The War between Christianity and Devil, Secularity and Meat1One night in 764, a sudden fire enveloped Harvard University, and the famous Harvard Building was instantly reduced to ashes. Harvard building is a library. All the books here were donated to the school after Harvard died. In memory of Mr. Harvard, the school set up books, but the fire made the library an eternal memory. To this end, all the teachers and students in the school lamented. In the crowd, a student named John fell into endless entanglements, because what happened the afternoon before the fire put him in a dilemma. At that time, 17-year-old John had just been admitted to Harvard University. His favorite thing on weekdays is reading, and almost all his extracurricular time is occupied by the library. This was very valuable in the United States where the learning atmosphere was not strong at that time. John is like a duck to water because of the large amount of knowledge in the book, but his only regret is that the library has a rigid rule: you can only read books in the library and you can't take them out, otherwise you will be severely punished. "Should I hand in the book or hide it?" John kept asking himself. After some ideological struggle, he still knocked on the office of the principal, Horrick, and said in shame, "Mr. President, I took the liberty of taking out a book by Mr. Harvard. Please take it back. " Hearing John's words, Horrick stood up in surprise, took the book with trembling hands and said slowly, "Thank you for keeping this precious legacy for the school. Go out and wait for arrangements. " When other school leaders heard about it, they were all very happy. Some people even suggested praising John's moral quality. However, two days later, to our surprise, the school posted a notice that said: John was ordered to quit school for violating the school rules. Was ordered to drop out of school? The news is a blow to John. Many teachers and students also expressed difficulty in accepting this, and repeatedly persuaded the principal: "This is the only orphan among all the books donated by Mr. Harvard. Give him another chance. " The words fell on the floor and everyone was silent. In this way, President Hoorik's attitude and style of doing things has become a legendary story of Harvard from generation to generation, and his words have also become Harvard's philosophy of running a school: it is more effective to let school rules guard everything in Harvard than to let morality guard Harvard. What is even more unexpected is that after John was expelled from Harvard, he was impressed by the president's words and suddenly realized. In the second year, he was admitted to Columbia University, specializing in jurisprudence, and achieved remarkable results. After graduation, John became a lawyer. After the American War of Independence began, he joined Thomas Jefferson's team and became his personal assistant, making suggestions for Jefferson's drafting of the Propaganda of Independence, just like a walking dictionary of jurisprudence. This story tells us that although John was expelled from Harvard, he became one of the outstanding representatives who practiced the spirit of Harvard.
