In the midst of the hustle and bustle, 1896 passed quickly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

John and Anna were a year older, and the elder Huntelaar, although he was still physically and mentally good, was already getting older, and his situation began to deteriorate in all aspects. So even if he didn't want to, John could only slowly take over the management of most companies - it was management, but it was actually a supervision, and he preferred to hand over the management to professional managers such as Taylor, and then send a large number of accountants to supervise.

John gave the rest of his time and energy to the universities and Chinese students who were in the process of building.

In fact, if you are serious, John has been spending less and less time in the hospital in recent years, and is currently only guaranteed one day a week, and the corresponding academic "achievements" have also decreased. On the one hand, it was because there were so many things that he had to distract himself from his energy and time, and on the other hand, it was also the result of John's careful consideration. Because of his crossing, many theories and techniques have appeared or been perfected in advance, such as local anesthesia in the field of surgery, blood group transfusion technology, improved aseptic technology, etc., which have brought a huge impact to surgery!

It takes time to digest all of this.

For example, ABO blood group and subsequent blood transfusion technology have historically taken more than a decade from being proposed to being widely accepted, and even if John's reputation has increased rapidly, it is still not an easy task in this world. So after careful consideration, John decided to slow down a bit and wait for the other surgeons in the world.

So by the time Huntelaar Medical College opened in September 1897, there were eighty new students!

In June 1897, in addition to two surgeons and one student who chose physiology, two other students in the first class of Heinz Medical College completed their two-year residency and all remained at Heinz General Hospital. An internal medicine physician, an obstetrician-gynecologist, their knowledge and abilities are highly recognized by Osler and Kelly, among others. So after the two officially joined the company, Thomas was very generous and offered a high annual salary of 2,000 US dollars - a figure that was quite generous in New York in 1897!

After the news broke, the appeal of Huntelaar Medical College skyrocketed!

You must know that not only Heinz General Hospital, but also hospitals such as Hopkins in Baltimore and Columbia in New York all offer high salaries, even higher than those of Heinz General Hospital, but they are not hired. So when the medical school started recruiting students in July, there was a huge crowd and many applicants.

After consulting with professors in various disciplines in detail, John set the number of students for that year's enrollment at 80!

Last year, there were only 50 people, and this year it has reached 80 in one go, which undoubtedly brings a lot of pressure to Heinz Medical School. It's okay to say that the equipment or something, the key is the pressure of the teachers. Fortunately, John is not blindly increasing the number of students, but also increasing the number of teachers, and in two years, more than 20 people have been recruited from Europe, and in addition to research, they have quickly devoted themselves to teaching......

The preparations for the University of Huntelaar have also been smooth sailing.

The construction of hardware facilities is the simplest, whether it is a teaching building, a laboratory building or a canteen and other necessary facilities, with abundant capital investment, it is a steady builder. And as staunch supporters of sports, neither Lowell nor Dewey opposed John's decision to build a large number of sports facilities. Overall, the new campus is quite large, and can accommodate at least 5,000 students at the same time. As for the more difficult recruitment of teachers, it is also going quite smoothly in the face of John's high salary - as long as he promises to take on certain teaching tasks after the school is completed, in addition to the high salary, Huntelaar University will immediately provide funds for scientific research.

In less than a year, Lowell had recruited more than a dozen brilliant scientists.

It's just a pity that the real top talents in this era are basically in Europe, and there are too few in the United States, so among these dozen people, the only one who is famous in later generations is Robert? Andrew? Milligan, Nobel Laureate in Physics in 1923. And what makes people speechless is that Mr. Milligan, who has just returned from studying in Germany, is willing to come to New York not because he is the first Ph.D. in physics at Columbia University, but because of the paper published by John a few years ago!

That's right, the same physics paper that revealed the existence of electrons.

Although John has avoided contact with physicists over the years, and even did not hesitate to offend many big names, several papers of that year had a huge impact on the physics community, and as time passed, physicists understood the concepts of radioactivity and electrons. The more influential the name Huntelaar will be!

The power of the three major discoveries of physics at the end of the 19th century was not Gade.

Therefore, Milligan, who later won the Nobel Prize by relying on the oil drop experiment, was of course very interested in John, so after hearing about the establishment of Huntelaar University, Mao recommended himself and took the initiative to apply for a job. Of course, if you look closely, most of the seven physicists Lowell recruited came from here......

Unfortunately, John didn't know the name of the future bull.

Or even if he knew Milligan's name, John wouldn't have cared too much. In his view, many Nobel laureates are not necessarily better than others in the same period, except for Einstein, Heisenberg and other real bulls, many people's success is full of chance. So in John's view, what matters is not what honors they have received in the history books, but their attitude and development potential. After all, with John's existence, whether it is an old profession of medicine, or a layman's physics and chemistry, will the honor of Huntelaar University be less in the future?

In a word, the establishment of the university went quite smoothly.

According to Lowell's estimates, it may not be until 1900, and by 1899 at the latest, the University of Huntelaar will be open for the first class of students. And in order to achieve this goal, John can only continue to increase his investment in the university and write one huge check after another......

Comparatively, John? Dewey was much more "real".

The Huntelaar Elementary School, which was completely autonomous, allowed Dewey to show off his skills, and the Chinese students were free to pinch and knead without annoying parents around them. As long as he doesn't cross the line, John is almost at his mercy. Of course, in order to show that his educational philosophy is correct, John? Dewey certainly wouldn't be nonsense, and on the contrary, because of Americans' inherent discrimination against the yellow race, isn't it more telling that even these "stupid" Orientals can be taught well?

With this unspeakable goal, John? Dewey put a lot of energy into these Chinese kids!

The 36 teenagers lived up to the expectations of John and Yung Hong, and in the course of a year, they not only adapted to the environment of New York, but also barely mastered English, at least it was not a problem to communicate with the teachers. After the two Chinese teachers stationed in the station replied with great satisfaction, Yung Hong was relieved to start the selection of the second batch of students - this time, the number reached as many as 48. And what is different from last year is that after Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangjiang, learned the news, he sent someone to send 1,000 taels of silver, and led a group of squires to donate, and finally sent 16,000 US dollars together with 58 children......

With relief, John asked the school to accept the money.

$16,000 is a huge number, and you can imagine how difficult it is for Yung Hong to raise this money. So John put them all into the school, built a lot of sports facilities, and ordered the school to improve the nutrition of the students. For a while, the reputation of Huntelaar Primary School was very good, and many people were moved by it after hearing about it, and sent their children in.

Although there will be discrimination and other phenomena in the increasing number of white children in elementary school, in John's opinion, the benefits do outweigh the disadvantages. Just as the white children had to accept the yellow students, the Chinese children had to accept everything around them, rather than hiding forever in the castle that John had built for them.

All went well, and at the end of 1897, Yung Hong sent John a third batch of young students, increasing the number to fifty-seven, along with nearly $20,000...... (To be continued.) )
