This scholarly work traces the historical transformation of universities and academics from early modern Europe to the rise of the modern research university. Focusing especially on German universities, the book examines how academic practices such as lectures, examinations, dissertations, and publication evolved under the influence of bureaucracy, competition, and changing intellectual ideals, shaping the modern academic profession and research culture.
