Abstract
During the late nineteenth or the early twentieth century, the University was not considered as a major political problem. Today, the situation is different. Universities never have been as numerous, nor have they enrolled as many students, paid as many academics and produced in their laboratories as many significant results for the technical development of nations or the improvement of health conditions. This fantastic growth, and the success it demonstrates, are the main causes of the present difficulties.
