		XIONG Wan-Xi
		The failure of the Boston University search in 2003, which is considered as a representative example of the American college presidential search system, is explored in this study. Its failure, on the one hand, can be attributed to the improper interference of the former president John Silber, who has made the greatest contribution to the university. On the other hand, the unconventionality of the the is another cause. Based on this study, the involvement of the faculty member in the presidential the is emphasized. The philosophy that the most appropriate person, rather than the most famed one, should be selected as the president is proposed as well. What is more, it is also suggested that the presidential the should be protected from any external interference.

	29	Achieving a Correct Understanding of Some Relationships in the Construction for University Think Tank in China
		DU Bao-Gui, SUI Li-Min
		During the period of social transformation, university should participate actively in government decision consulting, playing an excellent role of thinktank. Distinctive from either the official thinktank or the folk thinktank, the university thinktank requires special attention in its contribution and development, where several relationships must be properly balanced, such as the relationship between “the think tank construction” and “its core function”, the one between “the think tank construction” and “basic scientific research”, the one between “special consulting” and “general consulting”, the one between “temporary consulting for emergency” and “longterm sustainable consulting”, the one between “independent consulting” and “collaborative consulting”, the one between “domestic thinktank construction” and “international thinktank construction”.

	38	On the Transfer of Property Rights in Private Colleges
		ZHANG Li-Guo, YAN Xiang
		Encouraging and supporting the transfer of property rights of private colleges under certain conditions not only meets the nature of profitseeking of capital, but also is an effective means of optimizing capital institutions and promoting optimal allocation of capital. Different from that of general enterprises, the transfer of property rights in private colleges should adhere to the principle of public welfare of education, sustainable development of education and the principle of legalization. The transfer of property rights in private colleges mainly concerns the exhibitors and the colleges. The major obstacles to the transfer of property rights include the incomplete property right system and transfer of property rights, the indistinct definition of property rights, the high transaction cost, the nonstandard transfer of property rights, and the unsound supporting system. As a result, it is advocated that the property right of private colleges and exhibitors should be clearly defined, the transfer system of property right perfected, the asset assessment procedure legally standardized, the property rights trading market established and the relevant legal systems improved.

	72	Reflections on the Logic of the Quantitative Assessment of Scientific Research: Rationalization,Bureaucratization and Ideologicalization
		YU Zhong-Hai
		The quantitative assessment of scientific research based on digits and technology reflects the rational academic logic. It instrumentalizes scientific research by setting up a unified, and objective assessment standard that publicizes the rational authority of digits and technology, which refracts the rational academic values of instruments. The quantitative model supported by the rationality of instruments embodies in practice bureaucratization of scientific research assessment logic. According to the administrative mode of planning, reporting, approving, and accepting, the academic assessment is made by filtrating, classifying and layering the projects and achievements with the help of digits and technology. Both rationalization and bureaucratization provide the basis and conditions for scientific research assessment to follow ideological logic. The blocking of assessment technique, the maintenance of professional boundary and the power game between professionals are imbued with the ideological connotation of authority, obedience and rigidity, leading to the horticultural academic management including priori, monitoring, enforcement and rewardpunishment.

	78	A FieldTheory Explanation of Postgraduates Academic Anomy
		CHEN Lei
		There are three factors that contribute to the academic anomy of the postgraduates from the perspective of field theory: firstly, the invasion of the social world demolishes the independence of academic field; secondly, the pressure brought about by the alienation of academic structures, especially of academic institution, becomes a significant force leading to the academic anomy of the postgraduates; finally, the postgraduates strategically take advantage of academic anomy to avoid complete failures. Proper precautions could be exercised to prevent postgraduates academic anomy: to guarantee the independence of academic filed; to reevaluate the rationality and validity of academic system and rules; and to guide postgraduates to develop favourable academic habits.

	92	Behavioral Analysis of the Dual Identities of the Counselors as the Boundary Spanners
		LIU Sheng-Nan
		A boundary spanner is a mediator across the boundaries of organizations, maintaining the contact between insiders and outsiders of the organizaiton. Combined with the university counselors dual role, boundary behavior is the core work of counselors, which directly affects students growth and the schools efficiency as an organization. Based on the theory of boundary spanner, this article analyzes the counselors as the boundary spanners who undertake the work of taking care of the organizational image, handling environmental information and managing the relationship between the organization and its external environment. It indicates that counselors suffer much pressure from being a spanner, such as role conflict, role ambiguity and role overload. It also offers some suggestions on alleviating rolerelated pressures in terms of correct view of organizational boundaries, attention to organizational support and elevation of individual working skills.

	108	Construction of the InnovationOriented Education System throughout the Undergraduate Program
		ZHANG Xiu-Rong
		An innovationoriented education system consists of a scheme for producing innovative talents and a mechanism to safeguard the innovationoriented education. The former is the core of the production of innovative talents while the latter ensures the implementation of the innovationoriented education system. In order to formulate a scheme fit for the production of innovative talents, “solid foundation, wide scope, cultivation of ability and innovativeness” should be established as the target of talent production, a scheme with “dual channel, tricombination and multimode” worked out, a reasonable curriculum system set up and a platform for extracurricular scientific innovation practice created. In the process of constructing the innovationoriented education safeguard mechanism, emphasis should be laid on the innovation of management safeguard mechanism and the relationship between administration and academic management should be well dealt with.

	112	Creative Personality of Students at Local Colleges:Status and Solutions: A Case Study of Nantong University
		WANG Can-Ming, WANG Min
		The full implementation of University Innovation Capability Promotion Plan (UICPP) means that innovational education is no longer a “luxury” of key universities. Local colleges and universities should also be responsible for the historic task of nurturing creative talents. The result from “Creativity Assessment Packet” illustrated that the students from different majors of Nantong University had different creative personality. The scores of elite school students were obviously higher than those of ordinary schools, but there were no significant differences when only grade and gender were taken into consideration. In the light of “hierarchical disadvantage” over “geographic advantage”, local colleges and universities in the eastern coastal areas should actively advance “Youth Marxist Project”, strengthen the construction of key disciplines, redesign professional curriculum to cultivate highquality innovative talents with excellent morals and academic skills.

	117	A Feasibility Study on College Students Online Entrepreneurial Approaches in the Mobile Times
		HUANG Wei
		The feasibility of entrepreneurial approaches refers to the entrepreneurs judgment on the difficulties of entrepreneurial projects. The recognition of entrepreneurial opportunities is the starting point for selecting entrepreneurial approaches. The development of Mobile Internet has caused profound changes in entrepreneurial approaches. In order to simplify the complexity of entrepreneurial opportunity recognition, we can divide network entrepreneurial approaches into six different layers based on the functional differences, which include management layer, channel layer, system layer, hardware layer, support layer, and content layer. With the entrepreneurial examples and data in different layers, we can summarize the important related factors affecting college students selection of online entrepreneurial approaches, and set up an evaluation model for the feasibility of college students online entrepreneurial approaches in the mobile times. The purpose is to guide college students to make a rational judgment on the feasibility of projects on the preparatory stage so as to reduce the risk of failure and improve entrepreneurial quality.
