WHAT IS A UNIVERSITY ?
It is the place to which a thousand schools make contributions; in which the intellect may safely range and speculate, sure to find its equal in some antagonist activity, and its judge in the tribunal of truth. It is a place where inquiry is pushed forward, discoveries verified and perfected, and rashness rendered innocuous, and error exposed, by the collision of mind with mind, and knowledge with knowledge… It is a seat of wisdom, a light of the world, a minister of the faith, and Alma Mater of the rising generation. It is a place of teaching universal knowledge. This implies that its object is, on the one hand, intellectual, not moral ; and, on the other, that it is the diffusion and extension of knowledge rather than the advancement. John Henry Cardinal Newman |
