With clarifications of the Western theoretical origins and motivations for the emergence of the Shuyuan College in China,this study discusses the construction model and functional orientations of the Shuyuan College within modern Chinese universities.This study argues that the construction model of the Shuyuan College in modern Chinese universities is externally diversified but imitative isomorphic at its core;that the training has multiple orientations,yet the core positioning remains vague;that the colleges are under the administration of dual systems,and thus challenging to collaborate between dif-ferent institutions;that the colleges lie in the tensions between Confucian vs.Western culture as well as professional vs.general culture;and that the curriculum lacks an overall top-level design.Building upon these insights,this study explores the practical dilemmas and challenges related to spiritual con-notation,organizational structure,endogenous motivation,and social recognition.Through an in-depth analysis of the theory and practice of the Shuyuan College of modern universities in China,this study aims to provide implications to enhance services for talented college students.
