Edward H. Levi served the University of Chicago for most of his
professional life, as a professor, dean of the law school, provost,
and eventually president. Gathered here are fourteen talks he
delivered between 1963 and 1969 that include such topics as the
role of the university; the purposes of undergraduate and liberal
education, professional training, and graduate research; the
relations between the university and its surroundings; and the
causes of student unrest. Throughout these talks, the reader will
find expressions of Levi's essential belief that "the university
must stand for reason and for persuasion by reasoning."
