| Abstract: | The author takes a broad look at the history and the developing functions of higher education, specifically universities, in the West in order to estimate the degree to which the historical link between teaching and research will continue to characterize universities. She is persuaded that the pressures arising from massification, on the one hand, and the increasing volume of applied research, on the other hand, will lead to increased separation of the teaching and research functions, even in the historically research‐oriented universities. |
