from generation to generation.
This is like an army. Every army has a military soul injected into it from its founder. The people in the army are constantly changing with the passage of time, but the military soul never changes.
Only an army with a military spirit can be called a real army.
The same is true for universities~
Qin Yi has read a lot about education in civilized institutions of higher learning in the Science and Technology Tower. Almost all civilizations believe that the most important thing about a university is not its powerful infrastructure, but its ability to influence the soul or spirit of generations.
One of the most direct manifestations is the school motto, ‘Continuously strive for self-improvement and be virtuous’, ‘Think extensively and be determined, ask questions and think deeply’, ‘Allow fairness and ability, and make progress with each passing day’….
Well-known domestic universities have done very well in this regard, instilling this kind of thinking, a spirit, and a soul into their students.
This kind of spirit and soul can accompany you throughout your life, influence your life, and benefit your students a lot.
It can be said that this transfer of spirit or soul is the most valuable asset of these well-known universities, and the knowledge learned in universities seems even more secondary.
Famous foreign universities attach great importance to this aspect. For example, the school motto of Harvard University is "Be friends with Aristotle, be friends with Plato, and be friends with the truth." This school motto is telling its students that it requires
Pursue excellence and pursue truth.
So what is a college like? In fact, the most important thing is to see whether the college has a spirit and a soul. Many colleges and universities have very good school mottos, but they do not really practice their school mottos and have empty slogans.
, but without soul and spirit.
Qin Yi has thought about the spirit and soul of Galaxy University of Science and Technology for a long time. Qin Yi has been thinking about this issue since he first wanted to establish Galaxy University of Science and Technology.
Think about what kind of soul and spirit you should inject into this school, and how you should penetrate and continue this soul and spirit so that it can truly be integrated into the soul of every Galaxy University of Science and Technology student.
Qin Yi took a brush and wrote down line after line on the draft paper, stopping from time to time, thinking carefully, shaking his head from time to time, crumpling the draft paper into a ball and throwing it into the trash can.
Compared with running a business or doing scientific research, Qin Yi has never felt that the responsibility on his shoulders is so heavy. Teaching and educating people is indeed the most difficult and important thing in the world.
The extent of a person's achievements depends largely on the knowledge he has learned.
Some people may say that Zhu Yuanzhang is illiterate, and he can be an emperor even if he is a beggar. In real society, there are also many bosses with little education. Is this knowledge and culture really that important?
The person who said this must not know about probability. Zhu Yuanzhang did not read many books when he was a child, but when he grew up, he worked very hard. While fighting for the world and governing the world, he also studied at the same time. He read
There will definitely be no fewer books than those who took the so-called imperial examinations.
As for someone who can become a boss without education, how low is the probability? There may not be one among 10,000 people, and even if you become a boss, your achievements may not be great. The more you become a boss, the more you know the importance of knowledge.
The more I regret not reading the book in the first place.
Knowledge is very important ~
Qin Yi felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy and he was very attentive to everything at Galaxy University of Technology. Qin Yi was afraid that he would mislead his students.
…
In the Great Hall of Galaxy University of Science and Technology, teachers and students from the entire school gathered together to attend the opening ceremony of Galaxy University of Science and Technology.
The first-in-command of Jiangnan Province, Lao Liu, and the second-in-command, Lao Xia, were also very generous and personally attended the opening ceremony of Galaxy University of Science and Technology. The department in charge of education also sent a congratulatory message.
In front of the auditorium, there were more than 100 teachers and professors sitting. Any one of them was a well-known teacher or professor from a famous domestic university, and there were more than a dozen experts from both colleges and universities. They were not only teachers from Galaxy University of Technology, but also
He is also an important scientist at the Galaxy Science Research Institute.
At the back of the auditorium were 505 first-year freshmen from Galaxy University of Science and Technology. At this time, everyone was sitting upright, watching Qin Yi step onto the podium, and looking forward to Qin Yi's speech.
Looking at the teachers and students in the auditorium, Qin Yi took a gentle breath and spoke slowly.
"Thank you all for believing in me, Qin Yi, and choosing to join the big family of Galaxy University of Science and Technology~"
"We come from all corners of the country. We came here for various reasons and became the first batch of teachers and students at Galaxy University of Science and Technology."
“As early as when I came up with the idea of establishing Galaxy University of Science and Technology, I was thinking about why a university should be called a university.”
"What is the meaning of its existence?"
Qin Yi's voice was not loud, but it was transmitted very clearly to the ears of every teacher and student present.
After hearing Qin Yi's words, many teachers also thought carefully. Vice principals Chen He and Ye Lan are both well-known educators. They also have very deep thoughts and understandings on this issue.
As for the many students below the podium, they were also frowning and thinking, thinking about what university is, what is the meaning of university, and why they come to university.
This is a question worth pondering, and one with countless answers.
After a slight pause, Qin Yi continued to speak.
"It is said in "Book of Rites ~ University" that the way of a university lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and striving for perfection~"
"It means that the purpose of the university is to promote upright moral character, to make people abandon the old and pursue the new, and to make people reach the most perfect state."
"Every top well-known university has its own spirit and soul. This spirit and soul are like fire, constantly spreading and continuing among generations of teachers and students. Generations of teachers and students are dominated by this spirit and soul.
We will continue to pursue excellence, pursue truth, and contribute to the development and progress of mankind."
"The people sitting next to you are the first batch of teachers and students of our Galaxy University of Science and Technology. You will inject a spirit and soul into this school, which will influence every generation of teachers and students of our Galaxy University of Science and Technology in the future."
"Perhaps we will all grow old as time goes by and eventually leave Galaxy University of Technology, but the soul and spirit we have injected into this school will never be erased and will be with Galaxy University of Technology from generation to generation.
Teachers and students continue to pass it on.”
"This spirit and soul will influence every generation of teachers and students, and will be continuously spread by these teachers and students, just like a single spark that can start a prairie fire and burn forever."
After saying this, Qin Yi's eyes became firm and he looked at the teachers and students present.
"We are the first batch of teachers and students in this school. Our words and deeds will have a profound impact and will slowly form the soul and spirit of our Galaxy University of Science and Technology."
"The soul and spirit of a school is not to shout slogans, nor to find a stone to write it on, nor to just mention it at the beginning of the school year."
"The true spirit and soul of a school lies in the teachers and students of this school, in every word and deed of the teachers and students of this school, so every teacher and student present, your future at Galaxy University of Technology
Every bit of it will slowly condense the soul and spirit of our Galaxy University of Science and Technology, and this spirit and soul will be slowly passed on over time."
"I hope that everyone here, whether a teacher or a student, will keep this in mind, because we are the first batch of teachers and students in this school, and we will infuse this school with
The spirit and soul that belongs uniquely to this school.”
On the podium, Qin Yi's voice was very clearly transmitted to every teacher and student present.
After hearing this, many teachers couldn't help but nod their heads one after another. They agreed very much with Qin Yi's words, and at the same time they felt deeply that the responsibility on their shoulders was very heavy.
As for the students present, at first they thought they came to the university just to study, but now they couldn't help but sit up straight, as if they had a sense of mission. They didn't just come to study, they came to study.
Those who founded Galaxy University of Science and Technology came to inject soul and spirit into this school.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry on the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations~"
Qin Yi looked at the teachers and students present, and softly read out these four famous quotes by Zhang Zai, a great master of the Northern Song Dynasty. This is the soul and spirit that Qin Yi thought he should inject into this school after thinking for a long time.
Of course, this is not just about shouting slogans, but more importantly, in the future, we must truly inject this soul and spirit into this school bit by bit.
