From the front flap: "When world war erupted in 1914, the university had existed in the Western world for nearly 800 years. In all those years, from the founding of the first universities in Bologna and Paris to the twentieth century, these institutions faced no challenges more threatening than those presented by the two world wars.... In this study, Today vividly describes the rule of the university in modern urbanized life, a role that necessarily becomes deeply involved in an interaction with the all-consuming phenomenon of total war.
