What is the university？This old and new question is always engaging to us， who are concerned about what the university was and is. However， not all of us， who are living inside and outside the university campus， understand this question. As time moves forward， the structures and systems of higher learning institutions are becoming more and more complicated. As a result， there is no end to the quest of the nature of the university and its modern implications.
