Abstract

Modern American higher education is an outgrowth of the medieval universities. Over the centuries the governance, structure, curricula and quality of education at these institutions of higher learning has changed and shifted in line with the expectations and demands made upon it by students, Pope, governor and society. The modern American university may bear scant resemblance to its medieval counterpart, but its essential quality remains: it is an institution existing for "the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the development of students and the general wellbeing of society.
