                                        October 2, 1998      
              大 学 校 里 的 小 学 院  
 
              　 　 耶 鲁 的 「 住 宿 学 院 」 (residential college) 系  
统 是 仿 照 著 它 英 国 的 
              先 辈 牛 津 和 剑 桥 大 学 的 模 式 ， 在 本 世 纪 初 建 造 
 的 。 学 生 们 一 入 
              学 先 被 学 校 随 意 分 配 到 十 二 个 住 宿 学 院 中 的 一 
 个 ， 从 二 年 级 开 
              始 就 被 指 定 一 个 「 住 宿 学 院 」 ， 一 直 住 到 毕 业 
 为 止 。 校 方 不 无 
              自 豪 地 说 这 种 系 统 使 耶 鲁 学 生 既 享 受 到 了 大 学 
 的 设 施 气 魄 ， 又 
              得 到 了 小 学 院 的 亲 密 温 馨 。  
 
              　 　 的 确 是 这 样 。 我 们 新 生 一 入 学 ， 各 自 的  
「 住 宿 学 院 」 就 派 
              了 高 年 级 学 生 来 给 我 们 当 顾 问 ， 在 学 习 上 、 生 
 活 上 照 顾 我 们 ， 
              又 在 学 院 里 组 织 了 各 种 社 交 活 动 。 我 的 「 顾 问 
 」 是 一 个 四 年 级 
              名 叫 燕 妮 的 女 生 ， 长 得 非 常 清 秀 ， 英 语 系 的 ， 
 是 女 生 橄 榄 球 队 
              的 队 长 。 她 学 习 成 绩 好 ， 大 三 时 还 去 过 英 国 的 
 伦 敦 经 济 学 院 留 
              学 ， 对 留 学 的 步 骤 知 道 得 非 常 清 楚 ， 鼓 励 我 们 
 也 去 留 学 。 在 选 
              课 上 她 对 我 的 帮 助 倒 并 不 大 ， 可 是 我 每 次 见 她 
 脸 上 都 挂 著 的 甜 
              美 的 微 笑 ， 让 我 相 信 一 有 难 题 就 可 以 去 找 她 ， 
 令 我 感 到 心 里 踏 
              实 。  
 
              　 　 每 个 学 院 都 有 一 个 学 监 和 一 个 院 长 ， 都 住 
 在 学 院 住 宅 里 ， 
              前 者 管 学 生 的 学 习 ， 后 者 管 学 生 的 生 活 ， 让 我 
 们 在 为 自 己 是  
              u 耶 鲁 学 生 」 自 豪 的 同 时 ， 也 为 自 己 是 这 个 住 
 宿 学 院 的 一 份 子 
              而 感 到 自 豪 。 住 宅 学 院 风 格 各 异 ， 设 备 不 同 。 
 有 的 学 院 如 摩 尔 
              斯 （ Morse ） 大 而 现 代 化 ， 建 筑 据 说 没 有 一 个 直 
 角 ； 还 有 的 ， 如 
              我 所 在 的 卡 尔 洪 （ Calhoun ） 则 像 小 巧 玲 珑 的 园 
 林 。 所 有 的 学 院 
              都 有 自 己 的 食 堂 、 电 视 房 、 钢 琴 室 、 健 身 房 和 
 图 书 馆 。 但 许 多 
              学 院 有 自 己 的 特 殊 之 处 ： 卡 尔 洪 据 说 有 一 个 桑 
 那 浴 室 （ 尽 管 我 
              到 现 在 都 没 见 识 过 ） ， 而 伯 克 利 （ Berkeley ） 则 
 有 错 综 复 杂 的 地 
              下 通 道 。  
 
              　 　 一 进 学 校 ， 新 生 们 就 被 打 上 了 他 们 学 院 的 
 烙 印 ， 刚 相 识 的 
              人 最 常 问 的 一 句 话 是 ： 「 你 是 哪 个 学 院 的 ？ 」 
  
 
              校 规 与 教 规 的 冲 突  
 
              　 　 不 过 ， 最 近 ， 耶 鲁 的 「 住 宿 学 院 制 」 受 到 
 质 疑 。 五 名 保 守 
              犹 太 教 派 的 新 生 在 今 年 年 初 联 名 起 诉 耶 鲁 校 方 
 ， 要 求 同 意 他 们 
              住 在 校 外 。 这 是 违 反 校 规 的 。 这 五 名 学 生 们 声 
 称 他 们 的 宗 教 不 
              允 许 他 们 住 在 「 充 斥 著 性 、 酗 酒 、 毒 品 和 异 性 
 的 校 内 」 。 而 校 
              方 则 声 明 「 住 宿 学 校 制 」 是 耶 鲁 最 重 要 的 一 个 
 制 度 ， 是 耶 鲁 学 
              生 生 活 中 必 不 可 少 的 一 部 份 。 校 方 说 ： 大 学 的 
 教 育 绝 不 只 限 于 
              课 堂 上 ， 在 与 同 龄 人 的 交 往 中 所 受 到 的 教 育 往 
 往 对 一 个 人 的 影 
              响 比 书 本 大 得 多 。 如 果 这 些 学 生 不 愿 意 住 在 学 
 校 ， 就 等 于 他 们 
              不 愿 意 经 历 在 耶 鲁 大 学 教 育 中 最 重 要 的 一 章 ， 
 那 乾 脆 还 不 如 转 
              学 算 了 。  
 
              　 　 耶 鲁 作 为 学 校 给 自 己 的 学 生 定 校 规 的 权 力 
 ， 与 学 生 们 作 为 
              美 国 公 民 享 有 宗 教 信 仰 的 自 由 ， 到 底 哪 个 更 优 
 先 ？ 这 个 问 题 在 
              学 生 中 也 激 起 激 烈 争 执 。 到 现 在 为 止 ， 似 乎 支 
 持 校 方 的 学 生 远 
              比 支 持 犹 太 教 学 生 们 的 要 多 。 许 多 学 生 认 为 这 
 些 犹 太 学 生 们  
              u 无 理 取 闹 」 ， 或 认 为 他 们 受 了 沽 名 钓 誉 者 的 
 利 用 ， 对 他 们 不 
              以 为 然 。 《 耶 鲁 每 日 新 闻 报 》 的 调 查 表 明 绝 大 
 部 份 的 学 生 都 站 
              在 校 方 一 面 ， 显 出 了 他 们 对 「 住 宿 学 院 制 」 的 
 忠 诚 。  
 
              　 　 不 过 ， 保 守 犹 太 教 派 的 学 生 在 耶 鲁 人 数 相 
 当 多 ， 势 力 也 很 
              大 。 他 们 从 华 盛 顿 雇 来 最 好 的 律 师 。 律 师 指 出 
 ， 耶 鲁 的 校 规 自 
              相 矛 盾 ： 规 定 新 生 一 律 住 在 校 内 ， 可 是 却 把 二 
 十 一 岁 以 上 的 人 
              和 已 婚 的 人 除 外 。 他 们 反 问 ， 为 什 么 有 宗 教 原 
 因 的 就 不 行 呢 ？ 
              校 方 则 表 示 如 果 犹 太 依 学 生 起 诉 的 话 ， 他 们 愿 
 意 奉 陪 到 底 。 这 
              场 案 子 ， 看 来 会 越 闹 越 大 ， 甚 至 可 能 进 最 高 法 
 院 。  
 
              　 　 坦 白 地 说 ， 我 是 耶 鲁 「 住 宿 学 院 制 」 一 个 
 衷 心 的 拥 护 者 。 
              我 最 要 好 的 朋 友 和 大 部 份 认 识 的 人 ， 都 是 卡 尔 
 洪 学 院 的 。 耶 鲁 
              这 一 制 度 ， 让 我 这 个 新 生 在 有 洋 洋 五 千 人 的 大 
 学 校 里 不 至 于 旁 
              徨 ， 相 反 很 有 归 属 感 和 安 全 感 。
