中學教育很重要:湯川秀樹、胡適及柳宗悦,李遠哲和李敖

Ben Chen:"......湯川秀樹的回憶錄title:《旅人》......",讓我想起他們那一輩,中學同學就多英才。我們讀許多英國名人的回憶錄或傳記,可以知道中學是外語和學問的啟蒙期,同學間的合辦刊物,更是重要的友情與思想磨練 (譬如胡適及柳宗悦,他兩人的生歿年一樣;兩年前,溫肇東教授退休展覽會座談者有他建中校刊的編輯同學........)。
李遠哲(新竹)和李敖(台中),都有機會讀圖書館中的禁書。
今天,美國的曾學長跟我們介紹一間圖書館:Phillips Exeter Academy Library is a library that serves Phillips Exeter Academy, an independent boarding school located in Exeter, New Hampshire. It is the largest secondary school library in the world, containing 160,000 volumes over nine levels but a shelf capacity of 250,000 volumes.
有意思的是,這間是該校1945級畢業生捐的:
