Liberal and Vocational Studies in the College (Classic Reprint) by Henry Waldgrave Stuart Pdf

Excerpt from Liberal and Vocational Studies in the College 1. It is seldom that an important question is finally settled in the terms of its original statement. After much argument a new issue, unsuspected on either side, begins to show itself, cutting across the earlier dividing line. The conclusion reached, perhaps after a series of such changes, may make much of the debate seem meaningless; and all parties in interest may rejoice that neither of the original contentions was able to prevail. As argument proceeds, each side, whether it will admit it or not, ordinarily grows less eager to convince the other of what is beginning to appear a short-sighted distortion of the truth. It is said that no one is ever convinced by argument. But it need not be the sole function of argument to convince. It is better to be enlightened and to enlighten than to convince or be convinced. In these trite reflections, I have in mind the controversy, so rife not many years since, as to the value of the natural sciences as compared with classical and other literary studies. We all remember the main lines of the argument. On the part of the traditional collegiate curriculum it was argued that the proper study of mankind was man. Education, in its ultimate meaning, consists not in factual knowledge but in standards of taste, of judgment and of conduct. To these, saints, philosophers and artists have given supreme expression. As for the world of Nature, it has been the office of poets, metaphysicians and prophets to divine, in each age, the vital significance of what the sciences have had to tell. Plato, Lucretius, Dante, Milton, Tennyson and Stevenson gave the interpretative comment in terms of life upon successive scientific conceptions of the cosmos. And for the generality of thoughtful persons, who wish to see life steadily and see it whole, the comment is more to be desired than the text, the distilled significance more precious than the crude materials. A landscape must be surveyed from a mountain top - not from the tangled thickets about the base or from a hole in the ground. A young instructor in English once had occasion to express to me his disesteem of a professor of chemistry.

Correlation of Vocational and Liberal Education Through English (Classic Reprint) by Mary Belle Hooton Pdf

Excerpt from Correlation of Vocational and Liberal Education Through English Up to about 1876, then, there was scarcely to be found, in the United States, any definite, well-organized system of secondary instruction in the mother - tongue. We were virtually in the same condition that England now is, and at least fifty years behind Germany. The Americans have always been a reading people, and there was a growing interest among scholars and laymen in the English language and in English literature. But only here and there had this penetrated into the secondary school system. (7) It was not long after the beginning Of the nineteenth century, however, before the elements which make up our curriculum in English came into existence. Declamation and oratory, best typified in lectures given at Harvard College in 1806 - 1808; instruction in Rhetoric and Composition as given in several American Colleges during the middle of the century; and English Literature as given in a meager way about 1875 were introduced and then developed with great rapidity. But what do we mean by literature? One literary critic with considerable insight has said. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The American College in Relation to Liberal Education (Classic Reprint) by David Jayne Hill Pdf

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.

The Liberal College (Classic Reprint) by Alex Meiklejohn Pdf

Excerpt from The Liberal College The editor's justification of the title is that it indicates accurately, as it does, the subject-matter of the book. The writer, however, would have preferred another title. He would have chosen the name Making Minds, and that largely because it invites misunderstanding. I am sure the editor will reward the willing submission of the writer by allowing him to use a few words in the Preface to indicate the notion which he would have liked to express. The book itself is a collection of papers and addresses dealing with the liberal college. From cover to cover it expresses the conviction that liberal study enriches and strengthens the lives of individual men and of groups of men. It is based upon the belief that for a man and for his fellows it is well that he have a good mind, if possible an excellent or even a distinguished mind.

Vocational Studies for College Entrance (Classic Reprint) by Cheesman A. Herrick Pdf

Excerpt from Vocational Studies for College Entrance Progress in dealing with college entrance requirements for a hundred years should be to the student of education a cure for pessimism. Down to 1807 the standard requirements were Latin, Greek, and arithmetic, but in that year geography was added to the list, and later English grammar, algebra, geometry, and ancient history were included. The teaching of astronomy in college and school led to a recognition of this subject and finally in the first half of the period a general treatise on the physical and chemical sciences under the title of natural philosophy was also accepted.ll Marked interest in the study Of the natural sciences and the modem languages in the third quarter of the nineteenth century led to a recognition of these subjects as deserving a place in the studies for college admission.

Introduction to Vocational Education by David Spence Hill Pdf

Excerpt from Introduction to Vocational Education: A Statement of Facts and Principles Related to the Vocational Aspects of Education Below College Grade One may safely predict that vocational training in some form will occupy a larger place in American education in the future than it has occupied in the past; but among teachers as well as laymen there is a lack of agreement regarding the scope, character, and value of vocational education. One reads articles on this subject in general and professional magazines and listens to addresses at educational meetings, and he is confused by the different claims which are made and the varying points of view which are presented. Some declare that we should train boys and girls specifically for definite occupations which they will enter the moment they leave school, while others oppose this view and hold that our training should concern only the general sciences or principles or skills upon which all occupations depend. Some advocate that vocational and general education should be rigidly distinguished the one from the other, while many persons protest that such a separation would undermine American democratic institutions. Again, one frequently hears devotees of vocational education say that a pupil will receive better discipline of mind and character in working with tools and shaping materials to definite purposes than he will in studying the so-called cultural subjects such as history, literature, foreign language, mathematics, and the like. But this proposition is vehemently denied by one group of teachers and educational theorists in particular, who maintain that vocational education is commercial and materialistic, that it restricts the pupil's vision, and that it fails to give him an understanding of human nature or interest in or sympathy with his fellows.

Rescuing Socrates by Roosevelt Montas Pdf

A Dominican-born academic tells the story of how the Great Books transformed his life—and why they have the power to speak to people of all backgrounds What is the value of a liberal education? Traditionally characterized by a rigorous engagement with the classics of Western thought and literature, this approach to education is all but extinct in American universities, replaced by flexible distribution requirements and ever-narrower academic specialization. Many academics attack the very idea of a Western canon as chauvinistic, while the general public increasingly doubts the value of the humanities. In Rescuing Socrates, Dominican-born American academic Roosevelt Montás tells the story of how a liberal education transformed his life, and offers an intimate account of the relevance of the Great Books today, especially to members of historically marginalized communities. Montás emigrated from the Dominican Republic to Queens, New York, when he was twelve and encountered the Western classics as an undergraduate in Columbia University’s renowned Core Curriculum, one of America’s last remaining Great Books programs. The experience changed his life and determined his career—he went on to earn a PhD in English and comparative literature, serve as director of Columbia’s Center for the Core Curriculum, and start a Great Books program for low-income high school students who aspire to be the first in their families to attend college. Weaving together memoir and literary reflection, Rescuing Socrates describes how four authors—Plato, Augustine, Freud, and Gandhi—had a profound impact on Montás’s life. In doing so, the book drives home what it’s like to experience a liberal education—and why it can still remake lives.

College Achievement and Vocational Efficiency (Classic Reprint) by Bessie Lee Gambrill Pdf

Excerpt from College Achievement and Vocational Efficiency Aside from the sheer interest of the question, it is a matter Of no slight importance to know whether or not the attainment of high grades in college is prophetic Of equally great achievement in life. If college is a preparation for life, the student who is most successful in measuring up to its standards should, in the long run, be the most successful in meeting the tests of life. This thesis has been generally accepted by college officials, who have been greatly interested in prov ing that a positive and close relationship does exist between under graduate standing and success after graduation. Indeed, the meas urement of the relationship in question is the one scientific way of testing the results of college education.
