Universities have searched for truth over nearly a millennium. Maxwell Bennett recounts the history of this search during three of its most momentous periods in the 13th, 18th, and 20th centuries, which helped fashion the idea of a university.

He concludes with a cautionary assessment of whether universities, given their present level of material support, can reliably continue to protect and advance society.

The Search for Truth offers an insightful exploration of this enduring quest, reflecting on the challenges faced by academic institutions throughout history.
