This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Graduate School of Geography, Vol. 6 With this awakening in America of a greater interest in geography, it seemed to be most appropriate that this country should hear from the dean of American geographers as to what his ideal would be for the promotion of this field of study in American universities. The accompanying address was delivered to an audience of about twelve hundred people; but it is our desire that it may be read by a much larger num ber, that it may reach all those who are especially interested in this field of study and that they may retain these words from Professor Davis in their private libraries. For this reason we have arranged for the publication and distribution of this address. We feel certain it will inspire all in the geo graphical profession to higher ideals and greater activity, and we also trust that it may convince many with administrative responsibility of the greater significance of geographical research and education in this country.

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.

This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from True and False Standards of Graduate Work Let us turn at once to the graduate work and con fine our attention to the other section of the field of liberal studies. Professional and technical studies may in a sense he depended on to take care of them selves. They will always ourish so long as men are seeking to be educated in order to make a profitable living. But graduate work in liberal studies cannot be maintained on this basis, because the end aimed at is different. For if the pursuit of wealth or station is the end aimed at by a man who thinks he is giving himself to the life of a scholar, he is not aiming at a scholarly end. Consequently, in order to maintain its own standards, a true graduate school in the lib eral arts and sciences must depend on something else to sustain it. The moment it becomes an employ ment bureau or an agency for finding places, a sordid motive enters, and it is in danger of ceasing to be a school devoted to the cause of truth and knowl edge. Unless, therefore, the life of the scholar is to appeal to men not primarily as a means of livelihood, but because they cannot help following the scholar's life, we have no sutficient basis for justifying the maintenance of this all-important school. And if this school perishes or becomes degraded, you may be very sure that sooner or later every valuable func tion of the university will be injured. I suppose we can all accept heartily the state ment that the chief business of a university is tomaintain standards, - to determine, inspect, and certify the intellectual and moral weights and measures. I do not doubt we can go farther and agree in asserting that this maintenance of intellectual and moral stand ards is acutely needed in our own nation at this time when its material interests are becoming so vast and complex. And this, more than all else, is the pecul iar and pressing duty of every graduate school in liberal studies. Here the higher teachers of the na tion are being trained. Here the in uences which make for truth and reason are or, at least, ought to be most pure and uncontaminated. The service to be rendered is priceless, the need is urgent, and the fact that our graduate schools in liberal studies, pro perly planned and guided, are specially fitted to render this service is the fact which justifies their existence.

After three years of residential work in American graduate schools and the contacts he had with many of his fellow students, the writer asked himself the question: To what extent are the problems arising from the adjustments which the Chinese students have to make in American institutions similar and to what extent different from his own, and, how are they attempt ing to solve them!

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.

It recognizes a definite responsibility to clarify and evaluate those beliefs upon which modern civilization depends, and it seeks to examine them fearlessly and constructively. In accordance with the emphasis which the University places upon the study of American thought, it accepts the obligation to investigate and formulate the spiritual values essential to a sound national life.

This allusion to incidents which have no material bear ing on the inquiry may tolerantly be allowed, as going to account for a sparing use of local information and, it is hoped, to extenuate a degree of reserve and reticence touching divers intimate details of executive policy.
