Kerry Hart: A community of scholars
The Hollywood perception of the stereotypical scholar paints a picture of the hallowed halls of the university, where the professoriate sits in the proverbial ivy tower and engages in research that contributes to society's vast body of knowledge and wisdom. This perception may have had some validity in the early days of the university, when professors were expounding their knowledge amidst a predominantly illiterate population of the time. There certainly is a history of mystique around the professoriate. But in our modern society with a highly educated and literate constituency, there is no mystery surrounding the acquisition of knowledge. Scholarship is an attribute of everyone who independently investigates and researches problems.
