Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines England's Oxford and Cambridge institutions as well as the state of education they provide. Its focus is not on the benefits, but the drawbacks and failures of England's academic institutions. The author argues that Oxford and Cambridge Universities have failed to meet the demands of a progressing country both as places for students to pursue professions or speculative study, and for promoting education in the greater community. Oxford and Cambridge are argued by the author to offer a general rather than a specific education, with the latter being offered by contemporary professionals in their respective fields of expertise. As such, the work suggests that one of the true goals of higher education, the fostering and growth of new ideas, is only possible with a revitalization of a professorial system, one which has fallen to the wayside despite efforts to bring it back.
