Culture, scholarship, and education a dilemma for the mass university

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  13 July 2009

Abstract

There are many ideas of what that medieval institution, the university, should be in the age of the mass university. It should be an institution combining teaching and research and should aim to produce a mature, cultured individual. Attempts to make it into an institution simply for giving technical training aimed at the contemporary labour market are misguided.
