  "The business of Universities is chasing money. This has not always been the case. From the founding of the "modern" university in the middle of the 19th century until - perhaps - the early-to-mid 1960s, the business of universities was nation-building. Universities were sites not only for the production of not just national-culture (through the promotion of various humanities disciplines), but also of learning to regulate national populations (in the burgeoning social sciences), and for creating nationally-based sciences. Military science and instruction were, historically, a central part of this nation-building enterprise."
