Humboldt did not think that a university was either a machine for producing professional persons or for tuning out scientific knowledge. He thought that fundamental to both of these was the cultivation of the ideal of the pursuit of truth and the ordering of life around that pursuit. This project represents this condition literally, the ordering of this pursuit and living within this pursuit, and in this newfound literalness purges the institution from its state of conflict and compromise by means of material, circulatory and living immersion.
