Excerpt from The Unity of the Sciences: A Lecture Delivered at the Opening of the Winter
Gentlemen, - In taking leave of you last session, I referred at some length to various incidents that had occurred in the course of the session, and to various changes, past and prospective, affecting the welfare and progress of the University. I shall defer any remarks of a similar kind that might now be made till a like period of the session comes round again, believing, as I do, that I can make a better use of the present opportunity of addressing you, by directing your attention to some subject of a more general character, but which, from its relation to your studies, may be supposed to possess some interest for University men. If, in doing so, I tres pass a little longer than some would like on your patience, I trust that, as I have not many oppor tunities of repeating the offence, I may bespeak, on this occasion, your kind indulgence.
In what respect does a University, as a place of education, differ from other and kindred insti tutions? What are its peculiar functions? Or, if we regard the communication of knowledge as the most important of these, what is that special kind of knowledge which it is its office to communicate 7 Wherein does the knowledge it teaches, either in itself or as regards the conditions under which it is taught, differ from knowledge acquired elsewhere - in schools, from individual teachers, from books, by private study?
