Summary: | In 1964-67 some thirty seminaries were reorganized into five theological colleges. In the context of Wilhelm von Humboldt's ideals in Germany and John Henry Newman's 'Idea of a University,' the initiators made a deliberate choice in favor of colleges in the tradition of the 19th-20th-century German and Dutch 'Bildungsuniversität,' and against the purely job-oriented "professional schools." Two examples are given - the Amsterdam Catholic Theological College and the Utrecht Catholic College, both called universities since 1986 - of different interpretations of this idea: one along the lines of Newman and Ortega y Gasset, aiming at a broad "liberal education," and a "German" interpretation, which favors a combination of fundamental teaching and scientific inquiry. |
