Chapter 16: Takaoka (3)

And that night, the four flower-like girls in Li Xin's dormitory were also talking about the boys in the class. An Zixi lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling with both eyes, and said in a long voice: "Alas, today really disappointed me. โ€

The other three were puzzled, and Yang Fangyu asked: "On the first day of class, what are you disappointed about?" I'm very happy, you see that our classmates are from every province, and they will have the opportunity to play all over the country in the future, but they don't have to worry about no acquaintances to lead the way. โ€

An Zixi pouted, and then said: "When I was in high school, I thought that all the boys in the class were like little hairy children. I thought that when I got to college, I would meet a prince charming, but you see all the boys in our class, all stunned, what is the difference from high school? When I came out of the classroom, there was a boy who rushed out with me, not a gentleman at all. Looks like I'm going to have to keep being disappointed. โ€

The crowd was amused. Lan Jingxue said: "Actually, there are a few good ones in our class, that name is quite special, it is the one called Ye Ziyu, what do you think?"

"He's, wellโ€”โ€”, looks pretty good, but he's not mature at all. You see when he came up to the podium, his eyes were rolling around, and his stomach was like a ghost. โ€

"So, I guess he discharged at you, why don't you turn your eyes to him and call him back?"

"Ah, I'm afraid that my power is too strong, and he will have a mistake and faint on the podium, isn't it troublesome?"

"Are you so powerful? Then don't worry, we have a total of three public courses this semester, all of which are attended by freshmen from all departments, and there is no Prince Charming in our class, but there may be other classes, so you can just pay attention to the search at that time." Otherwise, we will help you pay attention, if there is really a prince charming, you should hurry up and strike first, which is good. โ€

"Okay, if we can find a few more, we'll divide them, one for each person. โ€

"I don't want it, if you really want more, let An Zixi make it round for you, so that you don't have to think about it from middle school to now. โ€

"Okay, you, dead girl, bad enough! โ€

"Okay, you're really fighting, speaking your mind, right?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, can't you admit your mistakes......"

The four young girls laughed and laughed.

On this night, all the male and female freshmen in the dormitory were destined to discuss the same topic enthusiastically.

In the first few days of school, the students were not idle. There are many organizations in the school, such as choirs, drama troupes, literary clubs, calligraphy associations, dance teams, football teams, basketball teams, ...... Almost every freshman joins more than one club, and then he is called by the seniors and vows to wait for the next year's freshmen to enter the school, and he will have to do a good job.

Lin Chuya wrote well and participated in the school calligraphy association. After receiving some rice paper from the association, he showed his expertise and wrote a piece of writing and pasted it on the dormitory door - cherish the youth. Originally, I wanted to wait for the teacher to visit the dormitory and get two words of praise, but unfortunately within two days, I don't know which guy who went to the toilet without a tissue tore it up.

Gao Jiyuan is big and was originally favored by the school basketball team, but he likes football and went to the football team to play his height advantage as a goalkeeper. Of course, none of the roommates expected that Gao Jiyuan also submitted an application for joining the party to the party committee of the department. In fact, when he was in high school, he was elected as an outstanding member of the Communist Youth League for three consecutive years, and his wish to join the party has long been fulfilled. I just didn't mention it to my roommates.

Yan Motong has the most things, served as a member of the organizing committee of the class, joined the school's student union, and also participated in the drama troupe. Ye Ziyu originally wanted to join the literary club, but the freshmen had to pass the essay exam when they joined the club. On the night of the exam, he happened to go to watch a movie outside the school with Gao Jiyuan and missed this opportunity. Later, he asked if he could make up for the quota, but who knew that the literary club was quite popular, and a bespectacled officer refused very majestically, saying that this had to be based on ability, could he go through the back door?

Soon after the official start of classes, some students had more or less absent class records, but Ye Ziyu became a rare good student, and she was not even late. His experience of university courses was markedly different from that of secondary school. Once homework is not for the purpose of exams and further education, both teaching and learning can truly appreciate the joy of knowledge. Students have greater freedom in learning, and there is no teacher chasing you behind your ass to urge homework, and learning becomes your own business.

Students from all over the world have different goals such as employment, postgraduate entrance examination, and going abroad, and have their own different rhythms of life, but here is the best place to cultivate their own interests and hobbies, learn to think independently, and form their own outlook on life. Ye Ziyu was deeply glad that he had won this opportunity. College students are famous, but the superior living and studying environment in the ivory tower is genuine and commendable. He was further interested in the term "university", and the university referred to in the Four Books was clearly incompatible with the contemporary university system. He traced his roots in the library and finally found the origins of the modern university.

At the beginning of the Middle Kingdom, the Roman Empire fell, the classical culture of Greece and Rome was destroyed and rapidly weakened, the once prosperous cities disappeared from people's vision, various educational institutions disappeared, and the Christian church became the main inheritor and disseminator of ancient culture. In the twelfth century, due to the development of Christianity, a large number of clergy were needed to help bishops administer their dioceses. Monasteries, archdiocesan schools and parish schools followed. The archdiocesan school is located in the archdiocese, and the diocesan school is located in the village where the clergy are located. The Church used these sites to educate clergy and monks in the basics of reading, writing, arithmetic, and doctrine, and they adopted some of the fruits of classical culture to gradually develop a curriculum called the "Seven Arts" (grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music, astronomy). The teachers of these schools are called doctors in Italy (Doctor from the Latin doctoreum, meaning teacher), while in Paris they refer to teachers as masters (from the Latin magister, meaning teacher, master). As the school grew, the number of teachers called master's or doctoral degrees increased, and teachers in various places organized teachers' guilds, modeled on the guilds of craftsmen and commerce, and students organized into guilds to manage their own affairs. They all called their guilds the University (from the Latin Universitals, meaning community), which eventually became the common name of all educational centers. That is, the original university institutions were the guilds of these teachers and the guilds of students. Teachers of the same profession in the same guild formed a special professional guild, called a department or faculty guild (from the Latin facultas, meaning talent, that is, the ability to teach a certain subject), and later the meaning of the term department was extended to include a university branch (college) that teaches knowledge of a certain department.
