Grosseteste was the first of the Scholastics to fully understand Aristotle's vision of the dual path of scientific reasoning: generalizing from particular observations into a universal law, and then back again from universal laws to prediction of particulars.
Grosseteste realised that the misrule of Henry III and his unprincipled compact with the papacy largely accounted for the degeneracy of the English hierarchy and the laxity of ecclesiastical discipline.
BishopGrossetesteCollege, a stone's throw away from Lincoln Cathedral, is named after Robert Grossesteste.
The College is to be commended for this and for the strengths which it achieves from the informal means of communication which are made possible within a small, close-knit college community.
Consequently the College would be advised to establish mechanisms whereby key College committees might be required to review, and report on, their effectiveness on a regular basis and thus provide a means by which the College judges the purpose and viability of the number and structure of its committees.
Although the College considers that 'the totality of audit and inspection demands place a disproportionate burden on a small college', the audit team heard from senior staff that the College recognised and accepted this as a natural consequence of its academic portfolio and aspirations.
