You could travel wherever your fancy took you and stumble upon kings and courts, soldiers, churches (some with little schools attached), towns, merchants, farmers, in fact, all manner of things- but no universities. Then, in a very short period of time and in different places - Paris, Bologna, Oxford- and no one knows quite how or why, the university appeared; chaotically, anarchically, without any grand plan or design, with its subsequent organisation by authorities merely tidying up a pre-existent emergent order (see Knowles 1962). | Type of material: | Book Chapter | Publisher: | Glasnevin Publishing | Copyright (published version): | 2012 Brendan Walsh | Keywords: | Institution; Education; Governance | Other versions: | http://www.glasnevinpublishing.com/books/degrees-of-nonsense | Language: | en | Status of Item: | Not peer reviewed | Is part of: | Brendan Walsh (ed.).
