16、and he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford-an unusual honor for a citizen of a young, uncultured nation-and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature.

23、ates as a purely commercial power.Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fun-damental question, however, is how does the community want or need to
24、be served? In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the govern-ments and the public to ensure that they do not remain “ivory towers (象牙塔)“ of study separated from the realities of everyday life.

25、trained (强迫), to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills re-quired for the commercial use.If Aristotle wanted to work in a university/in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher. A po
26、st-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, manag-ers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but “man“, as the Bible says,“does not live by bread alone. “ Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to e
