I got a question about a sentence from "Liberal Arts for the 21st Century":
Liberal arts is changing faster than ever, but not fast enough to accomodate the increasing pace of history. We cannot make ideas run the gauntlet of centuries before admitting them to academia.
What does the underlined sentence mean? I don't quite understand by "make ideas run the gauntlet of centuries before...."

Thank you very much.
