The Aim of a University
Education
大学教育的目的
By John Henry Newman
约翰·亨利·纽曼
If then a practical end must
be assigned to a University
course, I say it is that
of training good
members of society. Its art is
the art of social life,
and its end is fitness
for the world. It neither
confines its views to particular
professions on the one hand,
nor creates heroes or inspires
genius
on the other. Works, indeed, of
genius fall under no art;
heroic minds come under no
rule.
大学教育的目的大学教育的目的大学教育的目的
如果一定要赋予大学教育一个切实的
目的，
我的主张是培养社会的好公民。
大学教育的艺术就是社会生活的艺术，
其目的就是使
人适应这个世界。
大学教育一方面既不应把着眼点局限于某些特定的职业上，
另一方面也
不应是造就英雄，培养天才。事实上，天才伟业无法人为造就，英雄的思想亦如天马行空。
A
University
is
not
a
birthplace
of
poets
or
of
immortal
authors,
of
founders
of
schools,
leaders
of
colonies,
or
conquerors
of
nations.
It
does
not
promise
a
generation
of
Aristotles
or
Newtons,
of
Napoleons
or
Washingtons,
of
Raphaels
or
Shakespeares,
though
such
miracles
of
nature it has before now
contained within its precincts.
Nor is it content on the
other hand with
forming the critic or the
experimentalist, the economist or
the engineer, though such too
it includes
within its scope.
大学不是诗人、
不朽作家和学派创立者的诞生地，
也不是殖民地头领或外族征服者的培
训所。大学并不承诺要造就一批亚里士多德、牛顿、拿破仓、华盛顿、拉斐尔、莎士比亚式
的巨人，尽管这些大自然的杰作此前曾在大学的院墙中出现过。
此外，大学也不应满足于
培养批评家、
实验人员、
经济学家和工程师，
尽管这些人才的培养也在大学教育的范畴之内。
But a University training is the
great but ordinary means to
a great but ordinary end;
it aims
at raising the intellectual tone
of society, at cultivating the
public mind, at purifying the
national
taste, at supplying true principles
to popular enthusiasm and fixed
aims to popular aspiration, at
giving
enlargement
and
sobriety
to
the
ideas
of
the
age,
at
facilitating
the
exercise
of
political
power, and refining the intercourse
of private life.
大学教育是一条通向伟大而平凡的目标的伟大而平凡的途径。
大学教育旨在提高社会的
知识氛围，
培养国民的公心，净化国民的情趣，为浮躁的公众提供真正的公理，为公众的理
想提供确定的目标，
扩大时代的思想库并注入冷静的思考，
促进政治权力的行使，
提高人际
交流的质量。
It
is
the
education
that
gives
a
man
a
clear,
conscious
view
of
his
won
opinions
and
judgments,
a
truth
in
developing
them,
an
eloquence
in
expressing
them,
and
a
force
in
urging
them.
It teaches him to see things
as they are, to go right
to the point, to disentangle
a skein of
thought, to detect what is
sophistical, and to discard what
is irrelevant. It prepares him
to fill any
post
with
credit,
and
to
master
any
subject
with
facility.
It
shows
him
how
to
accommodate
himself to others, how to throw
himself into their state of
mind, how to bring before
them his own,
how to influence them, how to
come to an understanding with
them, how to bear with
them.
大学教育应让人清醒地认知自己的观点和判断，并正确地发挥，雄辩地阐述，有力地
强调。
大学教育应教会人们看清事物的真实面目并直接抓住要害，教会人们解开思想的缰
结，发现其中的诡辩之处，舍弃其中的不相关之处。大学教育使人做好准备，可靠地胜任任
何职位，轻松自如地掌握任何科目。
