Adding base to an acid in titrations

Why do we always add a base to an acid when doing titrations? im fairly sure my teacher mentioned this and he explained it, i just cant for the life of me remember what he said. i asked a class mate and he's telling me that its because the glass flask is made of silicon oxide which is acidic, if we put the abse in the flask it will react with the glass but i find this hard to beleive, can anyone clarify please?
