清华校长发言稿 清华校长发言稿篇一：清华大学开学典礼校长发言稿 亲爱的同学们： 今天，你们带着激动与期待、怀着憧憬与梦想走进了清华园。首先，我要代表全校师生员工，向你们表示衷心的祝贺和热烈的欢迎!并借此机会，向培育你们的老师和家长，致以亲切的问候和诚挚的感谢! 同学们，你们的大学生活即将开始，你们将从此在清华园开启一段人生最美好的时光。此时此刻，我不禁想起我们的老学长曹禺先生晚年回忆大学岁月时，曾饱含深情地写到：“我感谢水木清华，这美妙无比的大花园里的花花草草，我走出图书馆，才觉出春风、杨柳、浅溪、白石，水波上浮荡的黄嘴雏鸭，感到青春自由的气息迎面而来。”我也想起，我们1920级学长、著名经济学家陈岱孙先生在弥留之际对护士不停地说：“这里是清华大学。”那时先生还想到什么，我们不得而知，但可以相信，工作和生活了25年的清华，一定是他最牵挂的地方。 同学们，今天你们踏着先辈的足迹走进清华园，也许你们在卧谈时会分享漫步主干道的惬意，谈论参观图书馆、实验室的兴奋;也许你们会被荷塘的一汪秋水所吸引，被自习教室的一片宁静所感染。的确，清华是最美的，但清华的美不仅在于她融古典和现代、汇东方与西方的建筑，也不在于校园的千多种树木和数不清的花草，而在于她始终拥有一批传播知识、启蒙思想、激励精神、探索未知的大师和学者。正是有他们的启迪和引领，清华才薪火相传、生生不息，造就了一代代学术大师、兴业英才和治国栋梁。正如清华老校友、国学大师季羡林先生在清华颂中深情地写道：“清华园，永远占据着我的心灵。回忆起清华园，就像回忆我的母亲。” 同学们，大学不在于大，而在于学，学生为本，学者为先，学术为基，学风为要。你们是清华的“本”，你们是清华园的新主人，清华的精神要靠你们来传承和弘扬，清华的未来要靠你们去书写和创造。将来，你们当中注定很多人会走到舞台中央、时代前列。但现在，你们需要思考的一个问题是：如何才能让自己的大学生活过得更有意义? 在这里，我想和大家分享三点感想。 一是学会“做人”，做诚信的人，做实干的人，做有责任感的人。大学不仅是传授知识和技能的场所，更是培养人的思想、情感、意志、品质之所在，是铸造灵魂的地方。朱镕基学长曾经满怀深情地回忆当年在校时，电机系主任章名涛先生的一席话：“你们来到清华，既要学会怎样为学，更要学会怎样为人。青年人首先要学为人，然后才是学为学”。正所谓“为学先为人”，你们进入清华，首要的是学会做人。清华倡导“严谨为学、诚信为人”，诚信、严谨，不光是做学问的基本要求，更是做人的一种修为。希望同学们记住，诚信乃立身之本、立业之基。大家更要记住，百年清华始终与祖国和民族命运相联、荣辱与共，进入清华人的行列就肩负起了国家和社会的责任。为此，同学们要恪守行胜于言的校风，发扬清华人的实干精神，用脚踏实地的努力学好科学文化知识，在实践中掌握分析问题、解决问题的本领，将来像前辈清华人一样，以自己的所学所长回报社会，推动国家富强、民族复兴和人类进步。 二是学会“独立”，能够独立生活，善于独立思考，养成独立人格。青年时代是最具有创造活力的阶段。大学的重要任务就是激发学生的好奇心、想象力，培养学生的批判性思维。这些都是事业成功不可或缺的素质。在这里，我想给大家讲一个故事。小时候，大家都会对五颜六色的肥皂泡充满好奇，你们也会遗憾地发现这些泡泡只能维持几秒钟。但你们的师兄、航天航空学院的杨锦同学，上学期参加本科生研究训练时，用微纳米颗粒做出了一种“永久的泡泡”，到现在，这个“泡泡”已经维持了几个月，它很可能成为世界上存在时间最长的“泡泡”。这个看似充满童趣的发现，却可能对精密仪器制造等领域产生重要影响。这样的故事，在清华无处不在。正是出于好奇心和想象力，清华有很多同学在学习期间都会加入各种科技兴趣团队和学生社团，并由此找到了自己的兴趣和未来的发展方向。今天我想告诉你们的是，这些同学之所以具有好奇心和想象力，是因为他们不局限于传统和常规的思维范式，而他们的批判性思维首先来自于他们的独立性。陈寅恪先生讲“独立之精神、自由之思想”，倡导的就是独立思考、独立人格。我写信希望同学们独自来学校报到，就是希望大家从独立生活开始，进而学会独立思考、培养独立人格。独立生活是一种自主、自立的生活态度，让大家能够独自面对和处理生活学习中的困难和选择。独立思考是一种实事求是的思想方法，让大家遇事不跟风、不盲从、不随波逐流。独立人格是一种不依附他人和权威，具有自我人性与追求的精神品格。只有学会了独立思考、具备了独立人格，才能帮助你们激发好奇心、启迪想象力、建立批判性思维，才能促使你们真正走向成熟，也才意味着你们可以对自己负责、对家庭负责、对社会负责。清华校长发言稿篇二：哈佛大学校长在清华大学稿 哈佛大学校长在清华大学演讲稿（中英全文）-大学与气候变化带来的挑战 2015年3月20日 07:05 新浪博客 Party Secretary Chen Xu, Assistant President Shi Yigong,distinguished faculty, students and friends. Itis a privilege to be back at Tsinghua, with an opportunity toexchange ideas on the most pressing challenges of ourtime. One challenge that will shape this centurymore than any other is our changing climate, and the effort tosecure a sustainable and habitable worldas rising sea levelsthreaten coastlines, increasing drought alters ecosystems andglobal carbon emissions continue to rise. There is a proverb that the best time to plant a tree is 20years agoand the second best time is now. When Ifirst visited Tsinghua seven years ago, I planted a tree withPresident Gu in the Friendship Garden. Today, Iam glad to return to this beautiful campus, founded on the site ofone of Beijings historic gardens. I am glad theTsinghua-Harvard tree stands as a symbol of the many relationshipsacross our two universities, which continue to grow andthrive. More than ever, it is a testament to thepossibilities that, by working together, we offer theworld. That is why I want to spend a few minutestoday talking about the special role universities like ours play inaddressing climate change. Last November here in Beijing, President Xi and President Obamamade a joint announcement on climate change, pledging to limit thegreenhouse gas emissions of China and the United States over thenext two decades. It is a landmark accord,setting ambitious goals for the worlds two largest carbon emittingcountries and establishing a marker that Presidents Xi and Obamahope will inspire other countries to do the same. We could not have predicted such a shared commitment seven, or evenone year ago, between these two leadersboth, in fact, ouralumnione a Tsinghua graduate in chemical engineering and thehumanities and the other a graduate of Harvard LawSchool. And yet our two institutions had alreadysown its seeds decades agoby educating leaders who can turn monthsof discussion into an international milestone, and by collaboratingfor more than 20 years on the climate analyses that made itpossible. In other words, by doing the thingsuniversities are uniquely designed todo. The U.S.-China joint announcement on climate change represents adefining moment between our two countries and for the world, amoment worthy of celebration. China deservesgreat credit for all it has done and is doing to address a complexset of economic and environmental issues. While lifting 600 millionpeople out of poverty, you have built the worlds largest capacityin wind power and second largest in solar power. As one Harvard climate expert put it, Chinas “investments todecarbonize its energy system have dwarfed those of any othernation.” And last year, Chinas emission indeeddid drop two percent. Yet, even as we make real progress, the scale and complexity ofclimate change require humility and long-termthinking. We have made abeginning. But it is only a beginning. The recentvideo Under theDome reminds us how much work is left to bedone. The commitments of governments can becarried out only if every sector of societycontributes. Industry, education, agriculture,business, finance, individual citizensall are necessaryparticipants in what must become an energy and environmentalrevolution, a new paradigm that will improve public health, carefor the planet, and put both of our nations on the path toward aprosperous, low-carbon economy. No one understands this better than the students and faculty ofTsinghua, where these subjects are research priorities and youroutgoing president Chen Jining, a graduate of Tsinghuas departmentof environmental science and engineering, has just been appointedMinister of Environmental Protection. He has beencalled a bridge-builder, a man of vision and fresh ideas, and aninspiring leader. The promise of the 2014 joint climate pledge will require thosequalities of all of us. It will call on each ofus to do our part to transform the energy systems on which we relyand mitigate the harm they cause, to “Think Different,” as ApplesSteve Jobs used to sayto imagine new ways of seeing old problemsand, as he put it, to “honor the people who ? can change the worldfor the better.” Universities are especially goodat “thinking different.” That is the point I wantto emphasize today. To every generation falls a dauntingtask. This is our task: to “think different”about how we inhabit the Earth. Where better tomeet this challenge than in Boston and Beijing? How better to meet it than by unlocking and harnessing newknowledge, building political and cultural understanding, promotingdialogue and sharing solutions? Who better tomeet it than you, the most extraordinary students, imaginative,curious, daring. The challenge we face demandsthree great necessities. The first necessity is partnership. Globalproblems require global partners. Climate change is a perfectexample. We breathe the sameair. We drink the same water. We share the planet. We cannot live in acocoon. The stakes are toohigh. In an essay widely reprinted in Chinese middle school textbookscalled “The Geese Return,” naturalist Aldo Leopold describes aneducated woman, an outstanding college student, who, and I quote,“?had never heard or seen the geese that twice a year fly aboveher well-insulated roof.”Could this womansvaunted “education,” he asks, be no more than, in his words,“trading awareness for things of lesser worth?”adding that thegoose who “trades his awareness is soon a pile offeathers.” We all risk becoming a proverbial“pile of feathers” unless we cultivate awareness of each other andour common environmental crisis, and then work together to solveit. We have seen the power of partnerships. Formore than a century, Harvard and China in particular havebenefitted from partnerships with histories that inspire us: John King Fairbank in 1933, who caught the silver and blue busto Tsinghua before dawn to teach his first students theperspectives of Chinese scholarship he had absorbed from ProfessorJiang Tingfu, one of Chinas most eminent historians and the Chairof Tsinghuas History Department. Thoseexperiences changed Fairbanks life. And theychanged Harvard, where the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studiestransformed the field, and where the study of East Asia nowencompasses more than 370 courses from history and literature togovernment and plant biology. Ernest Hey Wilson in 1908, who navigated the Yangtze Riverwith a team of Chinese plant collectors, documenting cultures withphotographs and collecting thousands of plant specimens forHarvards Arnold Arboretum. Wilsons long-term collaborationthesubject of a forthcoming CCTV special (and exhibit at the HarvardCenter Shanghai)established one of our deepest connections,celebrating the extraordinary beauty and diversity of Chinasnatural world. Zhu Kezhen in 1918, who received his Ph.D. from Harvard afterpassing a scholarship exam at the school that would becomeTsinghua. He became the father of Chinesemeteorology, pioneering 5,000 years of Chinese climate data, and asa university president and Vice President of the Chinese Academy ofSciences, shaped Chinese education by “cultivating scientists,” ashe put it, and I quote, in “the scientific spirit ? the pursuitfor the truth.” That spirit defines the Harvard China Project, founded in 1993as an interdisciplinary program to study Chinas atmosphericenvironment, energy system and economy, and the role of environmentin U.S.-China relations. Based at HarvardsSchool of Engineering and Applied Sciences, its collaborators havespanned more than half of Harvards Schools and more than a dozenChinese institutions, including some seven different departments atTsinghua. When the program began, before climatechange made daily headlines, even its foundersProfessor MichaelMcElroy and project director Chris Nielsen, soon joined by Tsinghuaprofessor collaboratorscould not fully imagine itsimpact. It has been a model partnership and anengine of broad environmental knowledge that has influenced policyin both countries, and improved the lives of our citizens. Let me give you one example: the case of two young women at thestart of their professional training, Cao Jing studying economicsand public policy at Harvards Kennedy School and Wang Yuxuan, aTsinghua graduate getting her Harvard Ph.D. in atmosphericchemistry. Both are nowTsinghua faculty members. Driven by common questions, they came together asmembers of a team studying Chinese carbon emissions. Over severalyears they worked across disciplines, in both countries, withenvironmental engineers and health scientists to assess costs andbenefits of emission control policy options and their effect onhuman health. The teams findings weregroundbreaking, demonstrating for policy makers that they could infact achieve enormous environmental benefits at little cost toeconomic growth. Such collaborations with Tsinghua continue toshape Chinas clean energy future with new ideas, from linking windfarms with electrified space heating to evaluatingthe effects of a changing climate on renewableenergy sources. Our collaborations in the field of design are powerful as well,shaping the responses to urbanization and environmental change inboth countries. What might an ecologicallyconceived city look like? How can a village growinto one? Harvards new Center for GreenBuildings and Cities is working with Tsinghuas Evergrande ResearchInstitute to measure energy use for different building types inChina, a key to creating more efficient buildings andcities. A new collaboration with PekingUniversity advances more socially and ecologically inclusive urbandesign. Partnerships like these, betweenHarvards Graduate School of Design and Chinese institutions, aregenerating innovations in urban planning, green building andsustainable development that will change how welive. For example, walk along the reed-linedriverbank park in Shanghai, as I have, where a constructed wetlandcleans polluted water from the Huangpu River and a promenade nowconnects the old city with the new. Its designer,Yu Kongjian, a farmers son trained at Harvards School of Designand founded Chinas first graduate school of landscapearchitecture, a field he describes as, and I quote, “a tool forsocial justice and environmental stewardship.” Today, Harvard partnerships with Tsinghua and other Chineseinstitutions span nearly every department across all of Harvards13 Schools, involving some 200 faculty members and hundreds ofstudents, and now including the Harvard Center Shanghai, onlinecourses through EdX, and three new research centers oncampus. These partnerships are bearing fruit:from last years Harvard-Tsinghua conference on market mechanismsfor a low-carbon future, to open access education reaching millionsworldwide, to advances in human health and health-care policy thatwill improve and extend lives. Tsinghua is building upon a similar array of partnerships, inChina and around the world. Your new Collaborative InnovationCenter on Urbanization convenes every field around the problem ofintegrating urban and rural areas, and the Tsinghua-BerkeleyShenzhen Institute supports among other things the search for newand low-carbon energy technologies. I have said before that there is no one model for a universityssuccess, no abstract “global research university” to which we allshould aspire. Partnership benefits fromdifferent contributions and varied perspectives. Our variety supports our strength. United, thereis little we cannot accomplish. The second necessity is research. A Chineseaphorism tells us that, “Learning has noboundaries.” Through research, universitiestranscend the boundaries of what anyone thought was possible. Research without boundaries means exploring acrossdisciplines. Consider the goal of creatingsustainable cities. This is not just anengineering problem. It is a problem of ethicsand design; law and policy; business and economics; medicine andpublic health; religion and anthropology and my own field ofhistory, which can tell us how humans and nature have interactedover time. For example, think of the new fieldof “ecological urbanism” that explores this goalas a design problem for how best to live. OrHarvards Center for the Environment that brings together 250faculty members from every discipline. Research without boundaries means taking an open stance, whereevery question is legitimate and any path might yield ananswer. Knowledge emerges from debate, fromdisagreement, from questions, from doubtfrom recognizing thatevery path must be open because any path might yield ananswer. Universities must be places where any andevery topic can be broached, where any and every question can beasked. Universities must nurture such debatebecause discovery comes from the intellectual freedom to explorethat rests at the heart of how we define our fundamental identityand values. You might find a treatment for malaria in a 2000-year-old silkscroll from a Han dynasty tomb, as Chinese researchers discoveredin the 1970s. Or follow your sense of smell, asCaltech chemist Arie Haagen-Smit did in the 1950s, to discover thata container of car exhaust exposed to sunlight produces thebleach-like odor of smog. Almost everyone toldHaagen-Smit he was wrong, but he identified oxidized hydrocarbonsfrom automobiles, refineries and power plants as the source of themysterious air pollution that was choking Los Angeles, and launcheda revolution in American air quality. Some fortyyears later, showing the same ingenuity, Harvards own study of sixcities conclusively linked fine particle pollutionto premature death. Theresearchers invented fieldinstruments as they went alongdesigning airmonitors for people to wear at school and work and air qualitysensors for their homeslaying a foundation for air pollutionlegislation that has saved billions of dollars and hundreds ofthousands of lives a year.清华校长发言稿篇三：清华大学校长顾秉林在毕业典礼上的讲话 清华大学校长顾秉林在毕业典礼上的讲话 清华大学校长 顾秉林 同学们： 毕业的钟声已经响起，你们即将告别大学本科生活，走入新的学习或工作岗位。在此，我首先代表学校，对同学们顺利完成学业，表示热烈的祝贺！向多年来为
