Hello, I read this article by John Masefield "A University Stands and Shines". The very last sentence says "...the air by which we breathe, the Free Enquiry by which we hope to endure, and the Art by which we shall be remembered..." What does "the Free Enquiry" refer to here?

Thank you!

the freedom to explore the world scientifically or artistically, or possibly to question authority, all without interference from others  (provided these activities don't harm others, of course).

Thank you CalifJim. I thought it stands for some specific meaning since the two words are capitalized. Thank you for your note.
