Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great American Universities The unprecedented growth of American universities in recent years and their efforts to conform or to resist con formity with the demands of the times have effected such a transformation it is difficult to get a clear idea of their present condition and relative standing. A list of the larger universities arranged in the order of their size, wealth, scholarly productivity, or other objective criterion has surprises for almost every reader. He finds in the list and near the head of it names of institutions about which he knows little, and probably some of those whose names are most familiar to him are really very different from his conception of them, derived from their history or from early acquaintance. The alumnus who returns for the decennial reunion finds his Alma Mater greatly changed. Usually he is inclined to think that the change has not been altogether for the better in spite of the new buildings and crowds of students. He can, in fact, name the date when his Alma Mater began to decline and to lose the real old college spirit. It was ten years ago, when was gradu ated what is universally conceded by all its members to be the brightest class that ever came forth from its walls.

Was there ever a subject which quickened the pen to livelier movement? Your college colors, your college yell! Did ever other sights and sounds make your pulses leap as they? No, nor are they likely to as long as men strive on field and flood, and campus and class - room bring them shoulder to shoulder. Whatever it is that wraps itself about the Old college and steals into the hearts of her children, it is potent to bring the Oldest grad and the youngest freshman roaring to their feet together when the boys have shown their mettle.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Universities and Scientific Life, in the United States His book is based on observations and impressions which I gathered during a stay of five months in the United States. As a' biologist, I describe the university landscape above all from the scientific and more specially from the biological point of view, but with the design of making the whole of it understood and of setting it into the gen eral framework of contemporary American society. During the second half-year of 1915 - 16, I had the honor of being Exchange Professor at Harvard Univer sity. And my first word here must be to affirm, once more, the very great utility of exchanges of professors between French and American universities. They are among the most efficacious means of helping the two countries to know, esteem and aid one another. The great mass cannot cross the Atlantic; but if the educa tors of youth have done so, they may help to dissipate many prejudices. They are almost bound, it seems to me, not to keep to themselves the experience acquired, however incomplete their Observations may Often be. That is what has determined me to write the following pages. I wish that they may make better known in France an aspect of American democracy, which is not that under which we are most commonly led to look at it, and also that they may emphasize the efforts which the immediate consequences of the war imperiously oblige us to make without delay.

Download or read book English in American Universities Classic Reprint written by William Morton Payne and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English in American Universities The methods employed by our schools in the teaching of English literature have, for some years past, been in a transition stage, exhibiting a strong tendency towards more enlightened ways of dealing with this vastly important subject. The fermentation is of the healthful type, and a fairly clarified product may not unreasonably be expected to result. When Matthew Arnold declared the future of poetry to be immense, he expressed a truth whose full significance may be realized only upon considerable reflection, and the assumption of a broadly philosophical standpoint from which to view the coming conquests of culture. The same idea was expressed, with something of humorous exaggeration, by the author of The New Republic, who attributed to John Stuart Mill the opinion that "when all the greater evils of human life shall have been removed, the human race is to find its chief enjoyment in reading Wordsworth's poetry." To indicate the importance of a due appreciation of literature I hardly need, upon this occasion, to repeat the hackneyed quotations in praise of books, from Richard de Bury to Mr. Ruskin; it may surely be taken for granted that, allowing Arnold's demand on behalf of conduct for a good three-fourths of our life, a considerable share of the remaining fraction may be claimed for literature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Colleges and the American Public The first large edition of this work having been exhausted for several years, a second is now submitted to the American Public, with the addition of several papers on subjects that are nearly related to the topics already discussed. The writer trusts that it will be remembered that not one of the essays in the volume is exhaustive of its theme, and that the suggestions which they contain are expressed very frankly, with the expectation that they will not receive the assent of many who read them. The interests involved, however, are too important to allow the concealment of opinions which concern some of the most important interests of the community.

No book of a kind such as this can make any pretence of being complete. This volume includes the consideration of only a few of the more vital questions. Other questions, quite as vital possibly, I hope to be able to discuss in other volumes. For the American college, like American life or the life of any progressive people, is full of infinite suggestions appealing to thought or to action.

Dr. Burgess in an essay published in '85 on The American University said: I confess that I am unable to divine what is to be ultimately the position of colleges which cannot become universities and will not be gymnasia. It will be largely a waste of capital to maintain them. It is so now. But in spite of this dire prophecy the position of the college is stronger to-day than it was when Dr. Burgess wrote.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American College Course The great names of American literature constitute such a galaxy of excellence as would shine illustrious in the annals of any nation at any period of its history. That they belong to a young nation, in the period of its completest absorption in the work of subduing to itself the untamed resources of an unoccupied continent, is one of the marvels of literature. With scarcely an exception, the character of the men who bore those illustrious names was as exalted as the genius which inspired their writings. Never before in the history of the world were probity of principle and conduct, and graciousness of personal disposition, so completely identified with all that was best and noblest in a nation's literary productivity. The purpose of the present volume is to give to the general reader a complete though necessarily somewhat limited view Of the literary achievement and sustaining personality and character of the authors chosen for con sideration. The method of treatment is intentionally sim ple and elementary. Biographical sketches - in which the requirements only of a popular constituency are had in view - are followed by brief original critical expositions. These again are illustrated by selections from a large number of our standard authors - selections that embody further useful but simple criticism, and also considerable entertaining reminiscent matter.
