Chapter 48 Colleges and Institutions
"Do I need to say more? Of course I also want the Twin Cities University to be built on Zu'an. This is the first building built by the two cities for the first time. And I believe that in the future, the Twin Cities University will definitely occupy an important position in the two cities.
It is a very important location. However, out of consideration for the learning environment of future students of the college, we finally decided to let the University of the Twin Cities be built in Pittown."
"This is not a compromise, but an expression of our responsibility to our future students."
Silko was talking eloquently in front of several Piltover councilors. He stood upright, with his spine erect, like a sharp arrow ready to be fired.
What is going on now? Quarrel? Competition?
Of course this is competition, but it is healthy competition.
Now, Representatives Mel, Jess, Camille and Gila Mann are all sitting on chairs. On Zaun's side, Hilko is standing and speaking, while Fander and Sevika are both sitting on chairs.
He was sitting. Lin Wen was sitting in a wheelchair, leaning against the back of Lin Wen's wheelchair.
Professor Heimerdinger and Professor Singed, as the president and vice-president of the college, of course also participated in this meeting. Professor Mao Mao was listening carefully to Hilko's speech.
A pair of calves were kicking under the table, and it was easy to see that Professor Heimerdinger was very excited at the moment.
But it's no wonder that Professor Heimerdinger has endless energy as long as he discusses knowledge and academics.
He was born for science.
And Hilko, the former gangster, has now become an outstanding politician.
"As for Piltover University? Of course we can keep it. The expanded Piltover University will give the extra space to Zaun College. One of us will occupy the west and the other will occupy the east. The west college is Zaun College. How about that?"
"Don't you want to integrate the students from both sides?" Jace asked a question and crossed his hands on the table. Jace continued: "Young people can communicate better with each other. If you integrate young people together, it will be better."
Will it change the way we view each other?"
"You're right, Jace, but it's not necessary."
Hilko shook his head at Jess, bent down and put one hand on the table. Hilko continued: "We don't need to disrupt the teaching order in order to deliberately promote the relationship between students from the two cities.
The purpose of dividing Zaun College and Piltover College is not to distinguish Zaun and Piltover, nor to divide the camps. It is to better highlight the different academic characteristics between us."
"Pi City is good at precision instruments and has insights in business and transportation, while Zaun is good at alchemy. Our research on wine and minerals far exceeds Pi City. There are nearly twenty different courses in the two colleges, and their purpose
It is to allow each student to quickly find their favorite major, participate in it, and make progress together with "like-minded" students, and this is the meaning of our joint creation of a Twin Cities University."
Hilko's words won the approval of Ms. Gila Mann. She clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Hilko's words are really good. Although Jess's idea is also very good, he deliberately promotes the students
To communicate, it is better to let them take the initiative to communicate. For this reason, I think students in Zaun must learn a class from Piltover College, and students in Piltover must also take a class from Zaun College."
Gila Mann paused and then said: "This is not to force students to communicate with each other, but to create a place where they can actively communicate. As for whether one should concentrate on studying alone, or discuss academic issues with those around him,
That is the student’s own business.”
"Okay, I think this can be incorporated into the University of the Twin Cities."
Hilko nodded: "Learning one more craft will also help them in the future."
"But speaking of this matter, Congressman Gilaman and Congressman Philos, when do you plan to change the big family's monopoly strategy?"
"This" Gila Mann paused, and an embarrassed expression appeared on the face that looked exactly like Caitlin.
Camille raised her head, tilted her neck and squinted her eyes gracefully, pretending not to hear Hilko's words.
"cough!"
Lin Wen coughed heavily.
"Xilko, we are talking about building a school now. We will talk about other things later. We will talk about it later."
Seeing Lin Wen speak out, Hilko shook his head, and then said with a calm expression: "Of course, I just asked. However, although this is your own business in Picheng, but now we are in a
We are on the same front, and I naturally don’t hope that there will be disagreements among your own people at this juncture. I heard from Congressmen Jess and Mel that you have encountered some minor troubles with your reforms. Some people are unwilling to change this.
everything."
"Obviously it didn't directly infringe on their interests, it just gave ordinary people more room for advancement, but even so, they were scared."
Hilko's tone was calm, but there was a fierce look in his eyes: "And this is wrong, congressmen."
"Okay, Hilko, stop talking." Seeing Ms. Gila Mann's expressionless face and Camille's sarcastic smile, Lin Wen quickly interrupted Hilko again.
Lin Wen spoke for the second time, and Hilko also stopped, shrugged, and said, "That's all I've said about the Twin Cities University proposal. Now, do you guys have any thoughts?"
"After all, within ten days at most, Shuangcheng College will start recruiting students."
"Me me me!"
A voice rang out, and Heimerdinger stood on tiptoe on the stool, raising his hands high.
"Please tell me, Professor." Hilko still respected Heimerdinger.
After everyone looked at him, Heimerdinger kept tapping his hands. After hesitating for a while, Heimerdinger said aloud: "It's about tuition fees. I hope, I hope the tuition fees can be lower."
.”
Seeing everyone stunned, Heimerdinger quickly explained: "After seeing the environment in Zaun, I understood a truth. Geniuses are born in various places, and the former University of Piltover must be because of its high
The high tuition fees have cut off the paths of many students.”
"I don't want something like this to happen again. Therefore, I hope we only charge some textbook fees and fees for teachers. Moreover, as a principal, my salary must be good, right? I can do it without salary.
My salary should be used by the students."
"Professor" Jace stopped Heimerdinger.
"What's wrong? Jace?"
"Didn't anyone tell you that Twin Cities University doesn't charge tuition?"
"!"
Seeing that Heimerdinger's beard was blowing, Jess slapped his face, pointed at Lin Wen who was sitting opposite him, and said loudly: "Professor, Lin Wen and I are the funders of Twin Cities University, and Lin Wen and I will agree unconditionally."
We will donate money to Twin Cities University, and in the future, talents from Twin Cities University will not need to work under Lin Wen and I. They can choose their own families and the jobs they want."
Heimerdinger was very happy after hearing what Jace said, "Really? Is this really true, Lin Wen?"
"Of course, Professor." Lin Wen nodded and said with a smile: "Jess and I have inexhaustible wealth, and neither he nor I are greedy for enjoyment, so we are willing to use the money to build two cities.
."
"This is wonderful!"
"But there are still thresholds for professors. With the best teachers, the best equipment and experimental teaching materials, of course not everyone can get in." Jess continued seriously: "Twin Cities University will adopt examination selection.
Only those who have passed the exam can enter the academy, but if you are illiterate but have good skills, you can also enter the academy without exception."
"Of course there's no problem with that. We don't want to recruit idiots who come in to hang out."
Heimerdinger, the president of the University of the Twin Cities, blew his beard and asked: "When will we start school?"
"As I just said, professor, it will be in ten days."
"Ten days from now?"
"I think school starts tomorrow!"
"That's not possible, professor." Lin Wen answered: "Zu'an College is moving things up. Those precious alchemy equipment and textbooks cannot be moved up in a day."
"All right"
Seeing the excited Heimerdinger, everyone present became happy.
Although he is already hundreds of years old, Professor Heimerdinger already looks like a child.
But maybe it's because of this that he is respected.
