The difference between natural science and theology is not obvious in these years, people will always classify unexplained things as "miracles", whether they are natural phenomena or real "miracles", and some things are actually not explained by science until the 21st century, so people in these years cannot be blamed for ignorance, even the smartest people have their own limitations of the times.
Springfield Institute of Technology has done a great job in this regard, and in order to promote the natural sciences, Springfield Institute of Technology and ZAMA Lab have cooperated in all aspects, and many of the researchers in the ZAMA Lab teach at Springfield Polytechnic Institute, and there is a special bus between New York and Boston every week.
Springfield Tech's emphasis on the natural sciences has also influenced the philosophy of other institutions of higher learning in the United States, such as Harvard University and MIT, which are considering reducing the importance of theology and devoting more energy to the promotion of natural sciences.
"What is there to talk about at the Olympics, we are ready." Franklin didn't want to waste time at the Olympics, and finalizing where the graduates would go as early as possible was a big deal.
Don't look at whether Franklin wants to find something awkward for Li Mu, when it comes to business, Franklin still supports Li Mu's work, Li Mu and Franklin have reached a consensus that the normal operation of Springfield Institute of Technology cannot be affected because of the Olympic Games, nor can it affect the students' learning, so in order to make up enough for the 2,500 volunteers promised by Li Mu, Franklin still did a lot of work, and even asked some freshmen in the second half of the year to enroll early.
It's a good idea to at least get the freshmen acclimated to the Polytechnic campus in advance, which will allow them to start their university life sooner.
"Next week, the German team will arrive in New York, and then they will be admitted to the Polytechnic Institute, so you have to do a good job of hosting them." Li Mu still told him that Edward Jeffrey had reminded Li Mu that Li Mu would make sure that no major mistakes would occur.
"No problem, how many people are in the German team?" Franklin casually asked that in order to do a good job of reception, it is always necessary to know the number of Germans first.
It's-
Li Mu really didn't know how many people there were in the German team, Edward Jeffrey didn't say, and Li Mu didn't ask, so Li Mu could only answer honestly: "I don't know!" ”
"I don't even know the number of people, so how can we receive them?" Franklin was going crazy, and that was too negligent.
It is also understandable, everyone is the first time, mistakes are inevitable, Li Mu has no experience in running the Olympic Games in his previous life, and he will be blind in the details.
"Just prepare according to the standard of a total of 1,000 people, it is estimated that it is not much worse, and the German team cannot have too many people." Li Mu can only assume that the first Olympic Games in another time and space was in 1896, and Li Mu did not know how many people participated, so he could only roughly estimate.
"There are so many people in the German team?" Franklin was dumbfounded, if there were so many athletes in Germany, the total number of athletes was unknown, and it was certain that it would be beyond the capacity of Springfield Institute of Technology.
"I mean the total number of athletes, the total number of athletes, we only accept athletes." Li Mu didn't scare Franklin, compared with the athletes, the size of the delegation must be larger, after all, so many imperial countries must send officials to New York with the team, the officials are not terrible, what is terrible is the attendants of the officials, the aristocrats of this year, there are more than a dozen attendants when they go out casually, and Springfield Institute of Technology is not responsible for the reception of officials.
For this point, Li Mu still has a deep understanding, the nobles in these years are extremely extravagant, even if they go to the army, they will take their attendants to the barracks together, which is absolutely unimaginable in the 21st century, but it is natural in this year.
On the other hand, athletes in this year have no social status, and athletes who can play for their country in the 21st century can be regarded as the middle class, and there is no such concept in these years, think of the gladiators in the Colosseum in Rome, and the barbed wire bars around the European football stadiums in the 21st century.
"Alright then, a thousand is a thousand." Franklin finally breathed a sigh of relief, the size of a thousand people was still no problem, and the students of Springfield Polytechnic itself were several thousand.
"Lei, Lee, did you join the volunteers?" Li Mu still takes care of Jeff Li and Ray Gavin and will not let anyone be left out in the cold.
"Oh, Reem, are you crazy? How could Ray and Lee be volunteers, those distant mobilizers were not worthy of Ray and Lee's services. Franklin was also an old stubborn, with a deep-rooted concept of hierarchy in his head, and in Franklin's view, it was an insult to culture and science to let the destined Jeff Lee and Ray Gavin volunteer for those simple-minded and well-limbed fellows.
"Dean, you're so unfriendly." Li Mu was speechless, didn't he say that everyone who is good is equal?
"Actually, I wanted to participate." Jeff Li has the courage to express his attitude, he is only a teenager, he is very interested in everything, and the title of volunteer is not bad, and it sounds very dedicated.
Yes, the culture and science of these years are so noble, the students with excellent sports performance in the 21st century schools are all famous people, and they are not welcomed at all in this year, Springfield Institute of Technology is still good, the educational concept is relatively open-minded, and it is estimated that those athletes will not be allowed to enter the door in other schools.
Of course, this thinking is relatively old-fashioned, and now the social status of athletes is also improving, especially after the emergence of the National Automobile Rally and Rugby League, the social status of celebrities is gradually improving to a certain extent, such as Mason, who won the National Rally Championship for two consecutive years, although Mason has not become a member of high society, but among ordinary people, Mason is indeed very popular.
"No, your time should be spent on more meaningful things, does graduating from school mean the end of your studies? This conclusion is too shallow. Franklin decisively refused, not giving the eager Ray Gavin a chance to speak.
"Mr. Dean's words are right, is there no end to learning, you can still take the postgraduate entrance examination for a doctorate after graduating from university-" Li Mu said smoothly, not paying attention to what he said at all.
"What is a Ph.D.?" Franklin was very interested in Li Mu's words.
Yes, there is no difference between undergraduate and junior colleges, let alone master's and doctoral degrees, but Franklin's words also reminded Li Mu that if he could, the work of standardizing the education system could start with Springfield Institute of Technology, which would greatly enhance the status of Springfield Institute of Technology.
"Graduate student, Ph.D. - good idea, it should be like this." Franklin is also an education expert now, and after Li Mu's explanation, Franklin immediately realized the benefits of standardizing the education system.
"We Chinese have an old saying called 'learning is endless', we all know that this sentence is true, but the meaning of this sentence is not reflected in the current education system, to give a simple example, such as the law department, is it enough for our students to fully understand the current law? We all know that that is definitely not enough, to become an expert in the law, not only to understand the current law, but also to understand the past law, as well as the development of the entire legal system, so as to find the law, better find the loopholes in the law, and then make up for the loopholes in the law, but this learning process, the existing education system is unable to achieve the goal, then more in-depth study is needed. Li Mu didn't hide his selfishness, he simply said it more thoroughly, as for how much Franklin could understand, it depends on Franklin's understanding.
In fact, it doesn't matter if Franklin doesn't understand, there is no shortage of smart people in this world, what is lacking is foresight and insightful advice, as long as Li Mu puts forward this idea, someone will naturally improve it.
"Yes, there is no end to learning, this is good, we can try it, and I will hold a teaching and research meeting when I get back." Franklin was also a smart man, otherwise he would not have been qualified to be the head of the chemistry department at MIT, and the teaching methods at Springfield Institute of Technology were still very advanced, at least through the collective efforts of the teaching and research committee.
"There's actually a question of qualifications here, like Ray and Lee, we all know that Ray and Lee are geniuses, so how should we use geniuses? According to your assumption, Mr. Dean, Lei and Li should be teaching after staying in school, so there is a question, is the work that Lei and Li are engaged in the same as the work that other students who stay in school? If it's the same, then how can you maximize the value of Ray and Lee? This is going to be a problem that you will need to solve for a long time to come. Li Mu delegated power, mentioned it and then let it go, without specific interference, I believe that Franklin will definitely give Li Mu a satisfactory answer.
In fact, it is necessary to select outstanding students from among the graduates to stay in the school to teach, don't look at the Springfield Institute of Technology in order to enrich the teaching force at the expense of spending a lot of money to recruit teachers from Europe, in fact, the recruited people are also good and bad, some people are in vain, the level of business is worrying, some people are directly not good character, there is no qualification to teach and educate people, these people will be replaced sooner or later, no matter what, they are the most comfortable to use the talents they have cultivated.
"Sir, I want to stay in school." It seems that Li Mu's endless learning is indeed very tempting, Li Jeff has been shaken, if he can continue his studies, Li Jeff does not mind postponing the time to enter the Junma Group, the richer the knowledge, the greater the role in the future.
"Aren't you still able to research when you're working? You used to be considered undergraduates, which is not full-time, and when you reach a higher level, you are all working and studying at the same time, otherwise it is also a waste of knowledge. "Li Mu is not angry, it is a good thing to love learning, and it is not good to be a nerd when he learns.
Although Li Jiefu did not understand the meaning of the term "undergraduate", this did not prevent Li Jiefu from understanding Li Mu's meaning. ”
It's-
Sure enough, it's a child, and it's not qualitative.
"Mr. Reem, since entering the Horse Group is no different from staying in the school, in fact, I want to stay in the school, and at the same time, I also want to enter the Horse Laboratory." Regavin also determined his ideals, science students are still relatively simple, and there are not as many twists and turns as liberal arts students.
"Yes, since you are not a volunteer, then you go to Boston to find Nikola Tesla, first enter the power group to feel the atmosphere, remember to talk less and see more, Nikola Tesla is a very good scientist, as long as you have a pair of good observation eyes, staying by Nikola Tesla's side will definitely be rewarding." Li Mu was not stingy, and found the best teacher for Lei Gavin within the scope of his authority, as for what kind of achievements Lei Gavin will have in the future, it depends on Lei Gavin's creation.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Reem, I will definitely study hard and watch less and more." Lei Gaiwen's mind is very simple, as long as he can work for Li Mu, he doesn't care about the specific job position.
"Ray, cherish the opportunity, Mr. Tesla is one of the best scientists in the Horse Laboratory, and he is presiding over the construction of the Niagara Hydropower Station, which is an opportunity that countless people have dreamed of." Ray Gavin had not yet realized what Li Mu's arrangement meant, and Franklin was relatively well aware of Nikola Tesla's position in the Horse Laboratory.
When Li Mu was still in the Far East, the Niagara Hydropower Station had already begun to be built, and Nikola Tesla presided over almost all the technical research and development of the hydropower station, although another time and space debated the world's first hydropower station, but within Li Mu's knowledge, the Niagara Hydropower Station was the world's first large-scale hydropower station that really used hydropower to generate electricity, at least, this "large-scale" is indeed certain, the so-called "hydropower station" of the French, compared with the Niagara Hydropower Station, It's as trivial as a craft workshop.
"Mr. Dean, Mr. Tesla has taught us, and we all know Mr. Tesla's level." Ray Gavin is overjoyed, because of the cooperation between Stallion Labs and Springfield Institute of Technology, Nikola Tesla is also one of the external professors of Springfield Institute of Technology, and Ray Gavin certainly knows Nikola Tesla's level.
In fact, no matter which industry it is, as long as you make achievements, age is no longer so eye-catching, Li Mu is actually a young man, and even Rockefeller can be regarded as a young person, but no one dares to despise them, Nikola Tesla is the same, don't look at Nikola Tesla just turned 20 years old this year, but in the Junma Laboratory, Nikola Tesla is already a formal researcher with the right to apply for projects, and at Springfield Institute of Technology, Nikola Tesla also enjoys professor treatment, No one objected to this.
