The primary purpose of the university is the search for knowledge and fundamental understanding in all intellectual disciplines and the transmission of that knowledge and understanding.

It has also been a function of universities to give to young people from a relatively narrow age group (say 17 – 24) an education designed¹ to develop their intellectual capacities, that is the ability to judge evidence critically, to develop independence of mind, the ability to communicate, curiosity, reasoning power² and factual accuracy.
