When Madariaga managed to avoid arrogance, he remained an author of considerable interest. \u201cThe University\u201d was one of the essays recovered by Destino to mark the death of the dictator\u2014thus making this slender volume a kind of letter to the immediate future, a bridge between pre-war cultural life and the looming transition.<\/p>\n<p>The former Republican Minister of Public Instruction wrote: \u201cThe organisation of Spanish higher education has become a topic of public debate since the official announcement of plans to establish three new universities. Yet the issue is perennially relevant, for <strong>the university is the brain of the nation<\/strong>: where the university does not govern, the brain does not govern\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Madariaga recalled having once received a letter from a communist reader who described the university as \u201ca nest of parasites\u201d. In order to refute that characterisation, he set himself the task of rethinking a model for academic development.<\/p>\n<p>The first conclusion he reached was that the university is far more than a teaching institution: it is also a centre of scientific speculation and research. Here he finds himself closely aligned with <strong>Ortega y Gasset<\/strong>, whose 1930 essay <em>The Mission of the University<\/em> had already argued that institutions of teaching and of research ought to share a common institutional framework, though not necessarily the same buildings or personnel. Madariaga put it thus: \u201cThe type of intelligence\u2014and even temperament\u2014required for teaching is quite distinct from that which research demands. I had, in Paris, two of Europe\u2019s most eminent scientific minds as professors\u2014<strong>Henri Poincar\u00e9 and Henri Becquerel<\/strong>\u2014and they were terrible lecturers. Yet I still recall a professor of higher algebra and another of geometry who have not entered the annals of mathematics, but who were brilliant as teachers\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The essay then shifts course, sketching a university model based on territorial principles. In other words, for Madariaga, the reorganisation of Spanish universities was above all a matter of regional policy. Midway through the piece, he writes: \u201cToday we find ourselves in a thoroughly bureaucratic and mechanical regime\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He was not mistaken. Indeed, current tendencies in European funding <strong>increasingly separate research staff from teaching faculties<\/strong>, while bureaucratisation has reached unimaginable proportions. What Madariaga was contemplating, in essence, was the articulation of Spain\u2019s stateless nations through the university\u2014in other words, an early vision of autonomism grounded in academic structures. And all this in 1975! At a time when the liberal ideas set out by the Ortega of <em>Invertebrate Spain<\/em> (1922) were soon to lend a gloss to the emerging Autonomous State\u2014through memories, surviving voices, and bridge figures like <strong>Juli\u00e1n Mar\u00edas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Madariaga envisioned the Spanish state as a complex mechanism of interaction between centre and periphery: a state in which sovereignty, as Ortega insisted, remained with the centre, yet one where the periphery served as a continual spur to administrative activation. The new universities would be of two orders: national (<strong>Madrid, Salamanca, and Barcelona<\/strong>), and regional\u2014guarantors of internal diversity and pluralism, smaller in scale yet essential as mechanisms for territorial cohesion and national development.<\/p>\n<p>Madariaga was a champion of a diverse Spain, though we should be under no illusions: his framework remained broadly <em>menendezpelayano<\/em> in character. It entailed a form of liberalism that had evolved, one attuned to the complexities of the twentieth century, yet he never entertained any serious federalist proposal. He simply observed that both homogenising centralism and separatism were \u201cnonsense\u201d. His moderate vision, as we have said, was the one that ultimately prevailed. The finest quality of his work lies in its cosmopolitan ease\u2014a sound conservative instinct that managed to counterbalance the unreality of certain anti-Francoist oppositions and rise above the palaeotechnocratic mindset of the Francoist leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Madariaga concluded his reflections on what a university ought to be with the following remark: \u201cThere are two extremes to avoid: living in the rarefied air of abstraction or turning into a public square\u201d. This he grasped perfectly. Without a certain sense of elitism\u2014understood as cultural and scientific elevation unmoored from social privilege\u2014the nation could not be filled with serious study. Yet with too much elitism, one risked drifting into irrelevance. The university, then, had to function as a complex timepiece, in which the various fields of inquiry might freely contaminate one another. It had to remain sufficiently insulated from the world to produce fundamental science and speculative knowledge, but also capable of returning this knowledge to society in the form of material and ethical improvement. All of this, however, without descending into populism or surrendering to contemporary utilitarianism. Madariaga understood this well\u2014he had, after all, taught at Oxford.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Source:\u00a0<strong>educational EVIDENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rights:\u00a0<strong>Creative Commons<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1975, the publishing house Destino brought out a collection of political essays by the veteran liberal writer, professor, and diplomat Salvador de Madariaga under the title A la orilla del r\u00edo de los sucesos.
