Drew G. Faust, president of Harvard University since 2007, has delivered a number of addresses on the mission of the university in society. We bring to light four of her key ideas: that the task of the university involves past, present and future; that contemplation and deep inquiry are intrinsic to the university; that it contributes to future well-being through careful study and advice; and that higher education is oriented towards lifelong learning, which not only includes the vocational training of students. Faust has also shown that the university lives in tension, so we suggest that university administrators should find the golden mean of it. We then focus on the similarities and differences with regard to social demands and undergraduate education, respectively, between Faust and Honduran regulations. Translations to Spanish are ours.
