现代大学制度理论的历史性分析

The Historical Analysis of the Theory on Modern University System

我国早期大学在创办时期就存在是否完全实施"教授治校、大学自治"制度的分歧,只是那时的知识界还普遍追求独立的地位和身份,因而那些最先"睁眼看世界"的仁人志士们,虽然其现代科学知识明显欠缺,其思维还不够深邃,但他们在向国外大学学习的问题上,却头脑分外清醒、态度分外开明、见解剀切而坦率,全没有思想被禁锢、被束缚或见风使舵、曲学阿世的迹象,充分展示了中国文化传统中的"大丈夫"情怀。他们直面我国教育思想和体制问题的反思精神,对制度弊端和思想陈腐毫不遮掩的批判态度,都显现了一种实事求是的态度和精神,值得今天的知识界学习。

There were the different ideas about the system of professor-oriented or autonomous universities, even at the very beginning of the early establishment of the universities in China. At that time scholars still pursued independent statue and identities of their own. Without much knowledge of modem science and study of philosophy, those early scholars were still honest and open-minded toward the study of the foreign universities, which really showed their good quality as schol- ars in traditional culture. Their reflection on educational theory and system issues and their open critics toward the problems of the system and ideas resembled their realistic attitude and spirit, which is worth for today＇ s scholars to learn from.
