Andrew, President of Oxford University? Hamilton said:

I think there are two points at the core of university spirit. The first is the pursuit of Excellence in everything, and the second is free and open debate.

Hamilton said:

The university spirit embodied by Oxford University is as follows: firstly, there is an absolute pursuit of Excellence. No matter in teaching or scientific research, we will never be satisfied with the status quo and continue to pursue better.

On the other hand, free and open debate is an important means to achieve Excellence. Oxford is an open place, and everything can be discussed openly, whether it is academic or administrative.

The unique tutorial system of Oxford University is very helpful to cultivate the spirit of free debate.

Question 5: What does the emblem of Oxford University mean? As a symbol and a "meaningful form" (clive bell), the school emblem of western universities is mostly shield-shaped, such as Oxford University, which was formed in the12nd century (and Cambridge University, which is shield-shaped). The main part of the school emblem consists of three crowns (the upper two and the next), with an unfolded book in the middle. The inscription "DOMINUS ILLUMINATIO MEA" shows the influence of medieval religion on universities, emphasizing that "revelation" is the source of knowledge and truth, and the crown on the school emblem shows the nobility and glory of university education, which is closely related to the university concept of cultivating gentlemen in British universities. Newman, a famous British educator, holds that the purpose of a university is to cultivate or bring up a wise, philosophical and cultured gentleman. Chinese educator Zheng also concluded: "The ideal of British universities is to cultivate gentlemen, and Oxford University can be its representative."
