Abstract

On this occasion should recall St. Augustine, who said, if you ask me if I know what it is, I know, if you ask me to explain it, I can not explain it. All we define ourselves as academics, but behind this term conceals many centuries of history from the Middle Ages came the university. This article performs a reflection about it.
