抗战时期西南联大的教授群体的和而不同

Harmony in Diversity:Professors in Southwest United University in Times of Anti-Japanese War

西南联大是抗战时期中国高等教育的一个奇迹。西南联大的出现,是因为抗日战争这个特殊的历史事件促成了中国当时最优秀的三所大学和最杰出的学术精英的汇聚,并且还有了长达九年的成功合作,而其办学成功的一个重要原因就是在于它拥有一批具有"民主传统、自由理念和宽容精神"的教授群体。西南联大的教授群体是由一群思想各异、行为自主、我行我素、独来独往的学者们所构成,在这个特殊群体中从校长到教授都有相似的教育背景,他们既受过中国传统文化的熏陶,也有国外留学和考察的经历,他们的知识结构比较完整,可谓学贯中西。而且这些学者深受西方自由主义思潮的影响,他们大多属于自由主义者,自由主义成为联大教授的意识形态。西南联大的教授群体也是最具有独立性的一个群体,他们可以比较自由地表达自己的思想,很少受党派的约束。西南联大教授群体认同和坚守的价值谱系成为他们相互合作、共事、团结的基础,这些价值谱系是:潜心学术而避免内部纷争;宽容精神和民主信念;党派之间和平共处。西南联大教授群体身上所表现出来的价值谱系实际上就是一种大学精神具体化,是一种大学文化的自觉,是教授群体在大学融合和发展过程中所形成的集体觉悟,他们以此来规范和约束自己的行动,既有所为也有所不为。抗战时期西南联大的教授群体可谓是当时国内学术精英的杰出代表,在他们身上体现了和而不同的价值谱系,而这恰是现代大学精神的具体表现和灵魂。
