 Gerhard Casper's speech at Peking Univ.: 5/98
What research-intensive universities need to do now, as the 21st century approaches, is to think much harder about what distinguishes them as institutions from other societal institutions engaged in teaching, in order to bring into sharper focus for themselves and for society what is their unique and lasting task.
As we know, Peking University resulted from the Hundred Day Reform of 1898 and was made the pinnacle of a multi-layered educational system that was meant to modernize the education and training of officials.
Quite to the contrary, with universities seemingly hopelessly confused about their mission as they enter the 21st century, it is a matter of urgency to reflect on the university's core tasks and not be diverted by those who want the university to be all things to all people.

 Speech: Peking University, 5/14/02
Today, Harvard is a university that is far more open and inclusive to men and to women, to persons of all faiths, to persons of all races, to persons from every state in our country, to persons from every country in the world.
Just as universities do when they bring the best scholars, let them follow their imaginations, don't try to direct them, in reliance on the idea that in the long run it is their knowledge and new ideas that will pay off.
Universities will need increasingly to maintain their sense of organization and structure but also be prepared to exploit those areas of study that are most important at the boundaries of knowledge.

This commitment can be traced all the way to the background shared by Peking University and Stanford - Wilhelm von Humboldt and the German universities of the 19th century.
The most successful method of knowledge and technology transfer on the part of the universities lies in educating first-rate students who themselves have been engaged in the search to know - men and women who will then be in a position to take on leadership roles in industry and business.
