contribution

Universities should contribute a kind of values and knowledge system to the society, which can be realized by cultivating the behavior of generations of students after entering the society.

Flexner, an American higher education reformer in the 20th century, said: "Universities can't stay away from society, but more importantly, universities are not weather vanes and can't cater to what is popular. Universities should always meet the needs of society, not its desires. "
