Description
Edward H. Levi served the University of Chicago for most of his professional life, as a professor, dean of the law school, provost, and eventually president. Gathered here are fourteen talks he delivered between 1963 and 1969 that include such topics as the role of the university, the purposes of undergraduate and liberal education, professional training, and graduate research, the relations between the university and its surroundings, and the causes of student unrest. Throughout these talks, the reader will find expressions of Levi's essential belief that ",the university must stand for reason and for persuasion by reasoning.",
