The goal of Universities

The goal of Universities

         

           A university stands for humanism, for tolerence, for reason, for progress, for the adventure of the ideas and for the search of truth. It stands for the onward march of human race towards even higher objectives. If the universities discharge their duty adequately, then it is well with the nation and the people. But if the temple of learning itself become a home of narrow bigotry and petty objectives, how then will the nation prosper or a people grow in stature? 

          A wast responsibility, therfore, rests on our universities and educational institutions and those who guide their destinies. They have to keep their lights burning and must not stray from the right path even when passion convulses the multitude and blinds many amongst those whose duty it is to set an example to others. We are not going to reach our goal through crookedness or flirting with evil in the hope that it may lead to good. The right end can never be fully achieved through wrong means.
