Abstract: This book explores the development of the collegial tradition within the context of mass higher education. Although the collegial tradition has been determined above all by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, in its various forms it has found sustenance in many different systems and institutions of higher education. Most critical are the integral values and practices that shape both institutional governance and the pursuit of teaching, learning and research.
