Much of our writing re?ects a long-term commitment to the analysis
of the col- gial tradition in higher education. This commitment is
re?ected most strongly in Oxford and the Decline of the Collegiate
Tradition (2000), which we are pleased to say will re-appear as a
considerably revised second edition (Oxford, The Collegiate
University: Con?ict, Consensus and Continuity) to be published by
Springer in the near future. To some extent this volume, The
Collegial Tradition in the Age of Mass Higher Education, is a
reaction to the charge that our work has been too narrowly focussed
upon the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge (Oxbridge). Not
surpr- ingly, you would expect us to reject that critique, while
responding constructively to it. The focus may be narrow, and
although the relative presence and, more arguably, the in?uence of
Oxford and Cambridge may have declined in English higher e- cation,
they remain important national universities. Moreover, as the
plethora of so-called world-class higher education league tables
would have us believe, they also have a powerful international
status. This, however, is essentially a defensive response
dependent upon the alleged reputations of the two universities.
This book is intent on making a more substantial argument. To
examine the c- legial tradition in higher education means much more
than presenting a nostalgic look at the past.
