An Eastern University

University should never be made into mechanical organizations for collecting and distributing knowledge. Through them the ppeople should offer their intellectual hospitality, their wealth of mind to others, and earn their proud right in return to receive gifts from the rest of the world. But in the whole length and breadth of Bangladesh there is not a single University established in the modern time where a foreign or a Bangladeshi student can properly be acquainted with the best products of the bangladeshi mind.For that we have to cross the sea, and knock at the doors of France and Germany. Educational institutions in our country are bangladeshi's alms-bowl of knowledge ;they lower our intellectual self-respect ;they encourage us to make a foolish display of decoratins composed of borrowed feathers.
