The Rise of Australia

Chapter 41 University starts

On October 18, 1900, the first admissions examination for the Australian National University, which was well known to everyone after publicity, officially began.

Because of the nature of the Australian National University in cultivating talents needed by Australia, the content of this admissions examination is also related to five majors. There are five papers in the five majors. Each major is selected for admission, and only the ability is considered and nothing else is considered.

This can effectively screen out students who are talented in various majors, instead of being like later generations who seem to be taught everything but actually learn nothing.

What Australia needs now is a professional talent, not a so-called college student who is involved in all aspects but actually knows nothing.

Arthur has not read the questions jointly set by the teachers, but Arthur can tell from the mood and conversations of the candidates during the two days of the exam that this professional exam is far from as simple as it seems.

Because of the huge number of papers, Arthur urgently mobilized a group of teachers and educated officials to work overtime to correct them. Finally, after more than ten days, all the papers were marked and the results were tallied.

November 2, Sydney, in front of the Australian National University.

Thousands of candidates are waiting anxiously around the gate of the university. Some of them may be excited, some may be restless, but they all look at the gate of the school expectantly.

For them, they don't have to worry about choosing a major, because after passing the professional examination, each major will admit them based on their scores.

But it just so happens that if they are not admitted to majors with better performance, then it is conceivable that they will be admitted to majors with poor performance.

Soon, the university teachers came out with a bulletin board full of names and placed it in the most conspicuous position at the school entrance.

"Everyone, the admission list for each major of the Australian National University is here. You can check carefully to see if your name is on it, but no noise is allowed at the school gate. All students who are admitted will officially enroll in three days, and those who are not admitted will not be admitted. Don’t be discouraged, the next admissions period will be in September next year, and you can apply then.”

After a few brief introductions, the university teachers returned to the campus. And those candidates hurriedly walked to the bulletin board, trying to find their names on the bulletin board.

Time passed quickly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The successfully admitted candidates have been waiting impatiently at the school gate, hoping to enter the campus they have dreamed of for a long time.

Those who were not admitted would go back dejected on the same day. After all, the free accommodation provided by Arthur for these candidates is only until the end of the exam, after which they have to pay for their own stay in Sydney.

Not long after, the university's gate was successfully opened, and a total of 800 freshmen officially entered the campus of the Australian National University amid cheers.

Arthur was currently on the highest floor of the campus. Looking at these students in their prime, Arthur smiled with satisfaction.

All expenses incurred by these more than 800 freshmen at the university are provided by Arthur, including room and board and various tuition and fees.

As long as he adds a few ideological education courses to the university, Arthur can guarantee that these college students will become his loyal supporters and his most loyal team.

Another advantage of these young people is that they are more forward-thinking and can accept and support any reforms Arthur makes in Australia.

And young people are often passionate, and they can also influence their families and hometowns.

With the graduation of batch after batch of passionate college students year after year, in the future, Australia's bottom elite and middle elite will be in Arthur's hands.

Of course, the opening ceremony is indispensable for the beginning of school, not to mention the opening of the first class of students of Australia's first university.

Arthur attached great importance to this opening ceremony and even dispatched the Guards to take care of the etiquette.

The purpose is to fill these college students who have just entered college with enthusiasm and devote all their spirits and thoughts to their loyalty to the country and Arthur.

The opening ceremony began with Arthur's speech, in which he reviewed Australia's history from the colony to the present independent country, promoted his own achievements, and reiterated his goal of making Australia rise.

Then he focused on encouraging these young people and officially announced the establishment of the scholarship.

Under these combinations of punches, these college students who have just entered school are like new wives getting off the sedan chair, and they can only be at the mercy of others.

Then came the speeches from the president of the university and the deans of various majors, but Arthur had no interest in listening to the chatter of these old guys and left early.

Although Arthur only attended the entire opening ceremony for less than an hour, the sensation it caused was indeed huge.

The reforms and policies implemented by Arthur in Australia are remembered by all Australians, especially these young men who are over 18 or 19 years old. Because they have no experience in society, they are very easy to be influenced by public opinion and have blind opinions on a person. Good intentions and bad intentions.

Driven by the media controlled by Arthur, Arthur has become a perfect monarch in the hearts of these young people, the savior who saves Australia from fire and water.

Encouraged by Arthur, one can naturally imagine the enthusiasm and impulse these young college students can unleash.

It is precisely because of this that the semi-military management pursued by the university goes very smoothly. Although nearly eleven hours are spent studying every day from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., except for meals and breaks, no student has any complaints and everyone is devoted to studying. Among the mighty team.

In order to enable these precious college students to master sufficient abilities instead of just talking on paper.

Arthur specifically allowed each major to have an opportunity to practice outside once a week, and asked all departments to cooperate with the practice of college students.

For students majoring in mechanics and architecture, this is a hard job. After all, Australia's industry is under construction, and there is a lot of hard work such as physical labor and equipment transportation that no one is doing. These college students with a little experience happen to be Perfect candidate.

Although it is a bit suspected of being a coolie, a lot of knowledge can be learned through practice, so none of these college students objected, but they all looked forward to the weekly practical activities.

Arthur was also happy to do this, and the industrial department was eager for these students with a little foundation to replace those workers with no foundation, so this matter was settled.
