約2點睡,近10點起,昨與徐錚多談。
羅斯福路兩邊的路樹木棉花 (找出的,想不出),要數大才美。(昨天,過去多年,都未見ntu的樟樹開花,怎一回事?)
中午朝日日本料理海鮮Ron.....把印章弄錯了
Eric 25年前就是NHK的明星,他說多年來沒什麼成就。

李亮欽老師是博士嗎?

徐錚兄4月7日晚---台灣時間---給我的信之一部分:主張遴選的公開程度應該受限,保護隱私,防止新校長受制於既有的制度的壓迫 (這是一種解釋):

For lack of time, Hanching, I have to write in English. Sorry.

Given the way things are moving (the fight with Tang/struggle for Tunghai), I don't see the significance of my letter to Minister Wu, and hence I don't see what purpose it can serve by releasing this letter. More to the point, I cannot and will not play any role in the upcoming 校長遴選.


We can talk more, but for now, allow me to simply share these quick thoughts with you:


1. Selection of new president: I'm pessimistic about the whole thing. First, people pin way too much hope on the (new) president, regardless who this person may be. Given the current system (the Board, the faculty, and the administration) no president can deliver salvation to Tunghai as it needs now.

Second, I doubt that any good prospect would apply, given the current situations surrounding Tunghai (including the Board, the faculty, and the alumni). 

Third, 校長遴選制度「教授治校」:教授、行政人員、校友、社會公正人士、教育部代表等,with open process and public presentation... is not the right way. It can only preserve the status-quo, which is not what Tunghai needs at this point. By the same token, the faculty association is not the best source for ideas of reform - they can only preserve and promote their own best interest. This is what I'm familiar with and agree to: 一向以 自由市場導向的美國大學,在面臨校長出缺時,先由董事會組織「校長遴選委員會」,成員組成除了董事與教授,校友、行政人員、社區人士甚至學生代表皆可參 與。校長遴選委員會從候選人中挑選三至五名進入候選名單,送請董事會投票並任命。遴選過程通常為黑箱作業,(required to protect the privacy of the candidates) 或僅於決選時公佈候選人名單,但是委員會積極把 關與自動向外尋求合適人選,與臺灣由欲參選者自行報名之方式極為不同。
郭:
曾董事長曾公開講過,依法規,遴選不能公開。不公開除了法令層面,當然也涉及其他更多的問題。小弟目前不敢有什麼高見,只是此次遴選,非比尋常,必須「充分考量東海現存壯況,切合東海面臨存亡必須」,因此,恐怕要有比較非常的作為。至於制度可能對校長的牽制,向來都只有董事會,要求更公開化的群眾,一直都是被統治者吧!


Kawase先生歸國,來信。到他的blog去一趟,知道這本新書。

名校院的歷史,我都愛翻翻。前一陣子,吳鳴兄贈"政治大學校1987-1996 (2007),覺得寫法有點東海人的味道,謝謝。近日得(我剛好翻讀:The Pragmatic Imagination: A History of the Wharton School 1881-1981 (University of Pennsylvania Press, 1982),也很有意思,因為我2010年特別出版"系統與變異--理想系統設計法",向Russell Ackoff 致謝。今天知道芝加哥大學有新校史,也很高興:http://hceducation.blogspot.tw/…/hutchins-university-memoir…
The University of Chicago: A History; Hutchins' University: A Memoir of the University of Chicago, 1929-1950 哈欽斯的大學

16小時前 徐錚給我的信中一段:
My friend, we have done our share to pay back Tunghai and live up to our youthful aspiration for what Tunghai gave us. We were lucky. We are one of the few who were given a relatively rare chance to have the original Tunghai as a part of our precious formation years of life. We shall never lose it. This is enough. We are the living proof of the value of the original Tunghai. We are doing well, this way. Let's continue to live well and do well for life. This is our salutation to Tunghai, as we know it, too.

徐兄,看到您這封信,更好地解釋您2年前說的,東海的任務已完成,如同練馬可說的,他的作品在學生中....。很感動。因為地處台灣,我倆的任務說不定稍微有些不同。
不過,主調是一樣的,我們要精神地活下去,去成就mission....http://tunghaifriends.blogspot.tw/2015/04/blog-post_6.html



李亮欽老師一家,大力影響了沈金標兄和嚴匡漢兄 (1971~72東海7棟我室友),真正令人感動的導航之旅。http://tunghaifriends.blogspot.tw/2015/04/bill-lee.html



25年前,Eric就是台灣建築明星,NHK節目當然不會放過。
他現在說,多年來沒什麼成就。那時,我們公司 (杜邦)新辦公室請其公司裝璜設計;公司全體員工都一台Apple 電腦.....
