Before the 1850s, the United States had a number of smallcolleges, most of them dating from colonial days. They were small,church connected institutions whose primary concern was to shape the moralcharacter of their students.
ThroughoutEurope, institutions of higher learning had developed, bearing the ancient nameof university. In Germany a different kind of university had developed.The German university was concerned primarily with creating and spreading knowledge, not morals. Between midcentury and the endof the 1800s, more than nine thousand young Americans, dissatisfied withtheir training at home, went to Germany for advanced study. Some ofthem returned to become presidents of venerable colleges -- Harvard, Yale,Columbia -- and transform them into modern universities. The newpresidents broke all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind offaculty. Professors were hired for their knowledge of a subject, not becausethey were of the proper faith and had a strong arm fordisciplining students. The new principle was that auniversity was to create knowledge as well as pass it on, and this called for a faculty composed of teacher-scholars. Drilling and learning by rote were replaced by the German method of lecturing, in which the professors ownresearch was presented in class. Graduate training leading to the Ph.D., an ancient German degree signifying the highest level of advanced scholarly attainment, wasintroduced. With the establishment of the seminar system, graduatestudents learned to question, analyze, and conduct their own research.
At the sametime, the new university greatly expanded in size and course offerings,breaking completely out of the old, constricted curriculum of mathematics,classics, rhetoric, and music. The president of Harvard pioneeredthe elective system, by which students were able to choose their owncourses of study. The notion of major fields of study emerged. The new
goal was to make the university relevant to the real pursuits of the world.Paying close heed to the practical needs of society, the new universities trained men and women to work at its tasks, withengineering students being the most characteristic of the new regime. Studentswere also trained as economists, architects, agriculturalists, socialwelfare workers, and teachers.

19 世紀(jì) 50 年代以前美國有一些小的學(xué)院，大多數(shù)成立于殖民時(shí)期。 它們是與教會(huì)掛鉤的小機(jī)構(gòu)，主要目的是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的道德品行。 當(dāng)時(shí)在歐洲各地，高等教育機(jī)構(gòu)已經(jīng)發(fā)展 起來，用的是一個(gè)古老的名稱--大學(xué)。
德國已經(jīng)發(fā)展出一種不同類型的大學(xué)。 德國大學(xué)關(guān)心的主要是創(chuàng)造知識(shí)和傳播知識(shí)，而不是道德教育。 從世紀(jì)中葉到世紀(jì)末，有 9000 多名美 國青年因不滿國內(nèi)所受的教育而赴德深造。 他們中的一些人回國后成為一些知名學(xué)府--哈 佛、耶魯、哥倫比亞的校長并且把這些學(xué)府轉(zhuǎn)變成了現(xiàn)代意義的大學(xué)。
