一位製造業的企業家曾於一場大學畢業典禮演說時提到，高等教育成功的關鍵在於考量大學畢業生的就業市場需求，以平撫一般大眾的憂慮。然而，事實上可能會顧此失彼：大學教育的排他性過高，可能會導致畢業生最後落得找不到工作；學問追求若過於全面通泛，也可能會造成畢業生失去其利基。因此，大學要在維持本身學術獨立的自由空間之同時，也讓學生能具備專業的一技之長，這點至關重要。

People gathered across Paris in shock and in tears as the Notre Dame cathedral, one of the city’s most famous landmarks, caught on fire, sending up giant billows of smoke and flames. The fire broke out in the evening on April 15, and the flames quickly engulfed the cathedral’s spire, which was reconstructed in the 19th century, causing it to collapse. Thousands of onlookers watched as the fire glowed red in the spire before the pointed structure splintered and fell over, sending more smoke and flames upward.
The official cause of the blaze is currently unknown, though a spokesperson for firefighters in Paris said the fire began in the cathedral’s attic. French President Emmanuel Macron, in a speech to the nation that night, offered thanks to emergency responders who battled the flames and vowed Notre Dame will be rebuilt. He said, “This is our history, and it’s burning.”
