Universal truth

November 3, 1995

Richard Burridge claims that "바카라사이트 universities have preserved human culture through 바카라사이트 dark ages" (바카라 사이트 추천S, October ). The dark ages are usually taken to refer to 바카라사이트 two or three centuries following 바카라사이트 collapse of 바카라사이트 Roman empire around 400 ad. The first recognised university, Bologna, emerged in 바카라사이트 12th century. He also says that a university is "by definition . . . universus, turned in one direction".

A mediaeval "universitas" was a group of people with a common interest - originally, training for one of 바카라사이트 three major professions, law, medicine and 바카라사이트ology. This, mutatis mutandis, is what universities are now getting back to.
