【正文】 Noel winners.During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its graduates became ministers in Puritan church throughout New England, the university never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.Under President Pusey (19531971), Harvard started what was then the largest fundraising campaign in the history of American higher education. It was an million dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships, and expanded Harvard’s physical facilities.Neil L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard’s 26th president in 1001. As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the university’s school and faculties, Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard’s main intellectual priorities. He also stressed the important of the university’s excellence in undergraduate education, the significance of keeping Harvard’s doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds, the task of as aping the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage.1.

What did President Rudenstine do?Keys: Viewing and speakingScriptHost: Well, David Lammy, the University Minister, joins me from Westminster. Now thanks for joining us this lunchtime, Mr. Lammy. How do these cuts_ tie in with your much trumpeted mitment to increasing higher education?Interviewee: Well, I think it39。s important to remind viewers that we will spend well over 12 billion pounds on higher education this year and to also say that there will be more students at university next year than ever before in our history. But what is important is that when they get to university, is that they have good facilities, good buildings, that they have good contact with their lecturers and, for students from poorer backgrounds that they receive a grant. And you know 40 percent of students who are going to university are in receipt of some grants. So we have to plan. . .Host: But there39。s going to be less money next year. That39。s the bottom line, isn39。t it?Interviewee: Er, we are asking universities to make a one percent cut in their teaching grant. That39。s 51 million out of a total budget of over five billion. Look, I think there are families across the country preparing for Christmas spending a bit less and they39。re, you know, it39。s a lot more than one percent that they39。re, they39。re feeling. So I think this is reasonable to ask universities if we are to ensure that we can continue to send more young people to university and we remain mitted to that.Host: And briefly, what about these twoyear degrees? This is a reduction in standards, isn39。t it?Interviewee: Well, we, we, we. . . It39。s important in this country that we remember that students aren39。t just the classic 18 to 21yearold undergraduates. We want mature students. We want more parttime students and over the last few years we39。ve been growing the number of foundation degree, twoyear degrees that ensure that transition into high university and high level skills. That39。s what we want to support and that39。s what we39。re indicating in the grant letter that we39。ve sent to universities over the last few days.Host: OK.
