Chapter 14: Expectation
"Gentlemen from the Huntelaar Medical School, please gather in the Great Hall as soon as possible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
On the campus of Huntelaar Medical College, the world's first campus radio system is at work, and the sweet voice keeps reminding the two hundred freshmen: "The opening ceremony will be in ten minutes, John? Mr. Huntelaar will be present at the ceremony, so please be sure to be on time......"
"Hope, go!"
An oriental young man with an anxious face greeted his companion loudly: "Mr. Huntelaar personally attended the opening ceremony, it would be too ...... if you were late"
"Panic what!"
Regarding his anxious attitude, his companion still looked unhurried, and said calmly: "It will be enough for us to walk to the auditorium for five minutes at most, and we won't be late." And...... It's the opening ceremony of the Huntelaar School of Medicine, John? When has Mr. Huntelaar been absent? Be calm, be calm! “
”……“
His calmness made his companion obviously speechless, and he rolled his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Obviously, Mr. Huntelaar attaches great importance to medical school, but this is not a reason for you to be lazy!" We are where we are today thanks to Mr. Huntelaar's funding...... Oh, by the way, I forgot that you are from a wealthy family, and you can come to study at your own expense, but if you want to study in Colombia as a Chinese and then be admitted to the Huntelaar Medical College, you must rely on the help of Mr. Huntelaar......"
"Okay, okay, can't I be wrong?"
Hearing his companion's nagging, the calm young man suddenly had a headache, and hurriedly smiled bitterly: "In that case, let's not delay time, let's leave quickly...... As you said, Mr. Huntelaar is here in person, and we can't afford to be late and disgrace Chinese us...... Well, I wonder if Mr. Huntelaar will give a speech this year? I heard that he hadn't spoken in years. ”
"Don't worry about this, let's go!"
At the urging of their companions, the two quickened their pace and ran towards the Great Hall together.
September 1, 1913 was the beginning of the school year again.
With the rapid rise of Huntelaar University, its influence in the United States is increasing, especially in the Northeast region of the United States, more and more universities in the radiation area of the Ten Universities Alliance have begun to study from Huntelaar University, including the academic system, curriculum and so on. Therefore, in 1913, many American universities began to choose a two-semester one-semester system, and September 1 became the opening day of many universities.
As in previous years, John chose to attend the opening ceremony of medical school.
As a member of Huntelaar University, Huntelaar Medical School has always been different because they have a separate opening ceremony, and the ceremony has a John ? Mr. Huntelaar will be there in person! There are three things that are well known about Mr. Huntelaar in the whole of Huntelaar University: first, he is the most outstanding professor of Huntelaar University, who has written many textbooks including surgery, anesthesiology, etc., and has a high reputation in the world; Second, because he has lived in the East, he will sponsor Chinese to study in the United States on a large scale every year, and Huntelaar University alone has hundreds of Chinese students enrolled every year; The third is the preference for medical school, as long as people are in New York, they will inevitably attend the opening and graduation ceremonies of medical school, but the related activities of Huntelaar University are not always ......
Among the 120 new students, 16 are Chinese.
This is an astonishing ratio, and as the influence of Huntelaar universities and hospitals continues to expand, especially the incomes of physicians who graduate from the Huntelaar system, the difficulty of the entrance exams for medical schools has long since increased to the point that it is daunting for ordinary excellent university graduates! Each year, after the admissions plan is announced, the Huntelaar School of Medicine welcomes the lowest four-digit number of applicants, most of whom are students from top universities such as the Northeast 10 University Alliance. As Chinese, being able to get admission tickets to these elite races is enough to prove their excellence.
In fact, there is more than just one college of Huntelaar Medical College.
Today, Huntelaar University enrolls hundreds of Chinese students every year, and if the scope is expanded to the ten universities in the northeast, this number is more than 1,000, and if it is expanded to the whole United States and Germany in Europe, this number will be jaw-dropping......
The long-term unremitting funding action has ushered in extremely brilliant achievements.
Nowadays, with the increasing number of schools invested by Huntelaar Bank in China and the improvement of the education system, John has begun to slowly reduce the number of children who stay in China and increase the financial assistance for international students. For example, in 1913, the number of children sponsored by the Huntelaar Consortium decreased by one-third compared with 1912, to less than 400, but the number of sponsored students in the United States increased dramatically again, exceeding 4,500! Although this is likely to reduce the number of elites, after all, the talents cultivated since childhood are amazingly excellent, far from being comparable to international students who have studied for several years, but it is conducive to increasing the number, after all, the cost of studying abroad for young children is too high!
In order to achieve this goal, John's annual investment is astronomical!
Without full control of the huge and incomparable Huntelaar consortium, John would not have been able to sustain such a large number of international students. You must know that from the beginning of Chinese studying in the United States to 1949, the number of all students studying in the United States was only 50,000 or 60,000, but now in 1913, the number has greatly exceeded 50,000, which is almost the same as the number of students who study in Japan every year......
Far from it.
By the time the young Chinese and his friends trotted all the way to the auditorium, it was already bustling with people.
In recent years, the enrollment of Huntelaar Medical College has been stable at 120 students. In order to ensure that all students receive the best medical education in the world, the Huntelaar School of Medicine has no idea of expanding its enrollment, so the demand for graduates exceeds the demand every year, and it is welcomed by the whole country. Under the unremitting excavation of the Northeast Ten University Alliance and even the universities in the United States, more than 70% of graduates are now lost every year, forcing the hospitals of the Huntelaar system to open their doors and begin to recruit graduates from other schools for residency training on a large scale, and then leave them to enrich their own physician team - although for a hospital, recruiting students from other colleges and universities is conducive to the development of academic diversity and avoiding academic inbreeding, but the obvious difference in the quality of graduates still makes many people very dissatisfied......
With the addition of the professors, the number of people in the auditorium exceeded six hundred!
Amid the performance of the college orchestra, the opening ceremony began. As with any previous year's opening ceremony, the Dean of the College, Professor Cushing, gave a warm welcome speech: in addition to welcoming the new students, he also wanted to re-emphasize to them the history and strength of the Huntelaar Medical School. Next, there will be speeches by professors, old students, and freshmen......
If there is a time-traveler here, it will be immediately understood.
With this familiar process, it can be said that John has moved the opening ceremony that he experienced more than 100 years later. Fortunately, people in the early 20th century were relatively homemade buns, and this process that made later people drowsy was not so tiresome. As for the future process innovation or something, John is very irresponsible to leave the future deans with a headache......
Mr. Huntelaar's speech, which people had been looking forward to, had not waited.
There is a legend at the Huntelaar Medical School that if at the opening ceremony of a given year, John? If Mr. Huntelaar gives a speech, then that class of students will definitely appear to be the biggest names in the field of medicine in the future! For example, Professor Cushing, the current president, and Howard of the West Coast Osler School of Medicine? President Kyle, and now Harvey of Harvard Medical School? Principal Spencer and so on. Without exception, all of these great men had heard Mr. Huntelaar speak at the opening ceremony of the year they entered the school. Of course, this statement was never acknowledged by Huntelaar, but as the medical school grew, he spoke less and less at the opening ceremony.
But......
The new students who entered in 1913 were obviously very lucky.
At the end of the school year, with Professor Cushing's enthusiastic introduction, John? Mr. Huntelaar steadily stepped up to the podium in the Great Hall, smiling and greeting the applause and cheers of hundreds of people who almost toppled the roof!
Every freshman is very excited at this time.
They are looking forward to Mr. Huntelaar's speech, and even more to becoming the future elite of the American medical community, just like the legend of the academy! It's just that what they didn't expect was that their harvest today even far exceeded their expectations......
