Abstract
A university is basically an organization that conducts research and awards degrees. Simply put a university is a degree awarding institution-bachelors, masters, doctorates etc. But what is a degree? The definition of a degree in the 1965 Oxford Dictionary is “academic rank conferred as guarantee of proficiency”. However, the 2018 Oxford dictionary defines a degree as “the qualification obtained by students who have successfully completed a university or college course”. In the modern definition, the “rank” part has been removed from the definition. Rank evokes gentry/gentlemen/men of high-class etcetera. The rank definition more properly reflects the intention of the original universities.
