...university is not immune." So does Shils. His list is a small and cautious one, though. Universities, he feels, are obliged to offer access to higher education for all who qualify, to provide training in those professions that have an intellectual component (such as law and medicine), to make expert advice available to Government decision makers, and to staff Government research projects that do not threaten to exhaust the university's stock of traditional intellectual capital...
