concerns grew, shifting the goal of education into turning girls into good mothers and boys
into good warriors. Boys were grouped into small, age-dependent classes to learn discipline,
obedience, and loyalty to Sparta. Meanwhile, in Athens, artistic and moral concerns formed
the majority of the curriculum. Different disciplines, such as writing, poetry, and physical
education, were taught in different classrooms by different masters. Higher education took
place in institutions such as Plato’s Academy and Aristotle’s Lyceum.

What we today call a university did not evolve until the Middle Ages. The University of
Bologna was founded in the 11th Century to teach law. The University of Paris, followed by
the University of Oxford, came into being in the 12th Century. These institutions were made
up of colleges and even maintained residence halls for their students. The University of Paris
had a two-semester system, final examinations, and courses that consisted of lectures, reading
texts, and discussions – a model many universities still follow today.

Both lower and higher education were steeped in religious tradition through both the
Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation. It was not until the late 17th Century that sci-
entific methods and inquiries began to replace religious traditions at the University level.
Today, universities are well known for carrying out scientific research as well as being
hotbeds of social change.

The educational process has long been concerned with giving students the knowledge they
need to become successful members of society. Educated persons have not only learned but
lived by the rules and customs of their civilisation. As a result, they are far less likely to be
swayed by foreign ideas that conflict with their own. Thus, missionaries and evangelists from
rival nations will find it impossible to convert people in the presence of a local University.

Healing, at first, was a matter for spiritual leaders and sacred sites.

Early hospitals were really places where a patient might receive divine
help. In Greece and elsewhere, for example, a ritual known as incubation was used in which
illness was said to be cured by sleeping in a holy place. Bathing in curative waters was also
thought to be beneficial and this practice may have been the origin of modern health spas.
Later Greek doctors – Hippocrates being the most famous – were instrumental in pushing the
science of medicine forward. Roman hospitals, based largely on Greek medicine, were first
established around 100 BC to treat injured and ill soldiers.

The rise of Christianity helped to transform hospitals into the care facilities familiar today.
In the 6th Century AD, the Hôtel-Dieu of Lyon opened. It had a large hall lined with beds
and emphasised treating the patient, not just the ailment. Monastic infirmaries in Europe and
elsewhere cared for monks and outsiders alike. At the end of the Middle Ages, civil authori-
ties increasingly began to take on the responsibilities of healthcare. By the turn of the 16th
