Government pressure was coupled with shifting cultural expectations of the university's social role,  while an increasingly lay professorate helped put pressure on the Oblates from within. These twin pressures for removing religious control irked the Oblates, who put up stiff resistance, betraying their reticence to the liberalization of higher education. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the government valued social policy, the Oblates focused on educating individuals. Although the Oblates ultimately lost, history is as relevant as ever, and this book comes at a time when social planning is becoming increasingly prevalent within universities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919015395486,"sku":"ING-9780776629148","price":59.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780776629148.jpg?v=1782802998","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780776629148","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
