Synopsis "John Stuart Mill and the Idea of the University. Including a New Edition of J.S. Mill's Inaugural Address"

A new edition of John Stuart Mill's 'Inaugural Address' as Rector of the University of St Andrews, delivered in 1867, paired with an expanded version of a lecture by Helen Small, 'The Liberal University and Its Enemies', delivered at St Andrews to mark the 150th Anniversary of the Inaugural Address.

John Stuart Mill's Inaugural Address as Rector of the University of St Andrews, delivered in 1867, is one of the great statements of the principles that should underpin a liberal higher education. This volume makes Mill's ambition for the university freshly available at a critical juncture in thinking about what higher education is for: its underpinning principles, its scope, and its social purposes.

A new edition of Mill's text is paired with an expanded version of a lecture by Helen Small, 'The Liberal University and Its Enemies', delivered at St Andrews to mark the 150th Anniversary of the Inaugural Address. The lecture examines the intellectual, ethical, and aesthetic basis of Mill's idea of the university, making the case for his relevance today amid significant cultural, economic, and political pressures on the university.

This book is a key contribution to debate about what universities are for. It grapples with the question of what universities should teach, how much they should teach, and why they should be broad in their coverage. The text contains:

-a new edition of the Inaugural Address, with detailed notes and bibliography
-a reconstruction of Mill's original audience, showing why his encouragement to 'keep, at all risks, your minds open' struck a chord with students, professors, and a wider public
-Helen Small's 'The Liberal University and Its Enemies'
