Today our institutions of advanced education face many challenges: What is the best balance between research and teaching? How can academics broaden their horizons so that theories can be put into practice? How can knowledge be a force for positive change? How can we ensure that academic involvement brings us closer to solutions, rather than causing new problems?
對照近日教育部公布國內大學「國際學術論文篇數排名」而引發的紛紛擾擾，一所大學應該如何兼顧研究與教學，並進一步挑高視野、放大格局，將理論轉化為經國濟世的良方，讓知識真正產生進步的力量，而不致治絲益棼、陷於泥淖，是一個尤為嚴肅的課題。
