  康奈爾大學:論大學的義務


康奈爾大學:論大學的責任


  在現今天下,讀大學似乎是人生中異常主要的一個關鍵,那末大學的義務究竟是甚麽?康奈爾大學在誇大小我成長的同時也特殊重視社會義務,在你所能想到的大學的感化裏,有造就及格國民這一項嗎?大學又是如何造就及格國民的呢?

  What is the purpose of college? Certainly it prepares students for careers and offers opportunities for learning and personal advancement that they may not get otherwise. But what other purpose does college serve?

  大學的目標是甚麽?固然,大學為小我的進修和提高供給機遇,為小我的職業平生打好基本。然則除此以外大學另有甚麽目標呢?

  Like many leaders in higher education, Gretchen Ritter, the dean of arts and sciences at Cornell University , believe that we also have a responsibility to foster good citizenship, and I think that’s one of the most important contributions college can make to society.

  像高級教導的很多引導者同樣,康奈爾大學藝術與科學院院長Gretchen Ritter以為大學也應以造就及格國民為己任,那也是大學能為社會所做的最主要的進獻之一。

  Abraham Lincoln once said that in the face of political divisions, it is beholden upon all of us to come together by invoking the “better angels of our nature.” I hope that some of our graduates will be leaders in these debates and will devote some part of their professional lives to public service.

  How does college foster these attributes of good citizenship? There are three things that matter deeply here: knowledge, public orientation, and human understanding. Colleges do this not only through what we teach but also through who we admit.

  大學應當如何造就優良國民呢?有三個癥結身分:常識、"大眾,"意識,和人辭意識。大學不但經由過程“教”來實現這些,也經由過程所招門生的本質來出現這些。

  In my college, more than a tenth of the freshman class grew up outside the United States. We have students at Cornell from every state in the country, and every class, religious, or social background imaginable. That uncommon diversity can create challenges at times in competing understandings of what constitutes justice, opportunity or social good, or when religious differences spill over into foreign policy debates. But learning to navigate discussions that entail deep, passionate, and sometimes opposing commitments is an essential skill for all of us — not just in the public sphere, but in our work lives and home lives as well. In all of these ways, a commitment to the role of college in fostering good citizenship correlates to the view that knowledge and human understanding provide us with a pathway to a better future.

  在康奈爾大學,跨越非常之一的大一復活是國際門生,這類文化配景的多樣性使門生對付公理、機會等的懂得也不盡雷同,那末可以或許準確地引誘輿論便是一種很主要的才能了。總之,大學的主要義務之一便是造就及格的國民,讓門生曉得常識和人辭意識能引誘他們具有一個更好的將來。
