Cardinal John Henry Newman On the Scope & Nαture 0/ University EducαMOIlwrit.ten 1852. Preface , University is a place of teaching universal knowledge. This implies that on the one hand intellectual not moral , on the other hand , that it is the diffusion & extension of knowledge rather than the advancement. It cannot fulfil the object duly without the church’s assistance , or to use the theological term the church is necessary for its integrity. … When the church founds a university , she is not cherishing talent genius or knowledge for their own sake but for the sake of her children , with a view to their spiritual welfare & their religious inf1uences and usefulness with the object of mak.ing them more intelligent , capable , active members of society. ‘” What are the ad.vantages of a university ? They are in one word the culture of intellect. Our desiderαtum is the force , the steadiness , the comprehensiveness & the versatility of intellect , the command over our own powers , the instinctive just estimate of things , which sometimes indeed is a natural gift , but commonly is.not gained without much effort and the exercise of years. This is the real cultivation of mind and 1 do not deny that the characteristic ex.cellences of gentlemen are included in it.当时有人批评以为英国大学之目标在一造成一个Gentleman，见 Huber “E吨lish Universities” <英国的大学>， London 1843 ,’ Vol. 11 , Part 1 , pp.321。
