It was a great personal disappointment to me that I
would not be able to serve at the Institute of Electronics
of our Alma Mater in the coming year. In spite of the
intensive efforts of the United Nations and all others
con-cerned, Syracuse Uuiversity has not deemed it possible to
relieve me for another year so soon after my year in Europe as a Fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation fat
1960--'61. Mowever, I am glad to learn from Mr. T. C. Tsao
that two professors from Cornell and one from M.1.T. are
‘>
go back to our own country if their special knowledgeand talents can be advantageously utilized and further developed
there. As conditions stand now, one is afraid to go back
for fear that highly technical lmowledge is not really needed there and that one would soon fall behind due to stag-nation in to-day's world of rapid technological progress. To
attract and keep people with advanced education and
training, there must be challenging jobs that offer security,
recognition,administrative support,and personal satisfaction.
On the other hand, it is absolutely essential that some of
these people should be willing to go back and remain in Taiwan so that the scientific level there can improve.
Otherwise, all our efforts would be in vain and result in no
net gain for China in the long run.
In line with the above, I would like to propose the
formation of a research division at the Institute of Electr一
onies. For the purpose of inviting discussion on this matter,
I am sketching some of my ideas below.
Research Laboratories of the Institute of Electronics National Chiao-Tung University
1. PURPOSE: (a) To preserve, utilize, and develop talents
in electronicsand related fields in Taiwan: (b) To foster a sustained research effort in electronics and related fields; (c) To keep China on the frontiers of electronic knowledge and to enhan':e her international reputation in scientific accomplishments.
II. ORGANIZATION: The Research Laboratories shall be a
di vision of the Iustitute of Electronics (separate from
teaching). The staff shall be consisted of Senior Memhers
(Ph. D. degree or equivalent, to be in charge of major
research tasks), Members (M. S. degree or equivalent),
and Student Members. There shall also be technicians
and other supporting personnel.
lIT. FUNCTIONS: (a) To do analytical and experimental
research in electronics and related fields; (的 Topresent

now getting ready to leave for Taiwan.
The ITU project is certainly a boon to the future of
the Institute. It enables the Institute to invite foreign
experts to Taiwan as visiting professors and to acquire needed equipment and other facilities-yet?at the risk of
being disputatious, one might dlli ask:what good does it
ultimately do to Taiwan-s scielltificleveiand achievement? I feel that this question is justified because few jobs exist in Taiwan which require advanced knowledge and because
most‘ if not all, of the Institute's graduates expect to go
abroad and stay abroad. Are we r以 just e心cati時 the
very best gronp of electronic engineers for other countrles? It seems to me that this whole undertaking would be a waste of effort and money if it does not do any real good
to China in the end. To justify its existence the Institute
of Electronics must strive to accomplish more than just training studeats who will eveILtually eithOE leave Taiwan permanently or be frustrated at some trivial jobs in Taiwan. I remember vividly a comment made by Professor Shr eveof purdue and Cheng Kung Universities at a dinner given by Dr.SM.Lee?Directorof the Institute of
Electron-ics、 whenI was in Taipei last November. He said flatly that
there was no need for postgraduate engineering training in Taiwan. This comment naturally hurt our pride; yet those of us who KIlow Professor Shreve would agree that he did
not mean to slight Chinese. It is a controvertoial topic to
which most of us are sensitive emotio叫ly. Nevertheless,it
is difficult to refute Professor Shreve's oplllion unless we provide a way to preservey efficiently utilize?and further develop our engineering talents after they have recieved advanced training in Taiwan.
Whv do Chinese students want to go abroad and stay abroadf To bBsure 7salaries are higher abroad;but thls does not necessarily mean that life is more comfortable or
IIleaIIlngf111.As a matter of fact7most cflintse residing abroad嘻
including those who are eminently successfui3would l athar
research seminars; (c) To pu日ish technica‘ reports; and
(d) To publish technical papεrs 1立 recogniled journals.
IV. REMARKS:
1.Research Direction: Tbis could initially be provided by
ITU professors. I think the lack of research direction and ideas is at the present more serious than the
lack of teaching personnεl
2. Research Load: Some Senior Members and Members
may also teach at the Institute, but their teaching
load shall not be more than one coms巴 )er semester.
No one shall carry a regular outside job at the sa;ne
time even on' a p:nt-time basis
3.Salary Scale; Senior Members at the Re;;earch
Labor-atories shall be persom. with demonstrated research ability. These shall be positions of prestige arid carry a salary of at least US$100 a month(A number of graduate students from Taiwan havendicated that thev would prefer a US$100 a month researchjob in
Taiwan to a US$l， OOO 往 month job in 1.\S.).
4. Source of Financial Support: The fol1o¥.ing are
poss-ibi1ities:
(a) Chinese Government一- I have no idea how much
money can be mad己 availablefrom tli 古巴ource; but
the present practice of sending stJdents abroad
yearly at the Government's eXT:ense '.vithout
particular purpose or overall pia 1Iling is like
presEmting our" best talents yearly 10 other
coun-tries as national gifts
(b) United Nations 一- I.'a~~ of the present lTU
project money can probably be div吋ted for this
purpose. Certainly this,pr.~pos3l) ~oul d. be included
r;";u'r future requests to the Unit巴( Nations.The
yearly salaTy and travel expenseE provided for
~~~h-'foreign-profe3sor would be enough to employ
over a dozen Members and Senior Members for
a year.
(c) Foundations---Asia Foundation, China Founbation,
Ford Foundation
,
Sloan Foundation,
CarnegieFou-ndatio日， and the like.
Cd) Contract Sponsors---As the Research Laboratories gain reputation through publications in foreign
journals, there is a possibility to obtain contracts
from U.S. defense research organizations.
(e) Alumini-一-1 an sUre that many of our alumini in
the U. S, would be willing to subscribe to the
support of theResearch Laboratories on a conti-nuing basis.
5. Ph. .D. program: A possibility in the future Laboratories grow in stature.
Many of the points in the above proposal could
doubt-lessly be improved on. It also may not be the only solution
possible. It has been suggested that manufacturing facilities
for electronic components, devices, and systems be
establi-shed. This would be a good undertaking, but it would
involve more serious problems in equipment, raw material,
,manufacturing skill, marketing, and financing.
Manufactur-ing without ressarch or at least development work does not offer enough challenge to people with postgraduate degrees.
