While-reading activities Nicholas Murray Butler (Apr. 2, 1862-Dec. 7,1947), an educator and university president. He was an adviser to seven presidents and friend of statesmen; recipient of decorations from fifteen foreign governments. He was called Nicholas Miraculous Butler by his good friend Theodore Roosevelt（西奥多·罗斯福西奥多·罗斯福 ）. He was named president of Columbia University in 1902, retaining that position until retirement in October, 1945. Under his leadership Columbia grew from a provincial college into a university of world renown. As a young man Butler strongly criticized the pedagogical（教学法） methods of his time. In later years , however, he criticized pedagogical reform itself, steadfastly defending the “great tradition” of humanism in education and lashing out against such contemporary trends as vocationalism（强调职业教育的主张） in education and behaviorism in psychology as the “new barbarism（原始风尚）”. Butler was a champion of international understanding, helping to establish the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace（卡内内基争取国际和平奖励基金会）, of which he was a trustee（理事） and later president (1925-1945). He was awarded Nobel Prize for Peace in 1931. When Butler became almost totally blind in 1945 at the age of eighty-three, he resigned the demanding posts he still held. He died two years later.
