The Idea of a University [is an] eloquent defense of a liberal education which is perhaps the most timeless of all [Newmans] books and certainly the one most intellectually accessible to readers of every religious faith and of none. . . . [O]nly one who has read The Idea of a University in its entirety, especially the nine discourses, can hope to understand why its reputation is so high: why the first reading of this book has been called an epoch in the life of a college man; why Walter Pater thought it the perfect handling of a theory; why the historian G. M. Young has ranked it with Aristotles Ethics among the most valuable of all works on the aim of Education; or why Sir Arthur QuillerCouch told his students at Cambridge that of all the books written in these hundred years there is perhaps none you can more profitably thumb and ponder. from the introduction by Martin J. Svaglic
