--JOHN HENRY NEWMAN FROM “THE IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY.”

•	 The primary purpose of a University is intellectual and pedagogical, not moral or religious.

"The view taken of a University in these Discourses is the following. -- That it is a place of teaching universal knowledge.  This implies that its object is, on the one hand, intellectual, not moral; and, on the other, that it is the diffusion and extension of knowledge rather than the advancement.  If its object were scientific and philosophical discovery, I do not see why a University should have students; if religious training, I do not see how it can be the seat of literature and science."--
