Universities and Their Function - Chapter 7.



Throughout this chapter, Alfred held the notion that 'imagination' was the key to University. He truly advocated it's importance to each student and emphasized its significicance.
He states that:


'The task of a university is to weld together imagination and experience.'


Universities preserve the connection between knowledge and the zest of life.”





He believed that a university should impart information,  but impart it in a creative and passionate manner. He points out that: 

A university which fails in this respect has no reason for existence.”   



The way in which a university should function… is by promoting the imaginative consideration of the various general principles underlying that career.”



This is a video that I created to summarise some of Whitehead's Ideas.
