Extract

It is usual for historians investigating the impact of the work of great scholars of the past to stress the importance of their years spent at university in influencing the development of their mature opinions. Frequently, however, such historians are not fully aware of conditions prevailing inside universities and so unable to provide a proper assessment of the role of academic factors in moulding the formation of a scholar’s personality and prejudices.
