走近哈佛：世界一流大学的治校文化

Harvard Unveiled: The Governing Culture of a World-class University

哈佛大学是一所享誉世界的名校,是一所比美国建国历史还要悠久的学校。在作者30余年从事高等教育研究的过程中,从文本上开始识读哈佛,以"游客"的身份走进哈佛,丰富了对哈佛大学的认知,逐步对哈佛为何能够成为世界一流大学有了基本判断,但总还是有种"纸上得来终觉浅"的感觉。哈佛大学费正清中国研究中心主任宋怡明教授,成了作者真正认识哈佛的"窗口"。在与宋教授多次交流后找到了哈佛大学走向成功的秘诀--文化治校。"走近哈佛",是一次走进世界一流大学的心灵之旅。哈佛大学的本科教育文化、通识教育文化、管理的服务文化、校长们的"遗产"文化、社会各界的捐赠文化、教授的"夫人文化",构成了哈佛得以矗立于世界一流大学之巅的根基。

As a globally renowned university, Harvard has a history longer than the United States. In the course of over 30 years of research in higher education, from knowing Harvard on paper to touring it in reality, the author acquired more enriched perception and clearer understanding of its reasons to be a world-class university. However,there always seemed to be a missing piece. The acquaintance with Professor Michael Szonyi, Director of Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University, opened up the window for him to Harvard’s secret saucegovernance by culture. This is a spiritual journey into a world-class university, where the cultures of undergraduate education, liberal arts education, management service, president legacies, social endowment, and even that related to the wives of professors, constitute the footstones that support Harvard as a state-of-the-art university.
