Synopsis
This book collects speeches and orations from a University Principal regarding the function of universities and of the humanities, within the context of a world war. The author emphasizes that in a time of crisis, a university and its scholars are tasked with providing leadership, serving the community, and maintaining the pursuit of truth and knowledge. The author reminds readers that universities are not places of mere learning and accumulation of information, but rather centers for intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth, offering a holistic education rather than strictly narrow vocational training. Within the broader context of history, this work highlights the perennial tensions between academic and practical pursuits, and explores the essential role that education plays in the development of the human spirit, individual fulfillment, and communal welfare.
