Academic Reform And University Representation (1860)

By James Heywood

Book Overview

Academic Reform and University Representation is a book written by James Heywood and originally published in 1860. The book discusses the need for academic reform in universities and proposes a system of university representation to achieve this goal. Heywood argues that universities should be more responsive to the needs of society and that a representative system would help to ensure that the interests of all stakeholders are taken into account. The book also discusses the role of universities in society, the importance of academic freedom, and the need for greater transparency in university governance. Heywood's ideas were influential in shaping the debate around academic reform in the 19th century and continue to be relevant today. This edition of the book includes a new introduction by a modern scholar, providing context and analysis for Heywood's ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
