The British system adopted the German model and adapted it to the feature of university’s professor. The English institutions provided the idea and expertise for diverse establishments which all together were adapted to serve a variety of purposes and to answer the needs of distinct classes of society (Oxford and Cambridge, where the gentleman was educated). The “pyramid of prestige” of the British structure system, according to A. H. Halsey would be reproduced by other countries for their own systems, such as in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The United States, with its generalist educational teaching systems, differed greatly from the German model, but derived from it the idea that a complete university could only exist when is dedicated to post grad education and research.
