A university may exist without having any college connected with it ,
or it may consist of but one college ,
or it may comprise an assemblage of colleges established in any place ,
with professors for instructing students in the sciences and other branches of learning .
In modern usage ,
a university is expected to have both an undergraduate division ,
granting bachelor '
s degrees ,
and a graduate division ,
granting master '
s or doctoral degrees ,
but there are some exceptions .
In addition ,
a modern university typically also supports research by its faculty [
1913 Webster ]
The present universities of Europe were ,
originally ,
the greater part of them ,
ecclesiastical corporations ,
instituted for the education of churchmen . . .
What was taught in the greater part of those universities was suitable to the end of their institutions ,
either theology or something that was merely preparatory to theology . --

Note :
From the Roman words universitas ,
collegium ,
corpus ,
are derived the terms university ,
college ,
and corporation ,
of modern languages ;
and though these words have obtained modified significations in modern times ,
so as to be indifferently applicable to the same things ,
they all agree in retaining the fundamental signification of the terms ,
whatever may have been added to them .
There is now no university ,
college ,
or corporation ,
which is not a juristical person in the sense above explained [
see def .
2 ,
above ];
wherever these words are applied to any association of persons not stamped with this mark ,
it is an abuse of terms .
