Synopsis
Newman's ideas on the university were contrary to the increasingly prevailing spirit of the utilitarianism in his time. He expressed many of the ideas detailed in this book during the period leading up to the establishment of Dublin University, where he served as the first president.

Industry Reviews
"...Newman's ideas and the persuasive eloquence of his rhetoric have had and continue to have an extraordinary presence in discussions of what a university should aspire to be, though the centrality of theology is quietly bypassed in favor of some vaguely secular unifying principle....The thrust of Newman's rhetoric carries us toward the integrated curriculum of the UNIversity. The thrust of history has carried us inexorably toward the MULTIversity."
Boston Book Review - Don Gifford
"[This edition] arrives with a useful introduction and five substantial essays taking up some of the book's major ideas and their contemporary relevance: Editor Frank M. Truner, for example writes on 'Newman's University and Ours' while other scholars discuss Newman in his own day and 'Newman and the Idea of an Electronic University.'"
