Book excerpt: Excerpt from History, Its Place in a Liberal Education Address Grote proposes in his History of Greece to set forth, "Hellenic phenomena as illustrative of Hellenic mind and character;" - to exhibit a general picture, the points of resemblance as well as of contrast with modern society, and the action of the social system. Sir James Stephens, viewing history "as a drama of which retribution is the law, opinion the chief agent, and the improvement and ultimate happiness of our race, the appointed though remote catastrophe," asserts that, "to trace out the progress of public opinion in moulding the character and condition of the nations is the highest office of History." Taine would read as in a mirror, the laws of historical development in individual manifestations; and these again in the unconscious out-cropping of literary endeavor. Michelet epigrammatically says: "Thierry called history narrative; and M. Guizot, analysis. I have named it resurrection, and it will retain the name." With one it is fact and individual man; with another, philosophy; the third strives by force of imagination to summon into life the image of the perished. To these three views of History, or their combinations, all writing or study of History must in the main conform; and yet to my mind they do not convey an exact, clear, and full conception of the idea we seek. You will pardon me therefore it I attempt a definition, which I shall then endeavor to verify: History is mails true record of whatever is general, important, and ascertained, in the living past of humanity. In order to measure the value of this definition let us first consider the widest possible meaning that can be attached to the term, the utmost reach and range of the realm of History. There is a record of the past of Humanity, an unblotted Book over whose register Truth keeps an eternal watch. Here are written all past deeds of men, all thoughts, all aspirations; the plans, the labors, the fruitions of the generations; the birth, education, struggles, and extinction of individuals dynasties, and races; all the past; yes, all, all, all. Here are sex down the secret forces that resulted in the Maelstrom of Barbarian invasion; or the more occult laws that guided prehistoric migrations, Aryan, Semitic, or Turanian. Here too the motive, light as dust in the balance, that turned the scale for good or evil in the characters of memorable or forgotten men, is printed with indelible types.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Liberal Education: An Address Delivered Before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard College, July 22, 1858 The motto of our society, and the avowed objects for which it was instituted, must be my apology for the seeming abruptness of entering, without any prefatory remarks, upon the subject to which I intend to invite your attention. The promotion of a sound literature depends, in a large measure, upon the promotion of a sound education. The natural tastes of a young student are so much modified and so unequally cultivated in the course of his preliminary and collegiate education, that his choice of a special pursuit is frequently deter mined more by his culture than by natural attraction; and his proficiency in the chosen pursuit is also largely affected by the character of his preliminary study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American College in Relation to Liberal Education The University of Rochester had its beginning in a liberal and progressive apprehension of educational needs. It was distinctly seen by its founders that an atmosphere of human activity and social refinement is needed to stimulate intellectual culture and invigorate moral character; and, accordingly, this beautiful and prosperous city, which has since become even more conspicuously a centre of elevating influences, was chosen as its seat. Far enough West to feel the thrill of enterprise and to share in the optimistic hopes of Western life without being subject to its provincialisms; far enough East to enjoy the benefits of our oldest American civilization without being influenced by its archaic customs and colonial traditions - Rochester, on the principal highway between the great lakes and the Atlantic, satisfies all the conditions of an ideal university town. The company of men who have shaped the destinies of this institution was originally formed by the selective power of a common conviction that a great opportunity creates a great obligation; and the corporation has since been recruited from among those who shared in this conviction. The not inconsiderable resources which years of generosity and prudence have accumulated are mainly the continued tokens of the satisfaction and perseverance with which the fathers of the enterprise themselves and their colleagues in munificence have regarded their undertaking.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford After the War A Liberal Education There are two propositions which I wish to make prominent at the outset, for they have ruled the thought which I have given to the subject of this pamphlet: - I. A long history of constitutional development lay behind Oxford when the War came and made the great difference: reformers, with proposals designed to meet the great difference, must, first of all, realise clearly what was the essential characteristic of the life of Oxford throughout the stages of her development in the past, and, realising that characteristic, must see that their reforms are still, in widely altered circumstances, true expressions of it: they must not allow the great difference to break the natural continuity of the traditional life of Oxford; rather, they must use the great difference as an opportunity of maintaining that life in fresh vigour and with enhanced value.

Was not only not manufactured into any kind of cloth, but was much of it disseminated over the country, in the shape of deadly, poisonous rags, we should think there was something wrong in the machinery of that mill.

Moses was the servant of God. He was also the pupil of the Egyptian teachers. He set forth the Ten Commandments, but he knew the laws of men. Moses was in Egypt in order to leave Egypt. He did not fear that pagan learning would unfit him to emancipate a holy people. He may have believed that pagan learning would help him to emancipate a holy people. It is not rash to infer that the education of Moses did aid him in the deliverance and the progress of the nation of Israel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of Liberal Education: The Inaugural Address of John Grier Hibben, President Princeton University In entering formally upon the duties of the high office of President of Princeton University I wish to present in my inaugural address the essential principles of our philosophy of education. We believe that the chief end of an education is the making of a man. It is the process of developing a power within which enables the human being to dominate the instincts and habits of his animal nature, assert himself as a free personality, and direct his life according to the light of reason. While he is a part of the natural world, man belongs also to the world of mind and of spirit. The particular function of education is to give him the power of freedom and to make him sensible of the duties, and worthy the privileges of a person in the midst of a universe of things. Personality, however, is not mechanically formed from without, but must be evoked from within. The appeal of the teacher therefore is constantly directed to the inner spirit of the student, that spirit of life which informs the man and puts him into possession of his powers. The forces which find play in the activities of the mind are like the architectonic principle which is at work in the inner nature of a plant, fashioning it into the form of grace and beauty. Thus with the emancipation of a free spirit at the sources of his being, the man within begins to develop both in power and in promise.
