University Education in Ireland

The pamphlet assesses how educational reform intersects with Ireland's broader political problems, arguing that resolution of land and church disputes depends partly on reorganizing higher education. It examines proposals to secularize the established college, to institute a national university open to different denominations, and to recognize or create a Roman Catholic university, weighing each option's effects on religious equality, national unity, and political loyalty. The author outlines practical administrative and curricular considerations for each model, discusses likely reactions from different social groups, and urges that educational change be treated as an integral element of any comprehensive solution to the country's public questions.
