The Benefits Which Society Derives From Universities

In this seminal address, Gilman cogently argues that universities play a vital role in society, not only in educating the next generation of leaders and thinkers but also in promoting research and innovation that benefit the common good. Through examples drawn from his extensive experience as an educator and administrator, Gilman makes a compelling case for the indispensability of the university to the health and vitality of society as a whole.
