                                        October 17, 1998      
              你 知 道 的 普 林 斯 顿 大 学  
 
              　 　 关 于 普 林 斯 顿 大 学 ， 这 所 美 国 乃 至 世 界 的 
 最 著 名 学 府 之 一 
              ， 你 一 定 已 经 知 道 了 不 少 。  
 
              　 　 你 知 道 阿 尔 伯 特 · 爱 因 斯 坦 在 这 里 度 过 了 
 生 命 中 最 后 的 二 
              十 二 年 时 光 ； 知 道 当 代 最 著 名 的 大 诗 人 之 一 T.S.  
艾 略 特 本 世 纪 
              初 在 此 沈 溺 于 冥 想 玄 思 ； 知 道 这 里 是 美 国 独 立 
 战 争 时 期 重 要 纪 
              念 地 ， 乔 治 · 华 盛 顿 将 军 在 此 与 英 军 大 战 几 个 
 回 合 ─ ─ 对 了 ， 
              他 还 称 赞 过 普 林 斯 顿 大 学 是 一 所 「 能 给 人 以 值 
 得 尊 重 的 教 养 」 
              的 圣 殿 ； 你 知 道 普 林 斯 顿 大 学 的 尊 崇 地 位 的 标 
 志 之 一 就 是 每 逢 
              五 十 年 校 庆 ， 一 定 请 到 当 时 在 任 的 总 统 前 来 演 
 讲 ─ ─ 两 百 五 十 
              年 校 庆 时 来 此 发 表 演 讲 的 柯 林 顿 总 统 明 白 ： 这 
 是 普 林 斯 顿 大 学 
 
 
              　 　 或 许 你 更 清 楚 地 知 道 华 人 中 最 早 获 得 诺 贝 
 尔 物 理 学 奖 的 杨 
              振 宁 ， 曾 经 在 这 里 埋 头 于 高 能 物 理 世 界 ； 你 知 
 道 一 九 九 五 年 香 
              港 建 筑 业 大 亨 、 和 合 集 团 总 裁 、 普 林 斯 顿 校 友 
 胡 应 湘 捐 给 母 校 
              一 亿 美 元 ， 是 该 校 收 到 捐 款 的 最 大 手 笔 ； 你 知 
 道 著 名 的 历 史 学 
              家 余 英 时 、 经 济 学 家 邹 至 庄 等 等 在 这 里 任 教 ； 
 普 林 斯 顿 的 东 亚 
              图 书 馆 的 中 文 资 料 之 丰 富 ， 在 全 美 中 文 图 书 馆 
 中 名 列 前 茅 。  
 
              　 　 如 果 你 关 心 时 事 ， 你 还 会 知 道 从 八 十 年 代 
 末 ， 这 里 又 聚 集 
              了 相 当 一 批 华 人 学 术 精 英 ， 他 们 出 各 种 中 英 文 
 杂 志 ， 成 为 美 国 
              从 事 中 国 当 代 政 治 社 会 研 究 的 中 心 之 一 ；  
 
              　 　 说 普 林 斯 顿 大 学 对 人 类 文 明 做 出 巨 大 贡 献 
 ， 绝 非 溢 美 之 词 
              。 在 这 里 执 教 和 从 这 里 走 出 的 科 学 家 、 文 学 家 
 以 及 各 个 领 域 大 
              师 泰 斗 ， 数 不 胜 数 。  
 
              　 　 普 林 斯 顿 大 学 的 消 息 常 常 越 出 校 园 、 越 出 
 社 区 ， 引 起 全 美 
              甚 至 全 球 瞩 目 。 例 如 一 九 九 八 年 一 过 元 旦 ， 就 
 又 传 开 了 一 条 与 
              普 林 斯 顿 有 关 的 新 闻 ： 普 林 斯 顿 大 学 教 授 安 德 
 鲁 · 怀 尔 斯 用 九 
              年 废 寝 忘 食 的 研 究 攻 破 了 一 道 三 百 五 十 年 的 数 
 学 难 题 「 佛 玛 的 
              最 后 定 理 」 ， 荣 获 奖 金 高 达 二 十 万 美 元 的 费 瑟 
 国 王 国 际 奖 。  
 
              　 　 关 于 普 林 斯 顿 大 学 ， 或 许 还 有 些 你 不 知 道 
 的 趣 闻 。  
 
              渐 变 日 积 月 累  
 
              　 　 如 果 想 要 适 应 在 普 林 斯 顿 的 生 活 ， 你 首 先 
 要 适 应 它 「 注 重 
              传 统 」 的 这 一 特 徵 ─ ─ 虽 然 变 革 也 在 不 引 人 注 
 意 地 悄 悄 发 生 。 
              在 平 等 权 益 运 动 和 校 园 多 元 化 占 尽 上 风 的 九 十 
 年 代 ， 普 林 斯 顿 
              大 学 似 乎 还 是 没 有 摆 脱 它 以 白 人 男 性 为 主 的 昔 
 日 。 它 其 实 在 一 
              九 六 九 年 起 就 开 始 录 取 女 学 生 ， 但 在 三 十 年 后 
 的 今 天 ， 仍 有 许 
              多 人 抱 怨 它 的 男 女 学 生 比 例 不 平 衡 。 在 它 一 九 
 九 六 年 度 的 新 生 
              中 ， 百 分 之 五 十 四 是 男 生 。 这 个 百 分 比 已 比 五 
 年 前 要 好 得 多 ， 
              但 许 多 女 学 生 仍 抱 怨 学 校 对 她 们 的 重 视 不 够 ， 
 声 称 她 们 所 要 面 
              对 的 不 只 是 繁 重 的 学 业 ， 还 有 在 校 园 里 无 处 不 
 见 男 性 文 化 的 传 
              统 。 就 连 普 林 斯 顿 的 校 歌 《 老 拿 苏 》 ， 过 去 的 
 歌 词 一 直 是 ：  
 
              　 　 「 来 赞 美 老 拿 苏 我 的 男 孩 们  
 
              　 　 好 啊 好 啊 好 啊  
 
              　 　 她 的 儿 子 们 将 奉 献 他 们 的 生 活  
 
              　 　 来 赞 美 老 拿 苏 」  
 
              　 　 在 妇 女 团 体 的 强 烈 要 求 下 ， 这 段 歌 词 被 改 
 成 ：  
 
              　 　 「 来 赞 美 老 拿 苏 我 们 歌 唱  
 
              　 　 好 啊 好 啊 好 啊  
 
              　 　 我 们 的 心 将 奉 献 我 们 的 生 活  
 
              　 　 来 赞 美 老 拿 苏 」  
 
              　 　 另 外 ， 被 录 取 学 生 中 ， 大 约 有 百 分 之 十 二 
 是 校 友 的 子 女 ─ 
              ─ 这 也 引 起 许 多 人 的 不 满 。
