'I think one mistake people often make about medieval universities when they think about them, is that they think that they were actually always these free spaces of inquiry, that actually they were peaceful environments in which students learned for the sake of learning or whatever. But actually, what you find when you dig into the history of the medieval university is there's an enormous amount of conflict, controversy. As I say, there's great violence, people are burnt at the stake as a result of things that they said in a university or in a context or as a result of university masters ruling against them.'

'I think the well-designed core curriculum is a statement of what the institution thinks about the world. It's a statement about whom do we want our graduates to be regardless of what individual choices they will make and what trajectory choices they are attracted to. '

'I think what the humanities does by reading things like Aristotle and Plato is it fills that experience gap. We’re not really talking about anything new here. Human relationships are complicated, yes, but as a society I don’t think we’ve invented anything new, humans are what humans are, and that’s that. But by reading I’m being exposed to the elements that the humanities embrace, whether it’s philosophy, whether it’s arts and culture, it all speaks to the products of human behavior. That helps our guys fill in that experience box, so when they go into the real world – huh, where did I see this before? Where was this talked about before? How can I interpret this situation? They have a sheet of music to work from.'

'Your average study day will probably start at something like 5 am: you might be getting up with a candle, it's very early. That's because ordinary lectures begin very early in the day, and these are called ordinary, but really they're the special lectures. These are the ones that count, these are the top professors, the top masters lecturing on the most important texts. Later on in the day you have the extraordinary lectures which actually despite their name are actually more cursory, more peripheral lectures, and these might be on texts that are important but not central to your study.'
