Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from University Extension: An Address Delivered Before the Wisconsin Teachers´ Association, at Madison, December 29, 1890 The part universities have played in the intellectual development of the people has not been constant throughout their history, and the place they now occupy is not altogether that which they are destined to fill. In the later mediæval ages, when the means of learning were limited, the universities of Europe were great intellectual centers to which there flocked thousands of students, embracing not merely youth but men of all ages and conditions. It is estimated that there gathered at Bologna, in the climax of its prosperity, as many as 10,000 students. They came from all parts of Europe; were possessed of all grades of attainments; remained at the University for various periods, and returned bearing exceedingly varying degrees of learning. Those were the days in which the universities were broadly open and were beneficent to adults to the fullest extent of the limited possibilities of the period. But there came a time of sifting, a time of putting up of bars, followed by a period of exclusiveness, and ultimately of monasticism. The universities began to close their doors to all except those who possessed certain qualifications. It was not enough that there be a desire for learning; there must be the requisite preparation to receive it in the way and form provided. The English universities became segregated into colleges with rigid curricula and sharp limitations. They grew into exclusive communities in other than the intellectual sense.
