A History of the University in Europe

Autorentext
Walter Ruegg is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Berne, Switzerland.

Klappentext
By focusing on the freedom of scientific research, teaching and study, the medieval university structure was modernized and enabled discoveries to become a professional, bureaucratically-regulated activity of the university. This opened the way for the victorious march of the natural sciences, and led to student movements--resulting in the university being ultimately cast in the role of a citadel of political struggle in a world-wide fight for freedom.
