Before the cloth flower was adopted in Britain in the16th century, ivy was used to brew beer, because mixing it with wheat would turn wheat into beer. So the flower language of Ivy is-influence. Pay special attention to another kind of Parthenocissus, also called "Ivy". But these are two different plants. Ivy League is a university federation composed of seven universities and one college in the United States.
They are:
Harvard University in Massachusetts.
Yale University in Connecticut.
Columbia University, New York
Princeton University in New Jersey
Brown University, Rhode Island
Cornell University, New York
Dartmouth College in New Hampshire
University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania
These eight universities are the leading universities in the United States, with a long history and rigorous scholarship. Many famous scientists, politicians and businessmen have graduated here.
In the United States, Ivy League schools are synonymous with top universities.
The so-called "Ivy League schools" refer to the eight most famous universities in the northeastern United States: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth and the University of Pennsylvania. These eight universities, except Cornell University founded in 1865, were all founded in 17 and 18 centuries, belonging to the oldest and most elite universities in the United States.
By the end of 19, a number of research universities have emerged, such as MIT, Stanford, University of Chicago and so on. Today, these newly established universities have at least become world-class universities alongside the Ivy League. However, in habit, people still call elite education Ivy League education.
Perhaps this is not just a habit. Even today, no Ivy League school can compare with the University of Chicago, which has trained more than 80 Nobel Prize winners. In terms of scientific and technological talents, MIT and Stanford will probably surpass ordinary Ivy League schools. However, if you look up American political elites, business presidents, top lawyers, "big shots" in the media, and even leaders in other fields, including presidents, lawmakers and government officials, then Ivy League is definitely the place where the most talented people come forth in large numbers. The educational goal of Ivy League is not only research orientation, but also success orientation. This kind of success is not only the secular success of our general sense of power, but also the success of people. Ivy League's ideal is to cultivate a perfect person, a person who can make himself happy and bring happiness to others. Ivy League should train the next generation of leaders. The values, foresight and ability of this generation of leaders are related to the future of the future society.
In today's era of globalization, Ivy is no longer an American concept, but a world concept. First of all, Ivy League is the best university in America and the best university in the world. Even The Times Higher Education Supplement published in London respectfully ranks Harvard and Yale first, followed by Cambridge and Oxford. Second, as the best university in the world, Ivy is open to the whole world. For example, in recent years, domestic newspapers frequently reported that a teenager from a province was admitted to an Ivy League university and won more than 50,000 US dollars in scholarships. This is no ordinary news hype. Ivy League is indeed expanding its enrollment in China year by year. Moreover, once China students are admitted, most of them will get full prizes, that is, the school will provide full tuition and living expenses. Of course, more and more top high school students in China also aim to enter the Ivy League.
China's "Ivy League"
In America, "Ivy League" is a household name. Whether it is Harvard University, Yale University or other members of this university alliance, it is the dream place for students with top-notch learning and outstanding specialties to study.
Now, China has also begun to try to establish its own "Ivy League". Nine "985 Project" universities, including Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Xi Jiaotong University, established a "strong alliance" and jointly signed the "Cooperation and Exchange Agreement on Talent Training in First-class Universities" to jointly cultivate top talents. According to the agreement, nine universities ("Nine Schools in Chinese" and "C9 Schools in English") will strengthen in-depth cooperation and exchanges, make use of the complementary advantages of high-quality school-running resources, and better cultivate all kinds of talents.
The most famous university in China, namely the "Nine Schools" designated by the state, is the most classic and convincing.
The so-called "Nine Universities" refers to the nine best research universities in China that entered the "985 Project" in China in the first batch with the goal and historical mission of creating "world-renowned high-level universities", namely:
Peking University, Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, China University of Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Xi Jiaotong University. Ivy League Website Ivy League China's earliest portal.
2001165438+1On October 20th, the Ivy website of Great Wall Group, which is known as the first search engine in China, was closed and the page could not be logged in. At the same time, it also decided to resell its own core technology, which was once one of the earliest and largest Chinese search engines in China.
Changtong Hua Fei Information Technology Co., Ltd., which runs an Ivy League school, was jointly funded by China Great Wall Computer Group and Beijing Telecom Hua Fei Communication Technology Development Company on 1997 10, and is one of the earliest Internet enterprises in China. The "Ivy League" Chinese search engine, developed by Hua Fei, was once one of the earliest Chinese search engines on the Internet in China, and collected more than100000 Chinese regional network addresses in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and Singapore at that time. It is reported that the main reason for the closure of "Ivy" is that it has not found a truly feasible profit point. After forming a strategic alliance with Great Wall Broadband, I didn't expect the broadband access speed to be very slow due to the adjustment of national policies and management. In addition, broadband content requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is difficult to see profit in the short term. At this time, Great Wall Group, as the main investor, lost its current market share in the main business PC. In addition, Shenzhen Science and Technology, a subsidiary of Great Wall, is mainly engaged in the most proud hard disk head business of Great Wall and has always been regarded as the most profitable business of Great Wall. In the first half of 20001year, its net profit decreased by 25.48%. Coupled with the great wall's unwillingness to invest more in the face of major internal adjustments and changes, the days of "Ivy League" can't go on. Finally, it had to shut down and resell its proud search engine technology to recover some funds.
