Although?!

Hi.

May I rephrase:

"Academic institutions, therefore, useful as they are, are not adequate guardians of the interests of civilization in a world where everyone outside their walls is too busy for unutilitarian pursuits."

as

"Academic institutions, therefore, although useful, are not adequate guardians of the interests of civilization in a world where everyone outside their walls is too busy for unutilitarian pursuits."
