陳立同志1902年7月22日出生于湖南平江，2004年3月18日，以102歲高齡在杭州逝世，轉(zhuǎn)眼已三周年多了。這位德高望重的心理學(xué)家、教育學(xué)家，帶著他豐碩的教育事業(yè)成就和科學(xué)研究成果離開了這個世界，讓人無限痛惜。他殫精竭慮，恪盡職守，無私奉獻(xiàn)，耗盡了自己的一生心血。他所作出的貢獻(xiàn)與業(yè)績、所展示的人品與學(xué)品，將永遠(yuǎn)銘記在教育界、科學(xué)界一代人的心中，并將毫無愧色地載入史冊。正如一位詩人所寫：“有的人活著，他已經(jīng)死了；有的人死了，他還活著?！标惲⑼倦m已離開塵世，但仍然活著，永遠(yuǎn)活在我們心中。

與陳立同志交往20多年，我始終把他看成是我的師長和兄長。我們在相處和共事的年月里，交往密切，思想相通，配合默契。他嚴(yán)以律己，寬以待人，不但是一位慈祥的長者，也是一位誠摯的朋友。他雖已離開了我們，但他的音容笑貌、神情舉止，至今仍歷歷在目。他在多屆政協(xié)會議上深思熟慮地議論國事、認(rèn)真負(fù)責(zé)書寫提案的情景；他不顧高齡，每逢過年過節(jié)穿梭在老教授家訪問敘談的身影；為辦好樹人大學(xué)，他“因承知遇”而在夜深人靜時撰寫一條條建議所吐露的肺腑之言；他在98歲高齡之時還充分表現(xiàn)出對生活的毅力，勇敢地下水游泳……所有這一切，都讓人感慨系之，欽佩不已。

1978年粉碎“四人幫”不久，高等院校由“文革”時期的革委會制恢復(fù)到校長制。當(dāng)年5月，我剛從北京調(diào)任浙江省委常委、宣傳部長工作，并由我兼任杭州大學(xué)校長，從此時起我與陳立同志的交往較多，幾次到學(xué)校召開座談會都得到陳立同志的很好配合，他對學(xué)校的恢復(fù)、建設(shè)、發(fā)展提出的建議，都十分中肯，很有見地。尤其是對“左”的思潮給學(xué)校帶來的災(zāi)難，他深惡痛絕，為使學(xué)校在百孔千瘡的情況下恢復(fù)元氣走上正軌，陳立同志努力參與治理和整頓，功不可沒。

“文革”時期給學(xué)校遺留下來的一大陰影，就是否定知識分子、專家學(xué)者的作用，學(xué)校的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層中，書記、校長南下干部居多，知識分子教授專家很少，這對學(xué)校發(fā)展非常不利。對此我和陳立同志都深有同感，我多次向省委建議，應(yīng)當(dāng)讓學(xué)有專長、有教學(xué)經(jīng)驗的專家學(xué)者和教授來擔(dān)任校長。在省委的統(tǒng)一部署下，以后我就不再兼任杭州大學(xué)校長，校長由陳立同志擔(dān)任，此后又一批專家教授陸續(xù)走上校長的崗位，如劉丹出任浙江大學(xué)黨委書記、王季午出任浙江醫(yī)科大學(xué)校長、朱祖祥出任浙江農(nóng)業(yè)大學(xué)校長等。

陳立同志擔(dān)任杭州大學(xué)校長后，對學(xué)校教育制度提出了一套完整的改革思路，并親自在實踐中加以完善提高。他非常重視學(xué)科的建設(shè)，鑒于當(dāng)時的杭大仍擔(dān)負(fù)培養(yǎng)中學(xué)師資的任務(wù)，他要求學(xué)校的文理各系科應(yīng)當(dāng)加強(qiáng)基礎(chǔ)理論的建設(shè)，向中學(xué)輸送合格的優(yōu)秀人才。他認(rèn)為一個人在成才過程中，中學(xué)教育特別重要，他常以自己就讀的湖北博文中學(xué)(現(xiàn)為武昌15中)所培養(yǎng)的人才為例來說明中學(xué)教育之重要。

他還以發(fā)展眼光，提出學(xué)校應(yīng)辦好經(jīng)濟(jì)、旅游、財會和心理學(xué)等系科，尤其對心理學(xué)的研究和建設(shè)傾注了畢生的精力。早在1935年他就撰寫出版我國第一部工業(yè)心理學(xué)專著——《工業(yè)心理學(xué)概觀》，成為我國的工業(yè)心理學(xué)乃至應(yīng)用心理學(xué)理論發(fā)展的重要里程碑，1980年他創(chuàng)辦了杭州大學(xué)心理學(xué)系，為我國現(xiàn)代心理學(xué)教學(xué)、科研和實踐人才的培養(yǎng)建立了一個重要基地。

他非常重視調(diào)動知識分子的積極性，把其中優(yōu)秀者提拔到領(lǐng)導(dǎo)崗位上來。在他主持杭州大學(xué)工作期間，著力解決了著名作家陳學(xué)昭的“右派”平反問題，以讓她“脫穎而出”，為她撰寫革命回憶錄提供了條件。1983年機(jī)構(gòu)改革時，他極力推薦一批優(yōu)秀教育工作者提拔到領(lǐng)導(dǎo)崗位上，當(dāng)時擔(dān)任科研處處長的薛艷莊同志后來擔(dān)任杭州大學(xué)校長就是一例。

在我參與創(chuàng)辦樹人大學(xué)的過程中，始終得到了陳立同志的真誠支持。他的創(chuàng)造性辦學(xué)理念，成為辦好樹人大學(xué)的一條寶貴經(jīng)驗。陳立同志是樹人大學(xué)第一、二、三屆董事會成員，每次開會他都不顧高齡按時到會，而且對學(xué)校提出許多建設(shè)性意見，最使我感動的是他就1994年樹人大學(xué)的辦學(xué)方針給我寫過一封長信，顯示了他對樹人大學(xué)的赤誠之心。他在信中說：“我認(rèn)為樹人大學(xué)十年來功績昭著，不用縷述。我感到最根本的，仍不得不認(rèn)為是我一再提起的您原來提出來的辦學(xué)目的：‘拾遺補(bǔ)缺’。”“樹大之所以有今天，除您大力羅致各方面的資力外，作為民辦的制度不像公辦學(xué)校全無自主權(quán)，動輒捉肘也是一個原因。”“如果與公立學(xué)校并軌，受累無窮，對發(fā)展利少害多?！薄斑^去陶行知辦曉莊師范能為革命建功，這可能得歸功于民辦?！边@些意見現(xiàn)在看來平淡無奇，但當(dāng)時還是一切以“公有制”為正統(tǒng)思維的時代，有可能被套上種種“帽子”，以致他在信的末尾說：“我知道這樣說是錯誤的，所以不便公開。但我不得不承認(rèn)這仍是我的淺見?！彼蛭姨龟愖约旱囊娊?，雖心有余悸但又對我充分信賴，這種為了開發(fā)民辦教育資源的見解和判斷，如果不是對教育事業(yè)有一顆“金子般”的心，是絕不會有此舉動的。

陳立同志晚年仍與我走動不斷，促膝談心。有一年春節(jié)，他百歲高齡還到我家來探望，使我深受感動。我們兄弟般地家長里短，無話不談，但雙方談話中最關(guān)心的還是教育事業(yè)，這仍是我們的中心話題，我們談得最多的是浙大四校聯(lián)合，這是劉丹、陳立與朱祖祥同志多年的意愿，而今終于實現(xiàn)，我們都感到高興。陳立同志希望四校合并后優(yōu)勢互補(bǔ)、資源共享，更希望合并后四校強(qiáng)項建設(shè)得到進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)，為國家培養(yǎng)更多的高級建設(shè)人才。我每次到他家去拜訪，感覺他雖已高齡，事業(yè)卓有成效，但仍然甘居陋室，樂在其中。他擔(dān)任校長期間一間會客室不足6平方米，成天伏案工作的書房也不過4平方米左右，真是對工作要求很高很高，對生活享受很低很低。

他有一個兒子做了很長時間臨時工，他不托關(guān)系、不走后門，讓子女經(jīng)受鍛煉，后來還是別的朋友看不過去，才幫其解決兒子的臨時工問題。

魯迅曾說：“科學(xué)者，必常恬淡，常遜讓，有理想，有圣覺，一切無有而能貽業(yè)績于后世者，未之有聞?！弊鳛橐粋€教育家、科學(xué)家，陳立同志就是一個恬淡的人，遜讓的人，一個有理想的人，一個有圣覺的人?？傊?，他以一個科學(xué)家的態(tài)度，實踐了科學(xué)家的理想，為后人留下了不朽的精神財富。他的楷模形象，將永遠(yuǎn)鼓舞人們踏著他的足跡前進(jìn)!

My Mentor and Friend Chen Li

By Wang Jiayang

The year 2007 marks the third anniversary of Chen Li's demise. Chen Li， a psychologist and educator， was my mentor and friend. This article is in his memory.

Chen Li was born on July 22， 1902 in central China's Hunan Province and passed away in Hangzhou on March 18， 2004.

I knew Chen for over 20 years and I regarded him as both my mentor and my friend. Over this long period of time， we saw eye to eye on many important issues and worked together fruitfully. An excellent scholar， he was strict with himself but treated other people generously and warm-heartedly. In my memory， the past with him is just like yesterday: he spoke earnestly on important issues at the CPPCC sessions and took pains to write proposals; he paid visits to professors on important days; he presented a carefully written agenda to guide the development of the Shuren University; and he swam at the age of 98， showing his great vitality.

After the fall of the Gang of the Four in 1976， the so-called revolutionary committees that had ruled higher education institutions across the country were eliminated and presidents were appointed. In May， 1978， I was transferred from Beijing to Hangzhou to work as director of the publicity department of the CPC Zhejiang Provincial Committee and as the president of the Hangzhou University. It was during this time that I came to know Chen Li. At a few workshops， he condemned the nightmarish practices of the Cultural Revolution and made proposals to put the university back on the right track. He contributed a great deal to the work of redressing the wrongdoings at the university.

The Cultural Revolution had trampled intellectuals. During that time， most leading posts were held by people whose academic background was definitely negligible. After the chaos， the presence of these leaders at the universities in the province was deterring the full recovery and future development of higher education. Chen and I agreed on this observation. I made suggestions to the CPC Zhejiang Committee， saying that it was imperative to appoint outstanding scholars to head universities. My proposal was adopted. Of the scholars who came to head higher education institutions in the province， Chen Li was appointed the president of Hangzhou University.

Chen did quite a lot in putting the university back on the right track. At that time， part of the mission of the university was to cultivate middle school teachers. Chen emphasized the importance of basic academic training so as to send best prepared graduates to teaching posts across the city.

Chen gave priority to the departments of tourism， economics， finance and psychology. He saw the importance of giving full play to the initiative of scholars. He rehabilitated Chen Xuezhao who had been designated as a \"rightist\" in the late 1950s. He recommended many outstanding scholars in 1983 to important posts. Xue Yanzhuang， director of the scientific research department， was later appointed to the presidency of the university.

When I was in charge of setting up and running the Shuren University， Chen helped me a great deal. His education philosophy has been a key to the success of the university. As a member of the board of directors for the university in three terms， he attended every meeting and made valuable suggestions. In 1994， he wrote me a long letter on the guidelines he believed the university should follow.

We visited each other during the last years of his life. He visited me during the Spring Festival when he was 100 years old. We chatted freely， but the focus of our conversation was education. The most interesting topic was the new Zhejiang University as the result of the merge of four universities in Hangzhou. Chen said he hoped the merge would make the sharing of education resources possible and produce more talents for the country.

Chen was a man of simple life. His apartment was quite small when he headed the Hangzhou University. The sitting room was no more than 6 square meters large and his study was 4 square meters large. One of his sons was out of formal employment for a long while and had to work as a temporary. Chen never asked any of his friends for help on this issue.

As a scientist and educator， Chen was a man of modesty， ideal， and sacred thought. He left a spiritual wealth to this world， which encourages people to follow his footsteps.
