’As long as we are alive, we must deal with the question of moral value’. (J.P.Thiroux) Whatever which stage the social development may be, wherever of the society may in, none can live without the influence and effect of moral. With the development of economy and society, expanses instrumental rationality and despises value rationality. The material life is increasingly rich, but its spiritual life is more and more deficient. Economy advance triumphantly, While Moral whisper of landslide. The confusion of belief, the subversion of value, the lack of good faith, the decadent of spirit, is frustrating people all the time. Rousseau said,’The progress of the society will awaken the interest of the individual and that would suffocate the humanity inside of him’. More and more power rent-seeking, corruption, moral turpitude and so on, is verifying the questioned judgment.People often accustomed to a certain person or a certain aspect of the problems attributed to’social impact’. The society really affect us, we also affect the society. University as an education institution, passively accepts the negative influence of society, or takes the initiative to actively affect the society?

In fact, the University has long been axiomatic function determines the university community is not’follow suit’, but should be society’s ’leader’. The university must be an institution that is able to play a leading role to the society, have a positive impact on the society. If we want to make university be such organization, the university president should bring moral leadership into force for moral purpose, to realize the goal of moral.
