A套范文：
In this age of rapid technological development, in order to be the most advanced and successful, universities must keep their facilities and resources to date. This not only attracts more students, but also attracts renowned professors to the university.
Students now more than ever are demanding that universities provide the very latest in academics. To receive the most advanced education, advanced facilities are required. A student majoring in science cannot obtain an accredited level of experience if his university does not have the proper laboratory facilities. Likewise, a liberal arts student is equally as dependent on a current library. Progress is the main purpose of institutions of higher education. A university that does not seek to improve its facilities will fail in improving its students.
A university that does not invest in its facilities will not only fail to produce good students, but will also fail to attract famous professors. Universities are able to attract professors because they can offer them good facilities with state-of-the-art technology so that these professors can conduct successful research and remain at the top of their respective fields. For example, a famous biology professor would think it a waste of time to teach at a university that does not at least have an electron microscope. With the proper facilities, universities can easily attract the best teachers in the world.
There may be some university facilities, like gymnasiums, that on the outside do not have any direct connection to the success of the university’s academics. However athletics is great way to draw attention to a university. When universities get attention, they also get funding. Private donors are the main way that universities can afford to upgrade their facilities. Therefore, the more attention a university gives to its facilities, the more potential donors it will attract. This is why so many universities in American lay such great importance on their sports teams and their sports facilities.
Universities should make updating their facilities a top priority. Having world-renown professors is important for the success and prestige of a university; however without advanced facilities, a university will not be able to attract these professors. Without advanced facilities a university will also not be able to attract many good students or even donors to help further improve the university.
