What is a University's Mandate?

     “The thing being made in a university is humanity…. [W]hat universities … are mandated to make or to help to make is human beings in the fullest sense of those words – not just trained workers or knowledgeable citizens but responsible heirs and members of human culture…. Underlying the idea of a university – the bringing together, the combining into one, of all the disciplines – is the idea that good work and good citizenship are the inevitable by-products of the making of good – that is, fully developed – human beings.”                     Wendell Berry
