"And what are you going to do about it?" The speaker was a senior sister from the School of Management of BJ University, and in the introduction just now, Junxin learned that she is now studying for a master's degree at Harvard Business School and can graduate in the first half of next year.

"Among our people, there are Peking University students!" As he spoke, he nodded to the senior sister who spoke just now, "There are students from Shuimu University, Fudan University, Jiaotong University, Nanjing University, Wuhan University, Sun Yat-sen University, and Xi'an Jiaotong University. Junxin enumerated them one by one, and saw that every time he said a name, how many people nodded in response?

"But if we remove the name of the school, we will find that in fact everyone learns very different things. Among the natural sciences, science and engineering correspond to the study of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, and so on. Among the social sciences, there are business, literature, philosophy, history, and so on. The things we learn are always inseparable from the scope of these disciplines. ”

"I took a closer look at the development trend of the Ivy League of Eight and I found that the Ivy League of Eight is a competitive and united whole. To be honest, there are many schools in the United States that are not under the Ivy League of Eight, such as Massachusetts, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and so on. But no school dares to say that its strength has surpassed the Ivy League of Eight combined, and even the University of California, a school alliance, does not have the courage. ”

"Of course, this is externally, the Ivy League is a united whole. Internally, the Ivy League is also a competitive group. For example, the competition between the mathematics department of Princeton University and the mathematics department of Harvard University, such as the competition between the Wharton School of Pennsylvania and the Harvard Business School, and so on. ”

"Put these in the country, then we can make an analogy. I am afraid that you know your alma mater far better than me. But as far as I know, in China, the strongest mathematics departments are Fudan University and BJ University, although I don't need to be humble to say, I'm afraid that we will have to add our Mizuki University later. However, I would say that the strongest is not one, but two or more universities, so that there is the possibility of competition and alliance. ”

"For the same engineering disciplines, our school can be called the first in China, but in the same way, the hand-in is not much worse. There are so many of them that I won't list them all. ”

"My suggestion is that there is no need to set up a special organization, but to establish a strong alliance and a strong and weak complementary joint mechanism starting from the external relations department and academic exchange department under the student union of each university, and the advantages of each school and the resources of each school should be combined. We can do it first, what do you think? ”

What Junxin is talking about is a small part of the future C9 alliance after its establishment, so the feasibility is still relatively high. And these are selected by the top universities in China, which themselves have a strong sense of judgment, and they can probably hear the hidden meaning of Junxin's words without saying a lot of words, that is, they may finally promote the establishment of an intercollegiate alliance similar to the Ivy League of Eight Universities.

Junxin's words obviously attracted everyone's attention and a discussion, since they are all students of Harvard University and students of the Ivy League of Eight Schools, they naturally have a very good understanding of how the Ivy League operates, and of course they are also very clear about the benefits. But understanding does not mean that there are no worries, the simplest two points.

The first is how each school is positioned in the league. In the Ivy League, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Princeton are undoubtedly the first, while the University of Pennsylvania, Brown University, Cornell University, and Dartmouth College are undoubtedly one notch lower. So when it comes to the existing universities in China, there will undoubtedly be a positioning in the end, and which university will be in what position will be a big problem, which is more of a headache than a simple academic alliance.

The second issue is resource sharing. In fact, this problem is really a headache, the problem of resource sharing, not to say that the establishment of a student group can be solved, the final decision on this problem can never be on the students, only the school, so the problem of resource sharing can only be limited before the formal recognition of the school management.

For these two issues, in fact, Junxin does not have any good ideas, and can only hope for the support of the international students from various schools present. In fact, Junxin didn't really come to achieve this idea today, but just to put forward a will.

"I think that although your proposal has many flaws, I think it is also a trend of university development, competition and alliance, and it is necessary!" As an alumnus and senior sister of Shuimu University, Chen Hui first stood up to support her junior brother.

"I also think there are flaws, but the union is inevitable, resource sharing, not to mention anything else, the resources of the libraries of various universities alone are enough to meet a large part of our needs." A senior brother from the University of Science and Technology of China also stood up in agreement.

"That's right, the library of Fudan University has actually begun to open to the public, and I don't think there will be any problems with the rest!" A female student at Fudan University said. The president of Fudan University is the famous mathematician Mr. Su Buqing, and mathematicians will always sympathize with each other, if Junxin really makes this suggestion, it is difficult to guarantee that Mr. Su Buqing will not agree.

"There is no problem with Peking University!" After some deliberation among several people in Peking University, a boy stood up and said lightly. Indeed, BJ University has always adhered to academic freedom and inclusiveness, and is the school that is most likely to be tempted by Junxin's proposal.

A student from Sun Yat-sen University stood up and asked, "I have a question, if there is a joint effort, how can the exchange of information between them be carried out?" ”

Sun Yat-sen University is located in Guangzhou, southern China, although it belongs to the first line of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but it is a bit far away from the dense places of Chinese universities, most of China's top universities are concentrated in the first line from BJ to SH, Guangzhou is indeed a little far away, at least for the 80s.

"I have also thought about this question, now that the country is implementing the strategy of reform and opening up, Hong Kong's return will become inevitable, so I suggest that Sun Yat-sen University can cooperate and exchange with the University of Hong Kong, the University of Hong Kong Chinese and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, just like the University of California and Stanford University!"

"It's a good idea, and we don't have a problem with Sun Yat-sen University!"
