The Role of Faculty

"A university is a body of mature scholars and scientists, the [faculty], -- with whatever plant and other equipment may incidentally serve as appliances for their work in any given case. The necessary material equipment may under modern conditions be very considerable, as may also the number of care-takers, assistants, etc.; but all that is not the university, but merely its equipment. And the university [faculty member’s] work is the pursuit of knowledge, together with whatever advisory surveillance and guidance he may consistently afford such students as are entering on the career of learning at a point where his outlook and methods of work may be of effect for them. No [faculty member] whose energies are not habitually bent on increasing and proving up the domain of learning belongs legitimately on the university staff. The university [faculty member] is, properly, a student not a schoolmaster. Such is the unmistakable drift of sentiment and professed endeavor, in so far as it is guided by the cultural aspirations of civilized [human]kind rather than by the emulative strategy of individuals seeking their own preferment." Thorstein Veblen, The Higher Learning in America. New York: Augustus M. Kelley 1965 [1918] (written contemporaneously with TBE) p.18.
