Current assay is motivated by the fast evolution that society has been undergoing during the 20th and 21st centuries and its effects on universities. The being of the university is analyzed from a social, historical and philosophic point of view, coupled to the demands that the 21st century make on higher institutions. Foregrounded on several documents (among which may be mentioned ‘The Magna Carta of European Universities’ and the ‘Salamanca Declaration’, signed by the Rectors of the oldest universities in Spain and South America) and disregarding the differences between public and private universities (common aims should be sought when the aim is the development of peoples), certain principles (given as objectives in the text) are proposed and justified as basic for the satisfactory development of all peoples. A summary of the main aims proposed are provided as a conclusion.
