Mao Zedong: an outstanding scholar and a model of the world.
Wang Yuanfang: Cai Yuanpei's gentle appearance makes people respect him. He is the only person in our country.
Neighbor of Zhu Shou: The purity and profundity of people's knowledge and morality are peaceful and upright, while the world is full of contempt, just like what Zhuangzi called purity and regularity, but it is better than a madman. The people's moral knowledge is a collection of achievements at all times and in all countries. It is great to practice it and not be ashamed to ask questions.
Feng Youlan: Cai Yuanpei is a person who truly meets the standards of a gentleman in modern times. Mr Cai's personality is the highest embodiment of Confucian educational ideal.
Fu Sinian: Mr. Cai Yuanpei really represents two great cultures: one is the cultivation of traditional sages in China; First, the ideal of freedom and love in western Europe. There is a difficulty in these two cultures, both of which are particularly important. After Mr. Wang's death, both cultures died out in China!
Chen Duxiu: Generally speaking, Mr. Cai is an indispensable good man; But sometimes, he stubbornly insists on major festivals or things he has made up his mind to, and he can't bend the rules, although his attitude is still very mild; This is the first point that his old gentleman admires. Since the 1898 coup, Mr. Cai himself has often tended to the new progressive movement. However, when he was the president of Peking University, he was conservative and respected the freedom of academic thought, even Gu Hongming, who advocated the restoration of the Qing emperor, and Liu Ye, who participated in the Hongxian Movement, because of his knowledge of being a teacher by example, which was rare among orientals accustomed to autocracy. This is the second point that his old gentleman admires.
Dewey (a famous American educator): Compared with the principals of top schools such as Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and Columbia, Cai's professional knowledge is not as good as theirs; But in education, they can't compete with Cai. As a president, I am afraid that no one but Cai Yuanpei can lead that university to play a turning point in a nation and an era.
Lin Yutang: Mr. Cai (Yuan Pei) is Mr. Cai. This is the feeling of my colleagues at Peking University. The meaning of blindness seems to contain infinite love and respect, and it seems to say that there is no second Mr. Cai in the world. Although others have their own advantages and disadvantages, everyone agrees with Mr. Cai's point of view, and there is nothing to say.
