With an astonishing wealth of research, \u003ci\u003eAcademic Charisma and the Origins of the Research University\u003c\/i\u003e investigates the origins and evolving fixtures of academic life: the lecture catalogue, the library catalog, the grading system, the conduct of oral and written exams, the roles of conversation and the writing of research papers in seminars, the writing and oral defense of the doctoral dissertation, the ethos of \"lecturing with applause\" and \"publish or perish,\" and the role of reviews and rumor.
