Bartlett Giamatti was one of the voices that most clearly articulated the role of the university in the modern world. In twentyfour essays here, Mr. Giamatti explores the relationship of the university to government, industry, and the private sector. He defines the essence of liberal education, rooted in freedom, dedicated to learning for its own sake.
