The University Man

There are certain attitudes of mind which university people would agree should be the mark of university trained men and these are the imponderables which cause more discussion than the content of individual courses.

The British Grants Committee considered that the university should produce graduates "whose minds are rich informed, unsleeping in the exercise of critical intelligence and imaginatively alive to the human issues underlying the decisions they may be called upton to make."

Newman suggested that in the university "A habit is formed which last through life, of which the attributes are freedom, equitableness, calmness, moderation and wisdom"—high ideals Indeed!

I have profound regard for Dosloievski's dictum that "Every one of us is responsible for everything in everyone else" and a true insight into the mean of that succinct summation of many findings in religion, sociology, economics, psychology and philosophy should in my view be one of the general objectives of university education.

The educated man Ideally should not only be highly trained in his profession to serve the community by his skill, hut he should be unprejudiced in his approach to problems, cultured in his tastes, critical in his demand for quality, excellence and generous in his sympathy and service to his community.
