One of the most interesting paradoxes(矛盾) in America today is that Harvard University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States, is now engaged in a serious debate about what a university should be, and whether it is measuring up. Like the Roman Catholic Church and other ancient institutions, it is asking -- still in private rather than in public -- whether its past assumptions about faculty, authority, admissions, courses of study, are really relevant to the problems of the 1990’s.
Should Harvard -- or any other university -- be an intellectual sanctuary(圣所), apart from the political and social revolution of the age, or should it be a laboratory for experimentation with these political and social revolutions; or even an engine of the revolution7 This is what is being discussed privately in the big clapboard(隔板) houses of faculty members around the Harvard Yard.
The issue was defined by Walter Lippmann, a distinguished Harvard graduate, several years ago.
"If the universities are to do their work," he said, "they must be independent and they must be disinterested... They are places to which men can turn for judgments which are unbiased by partisanship and special interest. Obviously, the moment the universities fall under political control, or under the control of private interests, or the moment they themselves take a hand in politics and rite leadership of government, their value as independent and disinterested sources of judgment is impaired..."
This is part of the argument that is going on at Harvard today. Another part is the argument of the militant and even many moderate students; that a university is the keeper of our ideals and morals, and should not be "disinterested" but activist in bringing the nation’s ideals and actions together.
Harvard’s men of today’ seem more troubled and less sure about personal, political and academic purpose than they did at the beginning. They are not even clear about how they should debate raid re solve their problems, but they are straggling with them privately, and how they come out is bound to influence American university and political life in the 1990’s. [br] Another part of the argument in Harvard is that ______.
选项
A、a university should join actively in political and social issues
B、a university should not be interested in political and social issues
C、a university should be a strong supporter of the military force
D、a university should be moderate in its development
答案
A
解析
哈佛大学中另一方持有的观点是大学不应该disinterested,应该是国家理想与道德的推行实践者。C)、D)两项与文意不符,文中涉及militant,moderate两点的句子指的是比较偏激的学生与一些温和主义者的情况,并非指这两类人所持观点。
