Book excerpt: Excerpt from History, Its Place in a Liberal Education Address The teacher will observe his pupil gradually demanding more rigid tests of verity, and fuller proof of what are called the facts of History. He is now ready for the acquirement of Formal His tory; and soon becomes so for that of Scientific History. But there is no period of life or scholarly attainment when he can afford to neglect the vivid and stirring side of the Past, where men and women move and talk and act as they do upon the theatre of actual life.

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 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.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Popular and Liberal Education Education has been the principal business of your lives, and of the lives of those associated with - you in the celebration of your anniversary; education has called us into this sanctua ry of the Muses; the patrons of education have assembled at the summons; and every thing around us is redolent of ed ucation. It seems proper therefore that it should constitute the theme of the discourse I am to deliver. Nor, in the eu tire circle of earthly concerns, vast and multifarious as they are, can another to equal it in importance be selected. In the grandeur and sacredness of its object, the mightiness of its power, and the magnitude of its effects, it is unrivalled and alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Changing and the Permanent in Liberal Education Among the many movements affecting the higher interests of society during recent decades none has been more conspicuous than that which has modified collegiate education. Marked tendencies toward change have made headway, and concession has been more common than opposition. Have we then a "new education?" Have traditional methods and aims been superseded? Do the changes touch what is vital, or are the best values conserved? Is a reaction to be desired, or shall the present trend go on? These are questions to which an intelligent answer can be given, only as we search for elements fixed and variable, and so discover the changing and the permanent in liberal education. It is not a question, of new subjects or new methods of advanced instruction, for education and instruction are not identical. Higher instruction may be quite different from liberal education. Moreover, the term "liberal" does not necessarily mean "bountiful." Plentifulness of subjects does not guarantee liberal training. Higher education, in order to be liberal, must have a distinctive scope, aim, and spirit. Its extent does not make it so, but rather its content and intent. Knowledge sought and used only as equipment for an occupation, a trade, a profession, may be marvelously minute and extensive, but it is not liberal. We must distinguish, as Plato did, those studies which are pursued "not with the view of making any of them a profession, but only as a part of education, and because a private gentleman and a freeman ought to know them." So the "liberal arts" of the mediaeval time were those deemed necessary to freemen, and deficient though they were in range, had high value in developing human capacity. A similar conception determined the type of education which has been known as "collegiate." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Liberal Education: Its Value and Where Best Obtained; Oration Delivered at Des Moines College, Iowa, June 25, 1901 International Law, Buckle's History of Civiliza tion, the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or thousands of other important works. Should we call the man. Liberally educated to whom such writings, in that very essential portion of them, the citation of authorities, are a sealed book? Yet such they are to the reader who knows only the vernacular language. The young man who, while in college, foregoes the advantage of an introduction into the study of languages misses a very essential part of a broad, liberal education. Knowl edge, even if it be only a beginning of knowledge of the languages, acquired in college and pursued after ward in the intervals of life's occupations, will be of the very highest value for the intellectual life. And it is an instrument of culture that should be continu ally kept in use, lest it rust and become useless. In enumerating the college studies that will most largely contribute to a liberal education, I set in the first place study of languages. And I have no hesita tion in ranking as of equal importance with that study the habit and love of reading. Without that habit no man can attain a liberal education; without it I see not how a man can rise above the grade of a shop keeper or a mechanic. The daily occupations of the clerk or merchant or banker take up at the most eight or ten hours of one's day, leaving in every week many, many hours of inoccupation: if there is no fixed habitof reading and study, how will one employ that time profitably? The acquisitions made during the college career are lost, forgotten, and the man has as little part in the intellectual life of the age as has the green grocer. The college, it cannot be too oft repeated, the col lege does not give the liberal education, but only the instruments by which one wins for himself a liberal education. The foundation is laid in the college; the superstructure is raised afterward. The foundation laid in the college should comprise at least these things.

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.
