The Rise of Universities: Brown University, the Colver Lectures, 1923

Charles Homer Haskins

The republication of Charles Homer Haskins’ The Rise of Universities is cause for celebration among historians of higher education and among medievalists of all disciplines…Haskins’ argument is a powerful one: that today’s university system is a direct (and immediate) descendent of the collections of scholars who gathered around master teachers in the great cities of Europe during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries…[His] thesis was profound for its time and remains the guiding interpretation of medieval universities. – Library Quarterly
