An Address (Classic Reprint): Delivered on the Opening of the New Engineering Buildings of the University of Edinburgh 16th October, 1906 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Hook line: A timely meditation on university progress, science, and the role of knowledge in society.
Delivered in Edinburgh in 1906, this address frames the opening of new engineering buildings as a turning point for higher education. It contrasts the old dominance of the classics with the rise of modern, practical study in science, technology, and applied disciplines. The speaker stitches together reflections on medieval universities, the influence of Italy, and the evolving mission of universities in America and Britain to argue for freedom, diversity, and a broader intellectual horizon.
Across vivid examples and quotes, the discourse champions science as the engine of progress while preserving respect for tradition. It surveys Curricula, funding, and institutional structures, and argues that universities must adapt to new knowledge without losing sight of their broader public duties. The result is a thoughtful call to readers interested in the history of education, science, and the shaping of modern universities.
- Explains how science and practical study began to outrank purely classical learning in leading universities.
- contrasts the aims of modern universities with older traditions, including Holy See influences and clerical authority.
- Discusses how American and British institutions can balance freedom with unity in service to society.
- Highlights the promise and imagination sparked by new scientific discoveries and their impact on education.
Ideal for readers of educational history, science in society, and the evolution of universities.
