Oh deary me.  Yes, that is all a mess.  I do think I've managed to
completely confuse a shorter work by Mill with Newman's "The Idea of a
University".  Yes, I know that's a doozy of a mix-up.  I'm pretty sure
what I have in mind is Mill, but looking around a bit just now, I can't
pinpoint it.  It is something I read at least twenty years ago, but I
hadn't realized how badly my memory had mangled it.  I plead Engineer
brain.  I'll keep trying to find the Mill essay I had in mind.
