A Measure of Depth
Phase
The real measure of a college or university, according to
Jacques Barzun, former Provost of Columbia University, is:
1) Study. "[I]t took so long to develop the republic
of learning in which study was the sole aim and test of the institution."
2) Thinking. "The principle here is: think tank,
not assembly line."
3) Discussing. "[T]he faculty was the university..."
4) Learning. "The outcome to be aimed at is an
institution instead of a machine, a company of scholars instead of a
corporation with employees and customers."
