Cai Yuanpei always attached great importance to the university's scientific research. He proposed 'comprehensive absorption and free thinking' as the guiding principle for doing scientific research, which contributed greatly to intellectual freedom. He fostered creativity of students by including and encouraging them in scientific research projects. At present, systematic investigation must be carried out into Cai Yuanpei's educational ideology so as to carry educational reform to its depth and foster students with creative ideas. Only in this way can we prepare ourselves for the challenges of the new century, a century of information economy.
