“There are few earthly things more beautiful than a university”.
The Past Is Prologue
by John Masefield
It is a place where
Those who hate ignorance
May strive to know …
Where those who perceive truth
May strive to make others see …
Where seekers and learners alike,
Bonded together in the search for knowledge
Will honor through in all its finer ways …
Will welcome thinkers in distress or exile,
Will uphold ever the dignity of thought and
Learning,and exact standard in all these things.
They give to the young in their impressionable
Years,the bond of lofty purpose shared,
Of a great corporate life
Whose links shall not be loosened until they die.
They give to young people
That close companionship
For which youth longs …
And that chance for endless discussion of themes
Which are endless – without which youth
Would seem a waste of time.
There are few earthy things
More splendid than a university …
In these days of broken frontiers
And collapsing values …
When dams are down
And the floods are making misery …
When every future looks somewhat grim …
And every ancient foothold
Has become something of a quagmire …
Wherever a university stands it stands and
Shines …
Wherever it exists,the free minds of men,
Urged on to full and fair inquiry,
May still bring wisdom into human affairs.

存在着些世俗的东西比整个大学都要美丽
过去就是序言
-----John Masefield(约汉.梅斯匪尔德)
这是一个,
那些讨厌无知的人追求知识的地方…
那些感知到了真理而要散播出去的地方…
团结一起去追寻知识,
会从各方面带来荣誉,
会永远的支持思想和知识的尊贵,还有其中严谨的标准.
他们在青年们最容易受感动的年华给予他们整个伟大社会生活的团结意识.
他们为了青年渴望的东西而给予青年们那些紧密的友谊…
还有那些无止境的争论,如果缺少了青年(的参与),那将会是浪费时间.
尘世中存在着一些东西比整个宇宙都要壮丽…
当今,那些受破坏的边境和正在瓦解的价值观,
当堤坝倒下,洪水就会出来制造灾难..
当未来都有着危险….
每一个远古的立足点都成为沼泽一样的东西的时候…
无论大学立于哪里它都会坚持着闪耀着…
无论它存在于哪里,那些有着自由思想的受到公平观念驱使的人们,
仍然会给人类带来智慧.
