寄给刚上大学的妹妹做第一本英文读物了,不错,很好的托福/雅思阅读材料hhhh;大佬的演讲稿嘛,观点我是绝对赞同的,再多内容也就没有了;“absolutely untrammeled academic freedom,” 最喜欢这句: “The mere fact that they bring satisfaction to an individual soul bent upon its own purification and elevation is all the justification that they need.” (P76) -- 人文精神和人本关怀就在这了~09-24

买书时以为讲的是教育(即transmission of useless knowledge),原来主要讨论的是科研(即generation of useless knowledge),但我还是从中感受到了肯定与鞭策:要继续相信the usefulness in useless teaching呀!05-06
