事件发生在零八年的二月二十一日早晨,Bill Gates "farewell tour"在我们大学的HH里开场,引用事件的原文

 

"700 lucky ticket holders will see Microsoft founder Bill Gates when he comes to the University of Waterloo to speak next Thursday on his "farewell tour."  The University has set aside 200 tickets for high school students, and the rest will go mostly to the university's own students.  Those unable to secure tickets will be able to watch the event at a separate venue, on a live screen broadcast.  The event may also be streamed on the school's website.  uWaterloo is the only Canadian university included in Gates' tour of 5 North American campuses."

 

其他四所大学包括Stanford University, University of Chicago, Carnegie Mellon and University of Texas at Austin.

 

这一时刻,或许每一个滑大学子多多少少会感到兴奋,激动和自豪.因为作为北美电脑工业界的第一宠儿,引用盖茨在2005年10月对uWaterloo的访问中的一句原话:"Most years, we hire more students out of Waterloo than any university in the world, typically 50 or even more."如今当他要退居二线的时候,他的再次光临,也验证了微软对滑铁卢大学学生的重视和需求.

 

当google在我们大学旁边特地设立研究所的时候,当Maple软件在世界500强企业发挥巨大作用的时候,盖茨的再次到来也是对我们的一种激励和欣赏
