Throughout his long career, Edward Shils brought a wide knowledge
of academic institutions to discussions about higher education.
"The Calling of Education" features Shils's most incisive writing
on this topic from the last 25 years of his life. The first essay,
"The Academic Ethic," articulates the unique ethical demands of the
academic profession and directs special attention to the
integration of teaching and research. Other pieces, including
Shils's renowned Jefferson lectures, focus on perennial issues in
higher learning: the meaning of academic freedom, the connection
between universities and the state, and the criteria for appointing
individuals to academic positions. Edward Shils understood the
university as a great symphonic conductor comprehends the value of
each instrument and section, both separately and in co-operation.
"The Calling of Education" offers Shils's insightful perspective on
problems that are no less pressing than when he first confronted
them.
