- Description: In the intellectual tradition which we have inherited in South Africa the university as an institution is predated perhaps only by the Catholic Church. From their very beginnings universities have regarded knowledge, advanced knowledge, its preservation, extension and transmission as their very reason for existence. Modernity, if it implies a serious departure from that tradition, cannot be held as a virtue in a university. A modern university is therefore one that exists in modern times, is in tune with the intellectual needs of those times, and which adapts, without imperilling, its centuries-old outlook towards knowledge. A modern university, most emphatically, is not one which cuts itself off from its age-old intellectual roots. An institution which does so is not a modern university it in fact ceases to be a university at all.
