Abstract: We summarize the great achievements of Enrico Fermi in his training and instructing students and young research fellows,  with an overview of the features that Fermi educated his students, assistants, and young research fellows. Fermi encouraged all the time those students and young fellows to go ahead, and none of Fermi’s students simply followed Fermi’s old works. Fermi educated students according to individual ability and specialty, found the shining and unique points of each soul, and instructed each to shine in its special and natural way. Fermi’s above style in education provides us with a nice example in training young generations.


Key words: Enrico Fermi, graduate students and young research fellows, training style, education according to individual ability and uniqueness
