Saturday morning, June 4, 1921.
On a midsummer day, the sun is shining; At New York University, the warm breeze blows.
On the NYU campus, the bell tower where Yuan Yanqian once gave a speech has become a meeting place. The 1921 degree conferment ceremony will take place here.
Our Master Yuan and several of his friends came to the venue, and they all wore a very "Harry Potter" style bachelor's dress.
In fact, the "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" written by Aunt Rowling is an allusion to those famous schools in the United Kingdom. These institutions were originally transformed from medieval European seminaries.
The black robes and turbans worn by the monks in the seminary gradually evolved into the gowns and hats of later generations.
The later type of square flat hat (mortarbard) was the first to be adopted by the University of Oxford.
In the United States, Harvard graduates were the first to wear school dresses, and then they were used by universities, but the style was different from the dress still used in Europe, and it was different from school to school. In 1895, representatives of the various schools met to establish a uniform dress style, and in 1903, a unified standard system for college dresses in the United States was produced.
Therefore, although the dresses of various American universities in later generations differed in details, they were generally very similar.
Compared to Louis Baker and John McCall, as well as other Stern masters, Dr. Yuan's gown was more elaborate and different. The biggest difference is that the master's robe is square-sleeved, while the doctor's robe is flared-sleeved.
In addition, there was a 5-inch-wide velvet welt on each side of the chest button on the chest of his doctor's gown, and three parallel velvet welts sewn horizontally on the sleeves, which were gray in color, indicating that he was studying for a science degree.
Yes, economics does fall under the category of science.
By the way, grammar is pink, agriculture is green, engineering is yellow, medicine is white, and military science is red.
They naturally wear bachelor's hats on their heads. However, the tassel on Yuan's bachelor's hat is red, and the other masters are dark blue-black. This is also to distinguish between the two.
Although this kind of clothing is a little awkward to wear, our Master Yuan has worn it three times in his two lifetimes, so he can be regarded as familiar with it.
In fact, this is the embodiment of Western hegemony, and under the westerly wind, both the church schools of a hundred years ago and the Seris 985 colleges and universities a hundred years later will also adopt this Western etiquette.
Orientals not only have to work hard to learn the Western academic system, but even this inexplicable breaking of the rules has to follow.
This is the incompetence of the ancestors of Seris, otherwise the whiteskins should implement our Seris's initiation ceremony now.
Of course, aspire to be a ...... Yuan Yanqian, who should be a high-level Chinese now, will not wear a Hanfu to be different.
"Hello, Dr. Yuan."
"Hello, hello."
"Neo, long time no see."
"yes, yes."
"Dr. Yuan, can you sign for me?"
"Yes, you can."
"Neo, we must find a time to get together."
"Okay, okay."
Our Master Yuan has not returned to his "alma mater" for a long time, so he was naturally warmly welcomed.
Whether it was a student or a teacher he knew or not, he kept a warm smile and responded enthusiastically.
"Bell...... Clang...... Bell ......"
The bell on the bell tower rang ten times, and the ceremony officially began.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to NYU......"
Vice Chancellor James Bryan Conant, who was also dressed in a bright red rector's gown, came to the podium and loudly announced, "Welcome to the school's 1921 commencement ceremony." β
"Let us welcome the special guest of this ceremony, Mr. Albert Einstein."
Because of the butterfly effect of Yuan Da Traversal, Einstein did not return to China in May, but stayed until June, ready to leave for Europe with him.
Since he was in New York, with Master Yuan's face, NYU invited him as a guest. In fact, in the original timeline, he did come to New York University to give a lecture, but now the time is only postponed.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Amid the applause of the crowd, the greatest scientists of the twentieth century took to the podium. In fact, in addition to being the greatest, he is also the most popular scientist.
He shook the vice chancellor's hand and said, "Thank you, President Conant, thank you NYU for giving me this opportunity, I am deeply honored." I would say that NYU is a good school......"
His "my friend Neo-Yuan" heart said, in fact, it is not bad. This is not the No. 1 Normal School in Hunan...... (Author's note: The nephew of the descendant of the Heavenly Demon has a famous inscription: The First Division (Hunan) is a good school. οΌ
ββ¦β¦ NYU has produced great writers and brilliant economists like my friend Neo Yuan! β
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
With another round of applause, the great writers and outstanding economists trained by NYU hurriedly stood up and bowed several times to the surroundings.
ββ¦β¦ I wish this graduating class a bright future and make their due contribution to the world we all share! Thank you. β
A certain graduate of this class nodded secretly, and the others didn't know that Lao Tzu's future must be very ambitious. The contribution is even greater!
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The vice president, who re-entered the stage, raised his voice and said, "Let us thank Mr. Einstein for his blessings with applause......"
After the applause subsided, he pulled out a list and said, "Now please come to the stage of the graduates whose names you have heard......"
Because he had said hello in advance, our Master Yuan knew that he was the last to take the stage, so he chatted with Einstein who sat next to him with peace of mind.
"Albert, is the fundraising for the Hebrew University going well?"
Einstein smiled bitterly and said, "Neo, it's not going well." β
Yuan Yan said in her heart, it turns out that there is no surplus food in the Jewish family these days.
So he said with some hatred: "Albert, I have to say a word about you, you are guarding the granary and asking for food!" β
"Neo, what do you mean by that?" Even the greatest scientists of the twentieth century can't help but be polite when it comes to small money.
Master Yuan said as a matter of course: "It's very simple. With your fame, as long as you write a few books casually, won't you get paid? Do you still have to work so hard to earn your speeches? β
"But my books ......," Einstein said with an embarrassed face, "they are not very easy to understand." β
Yes, don't look at his old man's fame and popularity, but his books are not easy to sell.
Yuan Yan said seductively: "Albert, who told you to publish your kind of book." Can you write textbooks and educational books......
"I've even figured out the name for you. Listen, "Einstein Teaches You Mathematics", "Follow Einstein to Learn Physics", "Understanding the Theory of Relativity in Ten Days", ......"
"You can also write 'Mrs. Einstein on prenatal education.' Well, this Mrs. Einstein is your mother. β
"Mr. Einstein Speaks of Early Education". Well, this Mr. Einstein, of course, is not you, but your father. β
"If you want to write it yourself, write "How Gifted Children Like Me Are Raised"
"Neo, wait a minute." Einstein couldn't help but interrupt, "The first three books are easy to say, but the last three books are ......."
"Albert, you don't think you want to write these books yourself, do you?"
Our Master Yuan looked at him in surprise and said, "As long as you name these books and claim that you wrote them, it would be fine." I'll take care of the rest. β
"Neo, is this really going to work?"
"Mr. Albert Einstein, in front of you is the number one best-selling author in the United States today......"
