Rearing the science spirit of the contemporary college students , is not only the requirement of the nation and the society, but is also the requirement of the contemporary college students'self-development .In reality, as influenced by the traditional education system of the country, together with by the ideological misunderstanding points that reside in the contemporary college students on their own, a number of them generally lack the science spirit, shown by an insufficiency on seeking truth, questioning and criticizing, open-up and innovation, cherishing a job devotedly, mutual aid and cooperation and so forth, and by patternization, stylization and so on, when considering problems and handling affairs.The science spirit is one of the basic spiritual factors that the science history contains, and a science history development is always a development history of the science spirit.
