University is a kind of social institution which burdens some social functions. University function is not only the basic theory problem of the university, but also the starting point. With the born of university, university function has been put forward. In the later several hundred years, university has been the place which functions developing talents and spreading knowledge. After the first science revolution, university has burdened the task of doing the research and the university began to burn the function of the scientific creation. And then the function of university's science research has been broadened. After the Second World War, the university has been trusted to meet the need of national strategy, so, the social service function has come into the university. Under the setting of economic society into the information age, there is no doubt that the cultural heritage creation has become an important power for the society development. The process of cultural heritage creation includes continuous perfect of character, the continuous pursuit of human's truth, good, and beauty, and the promoting human's freedom and all aspects harmonious development. So university cultural heritage function has been established formally. University function is the intensively reflection of university and social relationship. In the university which is consisted of different parties, the talents development, science research social service and cultural heritage creation are all the function traits of all the universities.Compared with the western developed countries, China has a little weak power of running university. With the quick development of our national high education, the university functions are not only spreading knowledge, developing talents, but also combining with production, study, research properly from the need of social economic development. University has a variety of characters. At present, our universities are facing the huge innovation with the society's change, and there is a complete change in and out the university. Thus this has caused many problems with the university system. The nature of these problems is that universities haven't fulfilled with their responsibilities and they vibrated, covered and weakened their functions. The solution to the problem needs to know the relationship among the separate functions of the university. The role of university function system is a unified process of developing talents centered. The four functions of the university are not equal and not relatively independent. From the logic starting and historic starting of university development, they consist of a whole entity which is around the talents development, and interact and integrate with each other. In a final analysis, they should serve the university and meet certain needs of social development to cultivate talents.University is called university, for its main function is to cultivate talents. Science research, social service and the cultural heritage creation are the detailed and spreading of the key function. These functions exist for the full realization of the key function. The functions of modern universities have the comprehensive characters. They regard developing talents as the purpose. In the practice, universities develop talents by science development social service and the cultural heritage creation and knowledge conveying. So, this article is around the relationship among the university's functions and explores history changing and inner logic around the basic theory, realizing analysis and reestablishing of holistic functions. Clearing the relationship of university's functions promotes the effective role of university's holistic functions.There are six parts in the dissertation. The first part is about the purposes, meanings, research methods and the possible creative points of the dissertation as well as about combing out the relative documents in and out. The second part analyzes some basic concepts involved with this reseach and focuses on the differences and conections as well as illustrates the theoretical foundations, namely, structuralism theories, functionalism theories, Structural functionalism.The third part explores the history of unversity functions'development.According to the natural order of the university's historical development,we can see that the orientations of the university functions all have their different characteristics in the different periods.At the same time,this part combs out the logic relationship of the university functions in order to make clear the university functions'different statuses and roles,namely, body function is decisive, derivative functions serve the body function, body function and derivative functions are the unity of the organism.The fourth part faces the realistic situation that the university functions separate overally and analyzes the two aspects from the unbalance of university functions system and the reasons for the overall seperation of the university functions in order to make clear the harm that the overall seperation of the university functions are likely to bring about. The fifth part illustrates the value of rebuilding university functions entirety and put forwards the strategies of rebuilding university functions entirety.The six part draws the research conclusion and reflects the confusings and inadequations in the research.
