After the Modern industrial revolution, with the strong promotion of social development, universities were forced to go beyond the ivory tower, and to shoulder the heavy task of leading the development and progress of community. In the 19th century, founded the Berlin University created a combination of teaching and research, and became the engine of German industrialization. People began to realize the strategic position of universities in the development of the country. In the process of learning the experience of German University, U.S.expanded the function of service to the community through land-grant colleges and the start-up of "Morrill Act". The three major functions of the university——teaching, research, social services were created and perfected, Universities were gone from the margins of society into the core of society, and played an important role in the human society's progress and development.With the arrival of the era of knowledge economy and economic globalization, information waves swept across the whole society, the position of universities in the development of the country is more important, they play an irreplaceable role in personnel training, science and technology, cultural heritage. The realization of government public functions is closer tied to the University, so government strengthen the management of the university. At the same time, the rapid development of universities also strengthen their dependence on government in funds, school management, and other areas. Compared to the Universities in Western developed countries, China's colleges and universities is weak in the capacity of social services. Because the history of university development is short, and the strength of school is relatively weak. However, with the steady development of China's Higher Education, Universitise' social services work has been seriously, the content of social services is also more abundant than in the past. The form of service is no longer confined to the dissemination of knowledge, personnel training, but to combine the production and research, showing a diverse and full-service features. At the same time, there are a lot of problems in social service activities of China's Universities. The causes of these problems are diverse, such as the concept of the University and management system, the development stage of China's enterprises, but more is the macro-level issues——the fuzzy positioning and the lack of effective guidance of government in Universities' social services. As the public sector in achieving public functions, government needs to assume an important social responsibility of public universities and make appropriate management. But at this stage, there are many problems in the management of universities' social service activities thus, make a strong Obstruction to the development of universities' social services. In this paper, I want to explore the common basis of government and the universities from the inherent logic of Government's public functions and universities' social services functions. In order to promote the development of universities' social services through the full implementation of Government's responsibility.This paper is divided into six parts: the first part is study on the topics purpose, meaning, innovative research methods, and the relevant domestic and international literature.

And study on the form, status quo, and problems of Chinese Universities' social services.then, analys the causes of existing problems from the perspective of government. The fourth part is about the Government of the United States and United Kingdom on the history of Universities' social service and how to strengthen the Universities' social services.Part V is the core of this study, it is about the building and development of the systems what the Universities' social services is required for, and the specific initiatives for Chinese government to promote the development of social services.
