    By MARTIN SAMUELS, MD The History of the Problem  The European University (e.g. Italy, Germany, France, England) descended from the Church. The academic hierarchy, reflected in the regalia, has its roots in organized religion. The American University was a phenocopy of the European University, but the liberal arts college was a unique American contribution, wherein…
