论中国古代书院与现代大学精神

书院制度在我国文化发展史上具有非常重要的地位，它在近代中国社会转型时被废常令人扼腕叹息。不少新儒家学者认为书院制度可以弥补西方大学制度诸多不足，为此将在21世纪中国大学制度建设中扮演重要角色。经过仔细比较与分析考察后发现，虽然书院制度出现了现代大学制度的某些特质，但并未真正具备现代大学精神。因此，对于书院作用尚需采取更客观公正的立场，从而不至于走上矫枉过正的老路。

On the Chinese Ancient Academy and the Spirit of Modern niversity

Chinese ancient academy had a very high place in Chinese history of cultural development, it is a pity the system has been abolished in the modern transformation of Chinese society. Many new Confucius think it can make up the gap between the Western university system and the modern university system, so it will play a very important role in Chinese university system construction in the 21st century. By careful investigation, it is found, although the academy system has appeared some features of modern university system, it does not have the spirit of modern university system. So, a more objective and righteous position is needed in the appraise of the ancient academy in order to be free of hypercorrectness.
