Catherine Tong Guò had two conversations, which successfully broke the hearts of the girlfriends sitting next to her. The carriage arrived in front of the villa and stopped. The lads gave their horses to the servants who had come up to meet them, and hurried to the carriage to help the girl they liked out of the carriage. Carol was obviously not familiar with this set, he first gave the reins to a servant very uneasily, and then kept telling the servant that my horse must be carefully maintained, not to tie it to other horses, to fight, not to give it dewy grass, it will lead to digestive problems...... And so, the girls were gorgeously ignored.

Such a table is naturally difficult to get the favor of the girls. It was already noon. The servants set up long tables on the grass in front of the villa, and put all kinds of food, as well as a variety of wines. It is a good time for young men and women to talk to each other and enhance their friendship. Older men would also get together, light a cigarette, and discuss the state of the world, or the stock market.

Carol knows what she's here for? So, he tried very hard to break into that group, however, Carol soon became frustrated, and none of the topics they talked about were familiar to him, and in fact, none of them were of interest to him. He didn't even figure out what the hell those guys were talking about. Although some of the girls took the initiative to talk to Carol, they soon realized that they had almost no topic together: Carol knew basically nothing about what the girls were talking about, and the girls were completely ignorant of what Carol was talking about. So, naturally, their conversation was very difficult. Although both sides have the desire to further strengthen communication, although both sides have had cordial and friendly conversations, fully exchanged views, and successfully enhanced the understanding between the two sides. But the two sides know each other basically - they can't communicate at all.

"So, what does Mr. MacDonald do most of his work outside of work?"

"Reading books, well, is mainly about reading books and learning." Carol replied.

"Mr. MacDonald, what books do you like to read?" The little girl across from her thought she had finally found a common topic.

"I have just finished reading the 1844 Manuscript of Politics and Economics, Philosophy and Poverty, and I am reading Wage Labor and Capital, and I am going to seriously study the Critique of Economics in the next step." Carol replied.

This answer obviously greatly surprised the young lady opposite, which ...... This...... What kind of books are these? Originally, the little girl wanted to discuss "Jane Eyre" or "Pride and Prejudice" or "Notre Dame de Paris" with Carol, but who knew that as soon as Carol opened her mouth, such a string of titles appeared. In the face of such a title, except for an unaware look, well, she could hardly say anything.

"Carl? Marx's book? A suspicious voice came from the side. Carol turned her head and saw Catherine standing aside.

"You know Carl? Marx? Carol sighed, and it seemed that she had finally found someone to talk to.

"Well, understand a little bit. Although Mr. Marx's attitude towards high society was extremely unfriendly, and the conclusions of his research were absurd, his book was valuable, at least in terms of political economics. Catherine said.

In fact, as an aristocratic lady, Catherine does not have much love for the difficult politics of economics or anything, and his understanding of politics and economics has been completely made up in the recent past. As for why the evil makes up for this, well, having a well-informed uncle is just good.

"Miss Catherine, you have almost exactly the same opinion of him as my brother Scrooge has of him. He told me that if you want to be a good businessman, you can't understand politics and economics at all. To be honest, these books are really hard to read. Carol smiled, and he had finally found a woman with whom he shared a language.

……

While Carol was finding spring in the early autumn of Britain, Scrooge was busy with another serious task at Gundam: building a university.

There is no such thing as a decent university in Cleveland, and creating a good university here can bring great benefits in terms of politics, culture, science and technology, etc. Think about it, if the academic status of this university can be compared to Harvard and Yale, then the influence of the students who come out of this university will spread to every corner of the country. And Scrooge, as their principal, can exert a huge influence on the whole of America through his influence on them. This kind of influence is Huang Chengcheng's gold.

Moreover, Scrooge did have the conditions to establish such a university. He is a scientist with world influence, with a dazzling halo of Academician of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom and the Academician of the French National Academy of Sciences. Recently, because of the "Washington Initiative" copied from later generations, it has also gained great fame in society. In addition, Scrooge is now very, very rich, and in Cleveland, no political faction can help but look at Scrooge's face, and his ally Gardner, with the prestige he helped him build, is very likely to win the mayor of Cleveland and even the governor of Ohio in the future. With so many advantages all in one, why can't you build an amazing university?

Scrooge discussed his idea with Rockefeller, and Rockefeller agreed with it very much. As a result, the construction of the university was also put on the agenda.

The first thing to determine is the name of the university. Well, in the beginning, Rockefeller wanted to put his last name in college as well, and get a Macdonald-Rockefeller University out. But Scrooge was adamantly opposed, saying that it was like advertising, when the name of the product was too long and too complex for the audience to remember. The name of a university is old and elder, and that is completely asking for trouble for yourself. Scrooge built yì, just name the university after the city of Cleveland. It's like Oxford, Cambridge or the University of Paris or Göttingen. Rockefeller, on the other hand, felt that as a privately funded school, it was only natural to name Yale University as such. He even suspected that Scrooge's reluctance to adopt such a naming method was because he didn't want him to share too much fame. Such a university, no matter what the name, as the founder of Scrooge, because he has already been famous, will never be forgotten, and he is different, if there is no himself in the name of the school, maybe it will not be long, there will not be a few people who remember that there is still a self among the funders of this university.

In the end, a compromise was reached: the proposed university would be called the University of Cleveland, and it would be a comprehensive university with two main campuses, one for the natural sciences and one for the humanities. The former is called MacDonald and the latter is called Rockefeller.

Underneath the MacDonald campus will be the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Engineering, the Faculty of Medicine, and the Faculty of Nursing. Below the Rockefeller Branch, for the time being, there were only the Faculty of Theology and the Faculty of Law, and only after about twenty years did the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Philosophy be added.

And then it's two things - build a building, find a master.

Mr. Mei Yiqi, an educator in the Republic of China, said: "The so-called university is not only a building, but also a master." There is some truth in this, but there is also a tendency to place too much emphasis on "masters" and despise "buildings". In fact, at least in science and engineering, the material base represented by the "building" is also very important. Imagine that if you didn't even have the most basic practical equipment, even if you dig Sir Newton out of the grave, I am afraid that you will not be able to achieve such an achievement as "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy". Moreover, with the continuous progress of science, the requirements for various practical equipment are getting higher and higher. For example, the famous European Institute for Nuclear Research (CERN) would never have achieved so many scientific research results without those large refueling machines with a total length of more than 27 kilometers and a power consumption comparable to that of a medium-sized city. Moreover, there is no "building", and the "master" is not necessarily willing to give in.

The city of Cleveland certainly welcomed Scrooge's vision. With the help of the city government, Scrooge bought a large tract of land on the shores of Lake Erie (which was public land for a nominal fee). ), began the construction of the University of Cleveland.

As for the masters, well, Scrooge immediately remembered that there was not a master in England who was depressed now? He's the one who's famous, well, you're wrong, how could it be Carl? What about Marx? It is one thing to learn his theories to help oneself to be more far-sighted and efficient in exploitation, but it is quite another to ask him to be a professor, which means to openly take the position of a hostile class. How can this work?

The master Scrooge had in mind was Maxwell. He laid the foundations of classical electromagnetism and is considered to be a great scientist on a par with Newton. The master had not yet had time to present his epoch-making magnum opus, On Electricity and Magnetism, nor had he gained worldwide fame, and he was now a professor of natural philosophy and astronomy at King's College London. The last time Scrooge went to London, I had some very pleasant conversations and discussions with him. Scrooge felt that as long as he used a well-equipped real yàn room as bait, he would definitely be able to catch this big fish.

"Should I write a letter to Carol and ask him to invite Mr. Maxwell instead of me, or should I follow Liu Bei's example and go on a trip myself?" Scrooge thought.
