Summary/Abstract: Education belongs among the most important means for the development of human intellectual potential. Whether formal or informal, education has always played an important role both in the life of the individual and in the life of the community. In the paper before us, the author discusses some of the basic principles of educational theory of the English thinker J. H. Newman. The first chapter of the paper discusses man seen as a being of development who needs certain means to help him reach his intellectual excellence. Among these means education holds a primary position. The second chapter brings Newman’s attitude towards the utilitarian concept of university education, and the third chapter deals with the influence of the university on the moral formation of the individual.
