"The Idea of a University Defined and Illustrated" by John Henry Newman is a deep look into what makes a university education truly valuable. Set in the 1800s, it argues that universities should do more than just teach facts; they should help students grow into thoughtful and ethical people. Newman focuses on the importance of well-rounded knowledge, especially for Catholics who haven't always had equal access to education. He believes that religion, specifically Catholic theology, is essential to a university because it helps students understand the world in a complete way. His writing makes the case that a real university brings together all types of knowledge, including religious understanding, to educate the whole person.
