Study On The University Spirit Of The Northwest Associated University

The university is a place for imparting advanced knowledge.The mission of modern universities is to bear the trust of society and to fulfill the mission entrusted by history,which require adherence to their own university spirit.University spirit is not only the pillar of university's existence but also the soul that gives university life.It becomes the spiritual home for generations of students,then fundamentally guides the progress of society for its nourishment of person's ideals and personality and gestation of person's spirit and wisdom.The university spirit has injected vigor and vitality into the university,making the university a battleground between thought and wisdom.This article interprets the spirit of the university through the method of literature review,the survey method of related original journals,historical materials and second-hand literature,and the method of induction and summarization.It is analyzed that the spirit of the university should be constituted from three levels: the spirit of humanism,the spirit of science and the spirit of nationality.The National Northwest Associated University(hereinafter referred to as Northwest Associated University)was founded in the early period of the Anti-Japanese War.Although the university only existed for a short period of one year and three months,its branch persisted in the northwest area of China to the final victory of the Anti-Japanese War,which has left a permanent prelude for the higher education of northwest area.The Northwest Associated University has become the backbone of education in northwest China for its rewriting the phenomenon of lack of education in northwest China.Therefore,the interpretation of the spirit of this university is of typical significance.First of all,National spirit is the core and skeleton of a university spirit.The Northwest Associated University,founded in the bonfire,regards the national spirit as a spiritual pillar for the survival and development of a country.It implemented military management and strict military training to cooperate with the Anti-Japanese War through organizing the anti-Japanese army and rescue team.Simultaneously,the university organized all the students to work behind the enemy war,such as the work of “compiling the anti-Japanese War materials” and delivering a speech to inspire the soldiers.In term of the spirit of science,the Northwest Associated University is a realistic,progressive,scientific education university that cultivates a group of scientists with scientific spirit,which created rich scientific research results for the Northwest China and even the world.the humanistic spirit of the Northwest Associated University began with t"the spiritual civilization" the humanities culture and the all-round development of "physical exercise should be rude and rough ',The Northwest Associated University experienced a great difficulties in the course of operation.During the migration process,the teaching staff has grown and the subjects of humanities curriculum has evolved from liberal arts,science,law,business,education,and housekeeping,while the Northwest Associated University gradually cultivated students sound “personality” based on a rigorous research style of study and various kinds of cultural and sports activities.It is generally believed that the core of the university spirit is advocating academic freedom and the supremacy of truth,which runs through the entire history of the development of Western university.In view of this,the “compatibility,academic independence,and freedom of thought” advocated by Mr.Cai Yuanpei,and the “the will of freedom and the spirit of independence” proposed by Mr.Chen Yinke were regarded as representatives of the spirit of Chinese universities in the 20 th century.It is precisely because the Southwest Associated University's impression of people is profound,which is a truly independent university body that is constantly pursuing the freedom.However,from this point of view to understand the Northwest Associated University,the conclusion that it lacks University spirit will be drawn.As the brother university of the Southwest Associated University,although the Northwestern Associated University is not so outstanding in academic freedom,the spirit of the times and the humanistic spirit contained in it has provided a unique interpretation of the Chinese university spirit.Therefore,the paper that is divided into six parts describes the Northwest Associated University from the view of the university spirit,which aims to solve the current university's understanding and inheritance of the university spirit.The first part is the introduction,which mainly expounds the significance of the topic,the current situation of the research,and a brief overview of the current research results.The second part introduces the development process and environment of the Northwest Associated University,in order to sort out the relations and contributions of the Northwest Associated University and the institutions of higher education in the northwest China today,so that people can better understand this splendid educational institution.This part mainly analyzes the unique university spirit of the Northwest Associated University from the perspective of the humanities spirit,scientific spirit and national spirit.In the third part is the national spirit of the Northwest Associated University.It is a national spirit that integrates into the bone and marrow,which embodied the expectations for the nation and the victory of the war in the song and motto of the Northwest Associated University.The fourth part mainly sorts out the scientific spirit contained in the Northwest Associated University from the academic dynamics,academic exchanges and field visits of the Northwest Associated University: that is a scientific attitude of seeking truth and pursuing progress.The fifth part is Northwestern Associated University's history of running the school mainly reflected the humanistic spirit of the Northwest Associated University from the aspects of migration,staff,and humanistic curriculum setting.The continuous wander from place to place of the Northwest Associated University in the warfare failed to extinguish the spirit of person,instead creating an independent personality and a strong will for person in this arduous environment.The sixth part is a summary of the university spirit of the Northwest Associated University.The practical significance of the Northwest Associated University is to promote local cultural progress in Hanzhong,the development of disciplines,and the process of the war,which has brought tremendous contributions to the victory of war.There are three implications for today's society can be drawn through the interpretation of the university spirit of Northwest Associated University: The university should pay attention to strengthening to serve the society;The university need to attach importance to talents and strengthen the spirit of scientific truth-seeking;The university ought to make the customs more elegant and emphasize the cultivation of personality.
