By delivering lectures in colleges, academics can cultivate talents

MORE ACADEMICS SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED to deliver lectures to undergraduate students in colleges across the country, because such lectures can help cultivate talents. China Daily writer Wang Yiqing comments:

Three academics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering recently delivered lectures to undergraduates, especially freshmen, of Zhejiang University, which was welcomed by the students and the public.

Ba Denian, an 81-year-old academic of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, gave the first lecture to more than 400 freshmen at the School of Medicine during their welcome ceremony.
