Chapter 442: As far as the eye can see, the sky is wonderful

It is said that Copenhagen is a paradise for shopping, tourism and entertainment.

That's right, and entertainment...... Where there is entertainment, of course, there is pleasure, and there are places of pleasure, and for men, there are many women, and for women, jewelry, food, music, movies......

All beautiful things are the favorite of human beings, whether they are men or women, or people who are not men or women.

Of course, in addition to these, people in Copenhagen also place a lot of emphasis on education.

Education is the future of a country.

Today's world is the era of the knowledge economy......

The Jewish people, the most profitable people in the world, have also said that knowledge is more important than wealth than diamonds.

So, no matter how attractive a city is, if it has no education, it has no future. Knowledge can change the fate of a person, and at the same time, it can also change the fate of a country.

And Copenhageners have long expected this, and it has a university, the University of Copenhagen.

The University of Copenhagen is located at the crossroads of Northern and European continents and has a history of more than 500 years

History.

Since its establishment, from the debate between the academic pioneers and the Holy See and the king in the Middle Ages, to the academic controversy between Bohr and Einstein, two great scientific masters, in the first half of the 20th century, it has constituted a history of education and entrepreneurship that constantly explores the truth, pursues the ultimate, prospers culture, and develops civilization.

The University of Copenhagen was founded on June 1, 1479, with the approval of King Christian I. Like the early universities in other European countries, the University of Copenhagen was originally founded by the Catholic Church and was under the jurisdiction of the Catholic Church to train clergy and spread Christian ideas.

In the early days of the University of Copenhagen, in addition to theology, the majors included law, medicine, and philosophy. In 1482, the university library was established. Between 1533 and 1536, the school experienced a three-year Danish Civil War.

After the Martin Luther Protestant Reformation in 1537, the University of Copenhagen was transferred to the Danish Lutheran State Church and rebuilt from a Catholic university to a Protestant university.

In 1569, Frederick II established a scholarship fund for the school's teachers and students. In 1642, the school opened an observatory in the Rundet?rn (Round Tower). In 1654, the university library was relocated near the Round Tower.

In 1661, Frederick III began preparations for the Royal Library.

Between 1675 and 1788, the University of Copenhagen introduced a system of degree examinations, which was first applied to seminaries and later extended to other colleges.

The increasing number of courses, especially in medicine and law, is developing rapidly, and the Faculty is gradually taking shape. The University of Copenhagen's library, teaching hospital and other important projects have also been built, becoming a center for higher education and research in Denmark.

The charter of 1788 defined the terms of reference of the university, which transformed the university from a classical European university to a modern academic institution, where students of all majors were required to take degree examinations to obtain degree certificates, and the university began to shift its focus from teaching to research.

Between 1842 and 1850, the University of Copenhagen underwent a massive reorganization of faculties. The original Faculty of Medicine and the Institute of Surgical Medicine were merged to form the Faculty of Health Sciences. In 1848, there was also an adjustment within the law school to include the emerging political discipline in the law school.

In 1850, the Mathematics and Natural Sciences majors were separated from the Faculty of Philosophy and became a separate college.

In 1877, the University of Copenhagen admitted its first female student. In the first half of the 20th century, the academic controversy between the Copenhagen School, which originated at the Fifth Solvay Conference, and Einstein, Planck, Schrödinger, Max von Lawee, and de Broglie is regarded as the greatest confrontation in the history of physics.

The rich and fresh air of academic freedom that permeates this ancient institution has kept this ancient institution new.

The period between 1960 and 1980 was the golden age of the development of the University of Copenhagen. During this period, the number of students increased from 6,000 to 26,000, and the number of faculty and staff increased on a large scale. In addition, a new zoological museum was built during this period, as well as an institute named after Oster and Auguste Crow.

In 1970, the University of Copenhagen promulgated a statute that provided for the democratic management of the university. In 1973, this provision was amended and soon adopted by all higher education institutions in Denmark. The reforms that took place between 1990 and 1993 made it possible to award bachelor's degrees in all the courses offered at the university.

In 1993, the law major was separated from the Faculty of Social Sciences and became an independent law school. In 1994, the University of Copenhagen introduced new majors in environmental science, North-South relations and biotechnology, and gave preferential policies to meet the needs of its long-term development. Since 1996, the University of Copenhagen has built a number of new buildings, including the Biotechnology Centre on the island of Amager and the Faculty of Humanities building (now the South Campus).

In 1997, the University of Copenhagen strengthened its ties with other Danish universities on the island of Zealand, as well as with Swedish higher education institutions across the Øresund Strait, forming an academic community for information exchange and resource sharing, and the University of Copenhagen and Lund University established secretariats.

With the opening of the Øresund Bridge, cross-strait exchanges have become more and more frequent, and it has become the most dynamic region of scientific research and innovation in Northern Europe.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the school had more than 37,000 students and more than 7,000 employees, making it the largest teaching institution in the country. In 2006, the university announced the gradual evacuation of the more than 500-year-old old buildings in Copenhagen's inner city and the centralization of the growing number of faculties in order to form a larger, more modern campus and strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration.

In 2007, the University of Copenhagen was incorporated into two new faculties: the Faculty of Life Sciences and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, as a result of the merger of the Royal University of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture and the Royal Pharmaceutical University of Denmark. The Faculty of Life Sciences and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences combine life sciences and pharmaceutical sciences with health sciences, making it one of the largest health and life sciences centres in Northern Europe.

In 2012, the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, the Faculty of Health Sciences, and one-third of the Faculty of Life Sciences merged into the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, and the remaining two-thirds of the Faculty of Life Sciences were merged into the Faculty of Natural Sciences. So far, six faculties have been formed.

In April 2013, the Royal School of Library and Information Science[12] was officially merged into the Faculty of Humanities.

Above the main entrance of the old university building in Frue Plads is an eagle perched below which is the motto of the University of Copenhagen. The original text is Latin "Coelestem adspicit lucem" (full sentence "Sublimia petens ingenium/ Coelestem adspicit lucem"). The Danish word is "Den ?jner det himmelske lys".

In English, it is "It beholds the celestial light".

There are two theories about the "It", one is that it is the Nordic mythology of Widvernier, who witnessed the light of wisdom that penetrated the sky at the University of Copenhagen, and the other is the poem Hornbjarg ("Horn Crag") by the Icelandic poet Jónas Hallgrímsson, who was studying for a degree in both literature and natural sciences at the University of Copenhagen, in which the eagle is the contemplation of thinkers such as Plato – or more broadly, the human spirit – The image of the eagle staring at the end of the sky, because it is not afraid of the sun, but the eyes are sharp, which means that only by being ambitious, not afraid of hardships and dangers, and the candle is faint, can we approach the truth.

This motto translated into Chinese is "As far as the eye can see, the sky is wonderful".

In October 1728, a four-day fire broke out in Copenhagen, burning nearly 30% of the city's buildings and leaving 20% of the city's population homeless.

The fire also destroyed the University of Copenhagen Library, burning nearly 40,000 books, many of which were rare and unique copies from the Middle Ages, and the observation equipment and observation records of the University of Copenhagen Observatory were also burned.

However, the school survived the fire of 1795.

While the school was untouched by the Battle of Copenhagen (1801) in 1801, the Geological Museum was destroyed in the Battle of Copenhagen (1807) between Britain and Denmark in 1807, when British fleets bombarded the city of Copenhagen and destroyed more than half of the University's historic buildings.

In 1836, the new main building of the university was inaugurated [18]. Many of the University of Copenhagen's affiliated institutions, including the library, the Zoological Museum, the Geological Museum, the Botanical Garden, and the Greenhouse, were established during this time.

In the 20th century, the University of Copenhagen shifted its development to the north of the city of Copenhagen, establishing a new university hospital, a new library, a center for theoretical physics, and a center for natural sciences in the Botanical Garden.

The University of Copenhagen now has many museums, museums such as the Zoological Museum, the Botanical Garden and Greenhouse, the Geology Museum, the Medical Museum, etc.

The Geological Museum now houses more than 8 million samples, while the Botanical Garden has the largest collection of extant plant species, with more than 30,000 species of plants worldwide and three gene banks.

The University Library of Copenhagen is now part of the Royal Library, The National Library of Denmark and Copenhagen University Library[19], making it the largest library in the Nordic region.

The highest governing body of the University of Copenhagen is the Council of the University, which is composed of students, faculty, management and technical staff.

Faculty members are emeritus professors, professors, associate professors, and assistant professors, as well as visiting professors, senior advisors, and specially appointed expert tutors and academic employees. Schools hire talent in an eclectic way, but still need to follow a series of regulations from the Danish government to ensure that students receive the highest quality of internationally accredited teaching.

In 2014, the university had more than 10,000 employees, more than half of whom were teachers, more than 40,000 students, including more than 23,000 undergraduates, more than 20,000 master's and doctoral students, and nearly 4,000 international students.

The University is financed mainly by direct grants from the state. The annual budget for 1999 was DKK 2.42 billion, of which approximately 400 million kroons were funded by the National Research Council, international organizations and private foundations and companies.

With a budget of more than €1 billion in 2010, the university is the fourth largest in Europe, behind Oxbridge and ETH Zurich.

Denmark has a population of just over 5 million, less than one-tenth of that of the United Kingdom, two percent of the United States, and five thousandths of China.
