在一九九○届研究生毕业典礼上的讲话

你们现在从研究生院毕业了,我来向你们祝贺,并乘此机会说几句话.第一,我想说一下知识分子问题.同志们毕业了,成为硕士、博士,可以说是属于知识分子中的较高的层次.我们习惯上有高级知识分子这样的说法,硕士、博士也许还不能说就是高级知识分子.能否成为高级知识分子,还要靠大家今后的努力.希望你们都力争成为很优秀的高级知识分子.中国现在的知识分子不是多了,而是还太少,高级知识分子尤其太少.党和国家十分重视知识分子在社会主义建设中的作用.最近江泽民同志所做的《爱国主义和我国知识分子的使命》的讲话,既阐释了党的知识分子政策,也说明了当代知识分子所负有的历史使命.党和国家对知识分子抱有热切的企望,并且相信,绝大多数知识分子能够沿着正确的道路成长起来,和广大人民共同担负起社会主义现代化建设的使命.
