This volume asks searching questions about the basis of the British higher education system, defending the traditional idea of what a university should be. The author asks whether the ethos of the university has been subverted with the emphasis on useful skills and whether the idea of what a university is should come from David Blunkett, Chris Smith, and Ron Dearing, or from J.H. Newman, Jane Austin, and Socrates.
