There are more and more students around,

The crowd was crowded, surrounding Lu Shi and several people, talking in a low voice.

Lu Shi said: "When discussing the scientific nature of news, we must take the lead in clarifying the industry. The primary industry mainly refers to the production of food and other biological materials ......"

Hearing this, the students below began to get agitated.

Someone finally couldn't help it,

"Professor Lu, there is no need to delay time by saying these well-known things. Although the division of the three major industries is not completely consistent in all countries in the world, it is quite different, and it can be summarized as primary agriculture, secondary industry, and tertiary service industry. ”

Lu Shixiao,

"So what do you know about service industry services?"

The student immediately replied, "Of course it's people." ”

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"That's not entirely true. The so-called "service" in the "service industry" originally refers to the service of production and life. For example, finance, creating demand and guiding consumption, is this to serve specific people? ”

The crowd was silent.

Suddenly, a student raised his hand, as if ready to retort.

Lu Shi preemptively said: "I understand~ I understand~ I'm talking about the ideal situation." As for what the reality is...... Huh-huh...... It's true that all services are 'licking' at the moment, but that's essentially another issue. ”

Those who were there were smart people who understood what the other problem was.

After a while, the student surnamed Williams spoke again: "But the problem is that science and engineering students don't do that. ”

As soon as these words came out, they were angry,

"What do you mean!?"

"What's the matter? Look down on our liberal arts? ”

"I think these people are studying formulas and giving their brains to the research show."

……

The scene became chaotic.

Lu Shi opened his arms to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The question of which is better or worse in industry, commerce, literature, and science has been debated since the Industrial Revolution, and no matter how much we discuss it now, we will not be able to distinguish the winner or loser." ”

The students made eye contact,

Subsequently, some people began to roll up their sleeves,

"Professor Lu is right, if you can't discuss the winner, then use your fists to speak."

Lu Shi was stunned,

I thought to myself,

Were young people in the early 20th century so reckless?

Butler next to him hurriedly said, "What do you want to do?" Calm me down! ”

The principal's words still work,

The atmosphere that was about to detonate at any moment eased slightly.

Lu Shi coughed lightly,

"Mr. Williams, first of all, I would like to point out one of your factual errors. You say, 'That's not the case with science and engineering students', so do you know Leibniz? ”

Williams nodded repeatedly,

"Of course I do."

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz,

A philosopher and mathematician, he is a rare generalist in history and is known as the Aristotle of the seventeenth century.

The corners of Lu Shi's mouth are hooked,

"You may not have heard that since 1685 Leibniz has been commissioned by Duke Ernst August, Elector of Hanover, to study the genealogy of the Brunswick-Lüneburg nobility."

The students at the scene were a little confused.

Butler was also curious,

"And this?"

Lu Shi nodded,

"Yes. After all, pure research doesn't make money, and Leibniz has to eat~"

Butler thinks about it too,

Those cattle people in history basically have three ways out:

1. Attachment to the nobility;

Second, his family is already very rich;

3. Self-reliance.

The latter two are pitifully few,

Like Schopenhauer, like Kant, you can count them on your fingers.

Lu Shi continued: "You may not imagine that Leibniz spent most of his time providing confidential services to the family, and that mathematical research was a part-time job. Mr. Williams, Leibniz served the aristocracy for a good quality of life, is this a 'lick' in your eyes? ”

Williams was stunned,

I sighed in my heart,

If Leibniz hadn't been a genius, he would have been able to achieve so much in this situation.

He looked up at Lu Shi,

"Professor Lu, Leibniz was a philosopher and mathematician. His 'licking' is only the act of being a philosopher, and as a mathematician, he is not 'licking'. ”

actually cut off Leibniz's two identities by force.

Lu Shi almost scolded on the spot when he heard it.

He didn't scold,

But it doesn't mean that the rest of the liberal arts students will be merciful.

"You're cutting fast!"

"Hypocrisy! Amusing! It's ridiculous! ”

"It seems that Leibniz is sick, and there are two little people doing different research in the brain."

……

Someone at the scene began to roll up their sleeves again.

Butler's face darkened, and he muttered, "These science and engineering students are also quite good at sophistry~"

Lu Shi spreads his hands,

"It's not necessarily sophistry. Perhaps, they do. ”

Butler: "Huh? "With a bang,

"What do you mean?"

Lu Shi explained with a smile: "Just like they believe in British politics and harmony, they really believe that science and engineering do not need to serve people when they are employed. ”

Butler spreads his hands,

"Isn't Great Britain a political communicator?"

After telling this joke, he couldn't help but laugh first.

Lu Shi said to Williams: "You think you don't need to 'lick' when you enter the laboratory...... Socialized? You thought you didn't need to socialize when you became an engineer? Do you think you don't need to socialize when farming in the countryside? Young man, do you want to do research all the time? You have to learn to please people and cheat money. ”

"Poof!"

Butler squirted.

He hurriedly grabbed Lu Shi, because what he said just now was too red.

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"So, there are more or less similar problems in various professions. It's just that there are more and some are less. If you enter journalism school, you can also aspire to be Henry George~"

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, there was a wave of news reports in the United States.

Shady Whistleblower Campaign.

The starting point was George's Progress and Poverty published in 1879, which opened the curtain on exposing literature.

A group of journalists and magazine writers with progressive ideas published a large number of investigative news reports in response to various ills in the political, economic, and social life of the United States at that time, which aroused strong public reactions and directly led to the arrival of the progressive movement in the United States.

The reporters and editors of the movement are the ones who are "licked".

The students began to talk in private again,

Some even considered whether to transfer to the School of Journalism in the new semester.

Anyway, the School of Journalism has a double degree requirement for graduates, and the previous professional courses will not be wasted.

Pulitzer slowly came up,

"Professor Lu, I think it's almost time for the fire."

Lu Shi is also the same opinion,

He cleared his throat,

"Also, I have to inform you. There are scholarships for admission to the School of Journalism, and graduates can also get the opportunity to work in the Mirror and Le Monde after graduation. ”

Saying a thousand things and ten thousand is not as effective as inducement,

Instantly, the students were eager to try.

Someone asked, "Professor Lu, will the scholarship really be awarded?" ”

The reason for this question is because the United States always draws a big pie.

At the time of the founding of the United States, the law ensured that students had access to financial aid in accordance with the law when they received higher education.

However, due to various influences, many education funding schemes and regulations have been repealed or remain ineffective.

To put it bluntly, there are only verbal guarantees, and they are not implemented.

The term "scholarship" is also gradually being forgotten.

Lu Shi said: "As you may know, the United Kingdom issued a decree this year to organize local education committees to administer education in their own regions, and began to set up scholarships, with the original intention of enabling poor and outstanding students to have the opportunity to receive education. ”

When the UK was suddenly mentioned, the students were a little confused.

Butler was quick to react,

He smiled,

"Have you forgotten about the Global University Rankings?"

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

Because of the rankings, universities around the world began to compete.

In order to compete with the University of London Alliance, the Ivy League in the United States was put on the agenda even decades earlier, and the fierce competition can be seen.

In this case, if the UK engages in scholarships, other countries will inevitably follow suit.

Some students are curious,

"Professor Lu, what's the situation in the UK?"

Lu Shi replied: "It's a dual-track system over there, and it has no reference value." ”

In the United Kingdom,

Children who reach the age of 11 and pass the examination may be transferred to secondary school on a scholarship.

Passing the general education examinations at the age of 16 and 18 at the "general level" and "advanced level", young people may also receive scholarships to enter higher education.

If you don't have a dual-track system to restrict further education, the cost will be so high that it will fly out of the sky.

Someone else asked, "What is the specific amount of scholarships awarded by the School of Journalism?" ”

"This ......"

Lu Shi was a little undecided.

Pulitzer got up,

"How about $70 for 1 person?"

This amount is equivalent to the average tuition for liberal arts colleges in the United States.

Lu Shi asked, "You're not afraid of bankruptcy?" ”

Pulitzer spreads hands,

"What's there to be afraid of? After all, journalism schools don't have much background, and it's rare to be able to enroll 50 students a year. More than $3,000, I'm relaxed for you. ”

Lu Shi: "......"

I don't know whether to say that the other party is too optimistic or too pessimistic.

He replied, "I can conclude that if you say $70 now, you'll have to spend more than $3,000 today." ”

Pulitzer mused,

After a long time, he asked Lu Shi: "Then 50 dollars?" ”

Lu Shi did not take a tone.

Pulitzer asked again: "$30?" ”

Lu Shi said: "This figure is actually very reasonable. But reason tells me that I will still overspend. ”

Pulitzer couldn't help but complain: "Don't you think this is inconsistent? ”

Lu Shi shrugged,

"Then you're done."

Pulitzer stepped forward and said, "We decided that the scholarship ...... The minimum threshold is $10! After that, it will be distributed according to the gradient, and the better the grades, the higher the scholarship! ”

The old brother still coaxed after all.

One of the students complained: "That's too small." ”

Pulitzer said, "I said, that's the minimum threshold!" Because we are the great United States, our education advocates universal education, not a dual-track system like the United Kingdom, so our scholarships are not only to help the poor, but also to reward the best! ”

The phrase "great America" made the students' blood boil.

Pulitzer continued: "In short, we are going to award scholarships on a merit-based, proportional, and progressive basis. ”

Based on grades,

From the perspective of proportion,

There are too many tricks that can be played by these two.

It's just that it costs an extra amount of money to invite obedient accountants and legal advisers to supervise, so that the money can run in the "sunshine" and make a show.

Pulitzer continued to incite: "In this way, we will surely keep America great!" ”

The students are even more excited,

"Good!"

"Well said!"

The atmosphere was warm.

After today's incident spreads, the resistance to admissions at the School of Journalism will definitely be much smaller.

Butler couldn't help but admire and whispered: "Professor Lu, Joseph, you can really do it." I have to say that being a tycoon in the media and advertising industry is to be good at observing people's hearts. ”

This is not a compliment, but a genuine appreciation.

In the next half hour, Lu Shi answered students' questions on the spot.

The sun goes down,

The sky was dyed orange-red.

But the more and more people around him, surrounded the gate of the journalism school.

Butler interjected, "Professor Lu is going to rest now. If you want to learn more about the School of Journalism, please read the Admissions Brochure. ”

After saying that, they separated everyone and escorted Lu Shi away.

The students are enthusiastic,

"Professor Lu, shake hands!"

"Professor Lu, please help me sign the title page of Lolita!"

"I love you! Land! ”

……

Someone had the honor of shaking hands with Lu Shi, and even yelled: "I don't wash my hands this week!" ”

It's crazy.

Finally, Lu Shi broke through the encirclement.

Butler smiled: "Professor Lu, I didn't expect you to answer so well without preparation. For example, the Leibniz incident was the first time I had heard of it. You're so knowledgeable, you should have accumulated it all in your daily life, right? ”

Lu Shi said: "Actually, the statements of those students are not without merit. For example, the original question about the requirement for a double degree ratio for journalism school graduates. ”

Butler couldn't help but ponder,

After a long time, he said: "I have also considered before, instead of asking for a double degree ratio, it is better to directly not have an undergraduate section, and the school of journalism only admits master's students." ”

As previously discussed,

Journalism Majors –

How to write, how to interview, how to design......

These technical things don't take four years to learn, two years is more than enough.

Therefore, if you want to stuff the credits with a four-year undergraduate, you must match it with courses that are of little significance.

Because of this, many schools do not recruit undergraduates directly.

Among them is Tsinghua University in China.

Lu Shi spreads his hands,

"Butler, Principal you know it's hard to implement. Because of this reform, not only journalism schools, but also many majors will suffer. For example, in business schools, a large number of professors will inevitably stand up against it. ”

When Butler glanced at Lu,

"Professor Lu, you really know very well~"

Both of them were like mirrors in their hearts.

If, as they say, four years of undergraduate to two years of graduate school, many courses that were originally used to earn credits for undergraduates will inevitably face transformation and upgrading to adapt to graduate students.

In this case, many professors can't keep up with their abilities and will be eliminated.

How could they not object?

In this world, there are few people who really think about students, but many people think about themselves.

Butler said, "So, we're going to have to settle for the next best thing." In order to truly send talents to the country and at the same time prove the strength of Columbia University, I decided to let more colleges 'loosen in and strictly out' and increase the double degree ratio of graduates. ”

Lu Shi gave a thumbs up,

"Headmaster, you're fierce. Aren't you afraid of being scolded by students? ”

Butler doesn't care,

"Isn't the principal here to be scolded for his back? Besides, if people want to scold, they must also scold you. It's your good start in journalism school~"

Lu Shi was speechless,

“……”

I didn't expect the other party to do this.

In this way, after the beginning of the 20th century, Columbia University became the most demanding school in the United States for undergraduate double degrees.

And the amazing thing is that the students didn't scold Lu Shi,

Because they've become utterly numb,

The textbook was compiled by Lu Shi;

The scholarship is issued by Lu Shi;

The seats on the board of directors are controlled by Lu Shi;

After graduation, the job assignment relied on Lu Shi's "Mirror";

……

One land hour on the left, one land hour on the right,

has been completely surrounded, and whoever comes to be a student will have to be numb.

Therefore, the students decided to change their strategy, turn scolding to worship, and carry the portrait or photo of Lu Shi, the "god of degrees", with them, and put them in their wallets, pencil cases, and shoe soles as things to ward off evil spirits.

For a while, Lu Shi's portraits and photographs were out of stock in the United States.

What's even more outrageous is that this method of warding off evil spirits is more popular among boys than among girls.

I don't know, I thought that all the members of the United States were Nantong~
