Universities have searched for truth over nearly a millennium. Maxwell Bennett recounts the history of this search during three of its most momentous periods in the 13th, 18th and 20th centuries, which helped fashion the idea of a university. He concludes with a cautionary assessment of whether universities, given their present level of material support, can reliably continue to protect and advance society.
