On October 18, 1900, the first entrance examination for the Australian National University, which had been publicized and already known, officially began.

Because of the nature of the Australian National University to cultivate the talents needed by Australia, the content of this admissions examination is also related to five majors, five majors and five papers, and each major is selected for admission, only looking at ability and not others.

This is a good way to screen out students who are gifted in various majors, rather than being like later generations, who seem to teach everything but actually learn nothing.

What Australia needs at the moment is a professional, not a so-called university student who is involved in all aspects but does not know anything.

Arthur had not read the questions jointly produced by the teachers, but Arthur could see from the mood and conversations of the candidates in the two days of the exam that this professional exam was far from being as simple as it seemed.

Because of the large number of papers, Arthur urgently mobilized a group of teachers and educated officials to work overtime to correct them, and finally completed the correction of all the papers after more than ten days, and counted the results.

Nov. 2, Sydney, in front of the Australian National University.

Thousands of candidates are waiting anxiously around the university gate, some of them may be excited, some may be restless, but they are all looking at the gate with great anticipation.

For them, they don't have to worry about choosing a major, because after passing the professional exam, each major will admit them according to their grades.

But that's the case, if they don't get admitted to the majors with better performance, then the majors with poor performance can be imagined.

Soon, the university faculty walked out with a bulletin board full of names and placed it in the most prominent position at the school gate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the admission list for each major of the Australian National University is here, you can carefully see if there is your own name, but it is forbidden to make noise at the school gate. All students who are admitted will officially enroll in three days, and those who are not admitted should not be discouraged, and the next enrollment period will be in September next year, and they will be able to apply for the exam at that time. ”

After a brief introduction, the university faculty returned to the campus. And those candidates hurriedly walked to the bulletin board, trying to find their names on the bulletin board.

Time flies, and three days pass in a blink of an eye.

The candidates who were successfully admitted could not wait to wait at the school gate, just to enter the campus they had dreamed of for a long time as soon as possible.

Those who are not admitted will go back dejected on the same day. After all, Arthur's free accommodation for these candidates is only until the end of the exam, after which they have to stay in Sydney at their own expense.

It didn't take long for the doors of the university to be opened, and a full 800 new students officially stepped onto the campus of the Australian National University in a cheer.

Arthur was on the highest building on campus at this time, looking at these students in their prime, Arthur smiled with satisfaction.

All expenses of these more than 800 college freshmen at the university are provided by Arthur, including room and board, and various tuition and fees.

As long as he adds a few courses of ideological education to the university, Arthur can guarantee that these college students will become his loyal supporters, his most loyal team.

These young people also have the advantage of being more avant-garde and receptive to any reforms Arthur has made in Australia.

And young people are often hot-blooded, and they can also influence their families and hometowns.

With the graduation of batches of enthusiastic college students year after year, the bottom and middle elites of Australia will be in the hands of Arthur in the future.

The opening ceremony is naturally indispensable, not to mention the opening of the first class of students at Australia's first university.

Arthur attached great importance to the opening ceremony this time, and even dispatched the Guards to take charge of the etiquette.

The purpose is to make these college students who have just entered the university full of enthusiasm, and devote all their spirit and thoughts to allegiance to the country and Arthur.

The opening ceremony began with Arthur's speech, which reviewed the history of Australia from a colony to the present as an independent country, and incidentally publicized his own achievements and reaffirmed his goal of making Australia rise.

The encouragement to these young people was then emphasized, and the establishment of the scholarship was officially announced.

Under this kind of combination of punches, these college students who have just entered the school are like new daughters-in-law getting off the sedan chair, and they can only be at the mercy of others.

Then there were the speeches of the university president and the deans of the majors, but Arthur had no interest in listening to the old fellows' chatter, and withdrew early.

Although Arthur only attended the opening ceremony for less than an hour, the sensation caused was indeed huge.

The reforms and policies that Arthur carried out in Australia are well remembered by all Australians, especially these young men who have reached the age of eighteen or nineteen, because they have no experience in society, are very susceptible to the influence of public opinion, and blindly have a good impression and malice towards a person.

Fueled by the media that Arthur was in charge of, Arthur had become a perfect monarch in the minds of these young people, the savior of Australia from fire and water.

With Arthur's encouragement, the enthusiasm and impulsiveness that these young college students can burst out can naturally be imagined.

It is precisely because of this that the semi-military management pursued by the university has been very smooth. Although nearly eleven hours of study were devoted to studying from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day, except for the time spent eating and resting, none of the students complained, and everyone threw themselves into the vast team of studying.

In order to equip these valuable college students with sufficient abilities, rather than just talking on paper.

Arthur specifically allowed each major to have an opportunity to go out once a week for practice, and asked all departments to cooperate with the students' practice.

This can be a chore for mechanical and construction students, after all, Australia's industry is under construction, and there is a lot of hard work and equipment transportation that no one can do, and these students with a little experience are perfect candidates.

Although I was a little suspicious of being a coolie, I was able to learn a lot of knowledge through practice, so none of these students objected, but they were all looking forward to the weekly practical activities.

Arthur was happy to do the same, and the industrial department was eager for the students with a little foundation to replace the workers with no foundation, so the matter was settled.
