What is the best title #or this te t?

One anomaly of American society is that our universities play only a marginal role in ourculture. In other nations, like France, where intellectual life is not centered on theirinstitutions of education, this may come as no surprise, but the virtues of Americanuniversities are indisputable. Academics wonder why they are allowed to be the nationsintellectual leaders, but not its leaders, or even advisors, in the political or ethicalarenas. Some are angry at the mainstream society, thinking it apostate one who hasabandoned one!s religious faith, a political party, one!s principles, or a cause", as thoughthey were priests of some outworn creed, but this alienation, which has developed intandem with the evolution of academia, did not come because the society re#ected theuniversity as a social or moral authority, but rather because the university ran out of theenergy it took to function in this role. $his occurred, at least partially, because those ofus in college found that the values we shared were not strong enough to unite us.
