Cine a fost
SPIRU HARET?

personalitatea cea mai reformatoare a epocii (nceputul secolului XX) este
Spiru Haret. S-a nascut la 15 februarie 1851, la Iai.

i ia licenta in 1874, la 23 de ani. Se inscrie la concursul de bursa instituit
de Titu Maiorescu; reuete i pleac pentru doi ani la Paris. n 1874 i ia licena n
matematic, iar n august, anul urmtor, n fizic. Doi ani mai trziu, i ia doctoratul tot
la Paris, cu teza Despre invariabilitatea marilor axe ale orbitelor planetare, ducnd mai
departe i corectnd cercetrile lui Laplace, Loius de Lagrange i Denis Poisson asupra
varietii axelor orbitelor planetare. Haret pune n eviden termenii seculari puri i
pentru gradul al treilea,
ceea ce nfia ntr-o
alt lumin stabilitatea
sistemului planetar.
Trziu, n 1976, cu
prilejul mplinirii a 125 de
ani de la naterea sa, un
crater de pe harta Lunii, pe
coordonatele: latitudine 59
de grade sud i longitudine
176 grade vest, n partea
lunar invizibil, a primit
numele lui Haret. Era
primul romn care anuna
valoarea, confirmat mai
apoi, a colii romneti de
matematic. Dar marile
realizri ale lui Haret nu
sunt, totui, n tiin.

COLEGIUL NAIONAL SPIRU HARET a luat
fiin n anul 1913. De atunci i pn n prezent, aceast
coal a fost locul unde s-au format personaliti marcante
ale culturii romne care, prin operele lor, au contribuit la
consolidarea fondului cultural european i internaional. S-i
amintim doar pe civa:

MIRCEA ELIADE absolvent, promoia 1925

PRIMUL ISTORIC AL RELIGIILOR, scriitor de ficiune, filozof. Autor a 30 de volume
tiinifice, opere literare i eseuri filozofice traduse n 18 limbi i a circa 1200 de articole i recenzii
cu o tematic extrem de variat, foarte bine documentate.
Ca istoric al religiilor, Mircea Eliade a pus accentul asupra conceptului de spaiu i timp
sacru, opera sa renumit n lume fiind Tratat de istorie a religiilor.
He was a leading interpreter of religious experience, who established paradigms in religious
studies that persist to this day. His theory that hierophanies form the basis of religion, splitting the
human experience of reality into sacred and profane space and time, has proved influential.

ALEXANDRU CIORNESCU absolvent, promoia 1930

Alexandru Ciornescu a fost diplomat, dramaturg, enciclopedist, eseist,
lingvist, etimolog, istoric, poet, prozator romn care a trit n exil ntre 1946 i 1999.

lungul timpului. n oraul Santa Cruz de Tenerife o strad poart numele Alejandro
Cioranescu n semn de omagiu i recunotin fa de UNUL DINTRE CEI MAI
IMPORTANI ISTORICI I GEOGRAFI AI INSULELOR CANARE.

GRIGORE MOISIL absolvent, promoia 1922

Grigore Moisil a fost un matematician romn, considerat printele informaticii romneti
cu invenia de circuite electronice tristabile.

n anul 1929 i susine teza de doctorat, Mecanica analitic a sistemelor continue, publicat la
editura Gauthier-Villars din Paris i va fi apreciat de savanii Vito Volterra, Tullio Levi-Civita, Paul Lvy.

A avut contribuii remarcabile la dezvoltarea informaticii i la formarea primelor generaii
de informaticieni. A primit Computer Pioneer Award al societii IEEE, n 1996 (post-mortem).

A fost membru al Academiei Romne, al Academiei din Bologna i al Institutului
Internaional de Filozofie.

Bucureti

O echip format din 24 de elevi

i 2 profesori ai Colegiului Naional ,,Spiru
Haret din Bucureti a participat la concursul
naional pentru liceeni EUROSCOLA:
mpreun pentru tinerii Europei o propunere legislativ de succes, ediia a VII-a (2014/

Parlamentul European, n cadrul procedurii legislative ordinare (codecizie).

CERCUL DE
FOTOGRAFIE

CE AM PROPUS?

Echipa CNSHB a propus o Strategie Naional a Romniei pentru Dezvoltare
Regional i Incluziune a tinerilor marginalizai sau cu risc de marginalizare socio-profesional:
Prin tinerii Romniei, pentru tinerii Europei! Strategia vizeaz trei domenii prioritare, astfel:

agricol: strategia propune nfiinarea unor nuclee de dezvoltare regional n acele
zone n care potenialul agricol este uria, dar exploatarea lui este deficitar.

industrial: segmentul industrial va presupune nfiinarea unor I.M.M.-uri, al
cror scop e acela de a recolta i de a prelucra materia prim. De asemenea, strategia prevede
i ncheierea unor contracte att cu marile ntreprinderi de profil care, astfel, vor beneficia
de materie prim de calitate i de provenien intern, ct i cu marii ageni economici din
mediul urban. Este evident c un asemenea demers implic dezvoltarea infrastructurii zonale.

educaional: nfiinarea, n imediata vecintate a I.M.M.-urilor, a unor
internate regionale, care vor funciona att n regim de internat ct i n regim de
semi-internat. Personalul didactic calificat va furniza copiilor servicii educaionale
de nalt calitate. Disciplinele din trunchiul comun vor fi completate cu opionale
ce vizeaz pregtirea socioprofesional necesar pentru
integrarea n cmpul muncii
a tinerilor absolveni. Se vor
ncheia contracte ntre aceste
internate
i
I.M.M.-urile
respective care s asigure
stagii de ucenicie tinerilor,
facilitndu-le astfel integrarea
profesional.

tiai c... la C.N. Spiru Haret exist i un Club European, al crui scop e acela
de a forma, comunica, informa, deschiderea cultural i integrarea valorilor europene
n rndul elevilor., prin activiti ct mai diverse, desfurate n colaborare cu elevi din
alte licee.

Din octombrie, 2012, n
fiecare smbt, la Colegiul Naional
Spiru Haret din Bucureti, se
desfoar edinele Cercului de
fotografie. Ce se ntmpl, mai exact?
Se fotografiaz, se editeaz imagini
n diverse programe, se analizeaz
fotografii. Elevii Cercului de fotografie
au obinut premii la nivel naional n
cadrul concursurilor de profil.

n istorie prin filmele cu mafie, de la Copolla la Scorsese s.a.m.d.. Numele, totui, nu a fost ales nici
datorit regizorilor respectivi, nici datorit interlopilor respectivi. Numele a fost ales pentru c
ceea ce facem noi este, din toate perspectivele, treaba noastr. (David A. Marin, clasa a IX-a H)

1913 - 2015

ROMANIA

Who is

SPIRU HARET?

...the most reformatory personality of the beginning of the XXth

century is Spiru Haret.

He was born on February 15th, in
Iasi. In 1874, at the age of 23, he graduated
the University of Bucharest with a degree
in Physics and Mathematics. After that, he
signs up for a scholarship contest established
by Titu Maiorescu and he wins it and goes
to Paris for two years. In 1974 he gets his

diploma in Mathematics and in August, the

next year, gets his diploma in Physics. Two
years later he gets his PhD with his Sur
linvaribilit des grandes axes des orbites
plantaires thesis, carrying on and correcting
the works of Laplace, Louis de Lagrange and
Denis Poisson on the variability of the axis
of planetary orbits. Haret
emphasizes the secular
perturbation, by using third
degree
approximations,
putting in a completely
different light the stability of
the planetary system.
Much later, in 1976,
after 125 after his birth, a
crater on the Moon map
( 59 S latitude and 176
W longitude), was named
Haret. Thus he became
the first Romanian that
announced the value, and
confirmed it afterwards, of
the Romanian Mathematics
School. But still, the great
realizations of Haret are
not in science. He left his
specialty work, which could
have been so rich, after such
an outstanding beginning,
and put himself in the
service of the evolution of
the social environment in
which he belonged. The
haretian sociology is the
Romanian counterpart of
the sociologic positivism.

Spiru Haret National College came
to life in 1913. Since then and till now this school was the
place were important personalities of Romanian culture
were formed an who, through their creations and works,
participated in supporting the international European
background. Lets remember here only a few of them:

Mircea Eliade: graduated in 1925

the first author of a history of religions, fiction writer, philosopher;
author of 30 scientific works, literature and philosophical essays translated in 18 languages and
approximately 1200 articles and reviews on highly various themes, very well documented.
As a historian of religions, Mircea Eliade emphasized the concept of sacred space and time,
with his world famous book: Patterns in Comparative Religion.
He was a leading interpreter of religious experience who established paradigms in religious
studies that persist to this day. His theory, that hierophany forms the basis of religion, splitting the
human experience of reality into sacred and profane space and time, has proved influential.

Alexandru Cioranescu: graduated in 1930

Romanian diplomat, play writer, encyclopedist, essayist, linguist,
etymologist, historian, poet and writer who lived in exile between 1949 and 1999.
Hes well known in Romania, Spain and France and put his signature on many
works along the time. In the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife a street was given the
name Alejandro Cioranescu, as a tribute and thanksgiving to one of the BIGGEST
HISTORIANS AND GEOGRAPHERS OF the Canary Islands.

Grigore Moisil: graduated in 1922

Romanian mathematician, considered the father of Romanian computer science, with his
tri-stable electronic circuits invention.

In 1929 he presents his PhD thesis, La mcanique analytique des systemes continues,
published at the Gauthier-Villars publishing house in Paris and later appreciated by scientists like Vito
Volterra, Tullio Veta-Civita, Paul Levy.

Had remarkable contributions to computer science and in forming the first generation of
computers; in 1996 (post-mortem), he received the Computer Pioneer Award from the IEEE society.

He was a member of the Romanian Academy, the Bologna Academy and the International
Institution of Philosophy

EUROSCOLA 2015

Spiru Haret
National College of
Bucharest

A team formed of 24 students and
2 teachers of CNSHB participated at the
national students contest EUROSCOLA:
Together for the European Youngsters a
successful legislative proposal, the 7th edition (2014/2015). The students were invited
to simulate activities in adopting a legislative proposal in the European Parliament, in
the context of the ordinary legislative procedure (co - decision).

PHOTOGRAPHY
CLUB

What have we suggested?

The CNSHB(SHNCB) team proposed a Romanian National Strategy for Regional Development of
young people that are marginalized or present a risk of socio - professional marginalization: Through the youngsters of
Romania, for the youngsters of Europe! The strategy targets three main domains:

agricultural: the strategy proposes the establishment of some regional development centres in those
areas in which the agricultural potential is huge, but its exploitation is deficient.

industrial: the industrial segment will involve the establishment of IMMs (MMEs- Micro/ Small
and Medium Enterprises), which have the purpose of collecting and processing the quality of raw materials. Also,
the strategy provides signing contracts both with the corporations of profile which will benefit of high quality and
internal origin raw materials, and with the big economic agents from the urban environment. It is obvious that this
approach requires the development of the zonal infrastructure.

educational: the establishment, in the immediate vicinity of the IMMs (MMEs), of some regional
boarding schools, which will work both in boarding regime and in semi- boarding regime. The qualified teachers
will provide the children high quality educational services. The core curriculum will be completed with optional
courses that have as a target the socio - professional education needed for integration into the workforce of the
young graduates. Contracts will be
signed between these boarding schools
and the IMMs (MMEs) which will assure
apprenticeships for the young people,
making their professional integration
much easier.cmpul muncii a tinerilor

Did you know that at CNSHB (SHNCB) also exists a European Club and whose purpose

is to form, communicate, inform and integrate the European values among students by various activities,
taking place in collaboration with students from other high schools.

Since October 2012, at
Spiru Haret National College from
Bucharest, the meetings of the
photography Club are held each
Saturday. What is happening exactly?
We take photos, we edit images in
different programmes and we analyze
photographs. The students of the
Photography Club got national awards
in the profile contests.

THE COSA NOSTRA

FILM CLUB

Whats making us different from a simple film

club, or from a simple film fans club, is that we dont
necessarily come with just an analytical perspective
over things not even cultural, esthetical or
historical one, over the films we watch, and over the
films we are trying to make. We come with a how
shall I put it, spiritual perspective.

Casa Nostra is directly translated Our Thing Our job, Our work In the end, we
are only trying to give credits to the artists from the world of the cinema that stood out in history
with their mafia movies, from Copolla to Scorsese and so on. Still, the name was not picked because of those directors, or because of those characters. The name was chosen because what we do
is, in the end, just our job. (David A. Marin, IXth grade)

THE MATHEMATICS
CLUB IN SPIRU!

You like maths and you want to understand it better than

you do it in class? great! because, each saturday, at 10:30 am,
professor alexandru constantinescu is coordinating the activities
of the mathematics club.

Did you know that at CNSHB (shncb) IT is organized,
FOR 7 years now, The National Contest Of mathematics Laurentiu Panaitopol, with the support of Bucharest School Inspectorate and the Romanian Mathematical Society? Every edition of
this competiTion targeted two sections: the intercounty contest
and testing the national Olympic team. Students from all over the
country participate and we are proud that this contest, established
at the initiative of professor A. Constantinescu, became a tradition
in our school. More details on www.cnshb.ro

THE SPIRU STUDENTS FROM NATURAL

SCIENCE - TOGETHER WITH THE DOCTORS

ncepnd
din luna

At CNSHB (shncb) appeared, in 2013, the

initiative of keeping a permanent contact between
the medical personnel representatives and the
kids from Spiru that wish to attend the courses
of The Medicine University. They entered our
classrooms to talk with students. tHESE doctors
that came to our high school were specialized in:
Neonatal Neurology (Mr. Catalin Cirstoveanu from
the Pediatric Hospital Marie S. Curie), pneumology
(Dr. Diana Glontescu), general surgery (Dr. Bogdan
Sandolache) etc.

Also, the students from natural sciences who
want to attend the courses of the Medicine University have
the possibility of spending a few hours in a hospital, along
with the doctors. They said it was a unique experience ( you dont have the chance to assist
a splenectomy every day!!)

VLASTARUL MAGAZINE CELEBRATED

ITS 91ST ANNIVERSARY!

The first number of Vlastarul
magazine was published on the 25th of
December 1923. our school magazines
name appeared both in the media and
books. More details can be found here :
revistacnshb.wix.com/vlastarul


Vlastarul magazine was rewarded
with the Laureate title, in the context of the national contest of school
magazines and journalism from Muncel (2014).

The logo of the magazine, which can be seen reproduced on
one side of the coin, was chosen, in 2012, at the initiative of professor
Alexandru Constantinescu who noticed this offspring (ro: vlastar)
that was stylized in miniature on the cover of the volume that
contains numbers from 1929- 1931.

The Saturday book club

Note from the editorial
staff:

I love to read. Since I discovered the middle schools

potential in changing my perspective over life forever or, simply, to
caress my imagination poisoned by television like any other teen

doubt, with a level of energy I dont even reach during the day.
coordinated by teacher Even tough I was excited, I felt somewhat reserved. In my mind, a
Angela Turculet.
book club is something fancy and formal, a group of people doing all
they can to prove the others, and especially themselves, that they are
cultivated and distinguished. Long story short, what I call intelectual wims. But the biggest fears I had
were the ones about the actual activity. I was afraid a book club was nothing else but a place where
someone reads a book for an hour, while the others try, more or less, to understand the message of
book.

On the website (cnshb.ro), I read that famous writers such as Aristotle, Sophocles, Dante,
Shakespeare, Wilde, E.A. Poe, Gogol, Rebreanu, Voiculescu, Bulgakov, Dostoievski, Th. Mann, Hesse,
Coelho, Cartarescu and so on are focused.
Once I was there, I sit on a chair in back among
the other participants and wait. Out of nowhere
someone hands me a bag of crisps and a bottle
of soda (eh, wont say the kind, some may say
its advertising) and Im told to help myself with
some and pass it on. Andit starts! Its not
only that they read devoted books of romanian
or universal literature, but sometimes it
happens that students from other high schools
participate and offered the opportunity to
present their creations.

After the book and author are
presented to us and after we read a part of it, an
amazing thing happens. Ideas start flowing and
opinions too. Not from a book on critics or the
teachers mind, but from the students, everyone
of them coming with an opinion, which binded
with the rest, form what I never thought existed:
a true book club.
