University as a total immersive learning environment.
"If I had to choose between a so-called University which dispensed with residence and tutorial supervision and gave its degrees to any person who passed an examination in a wide range of subjects, and a University which merely brought a number of young men together for three or four years… I have no hesitation in giving the preference to the later…“
From "The Idea of a University", Cardinal Newman.
“When a multitude of young menmen, keen, open-hearted… come together and freely mix with each other, they are sure to learn one from another…. “
