The Idea of the University of Chicago.
Murphy, William Michael, Ed.; Bruckner, D. J. R., Ed.
Selected are the excerpts from the presidents' papers that best reflect each person's interpretation of the idea of the University of Chicago. The topical arrangement of the excerpts gives the impression of a discussion and, in the ancient sense, a dramatic argument. While the presidents discuss the strenuous intellectual endeavors of research, learning, and teaching, they are also concerned with the less ideal matters of the character and conduct of faculty, of students, of trustees, with buildings, machines, money, with urban renewal and politics, nuclear reactors, hospitals, and dances. The focus is not only on the communications between the university and the wider community, but also on the services the university performs for its city, for the Midwest, and for the country.
