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.

Download or read book Liberal Education and the Idea of the University written by Karim Dharamsi and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of the university and the idea of liberal education share a family resemblance. However, it is not always explicitly clear what they have in common and what differentiates them. This collection brings together arguments and reflections on the nature of the university and the place of liberal learning in the 21st century. It is divided into two parts. In the first part authors examine the values and ideals that shape our understanding of liberal learning and the university; in the second part authors consider pedagogies informing our practices, asking after what underlying presuppositions, when made explicit, guide our liberal education classrooms in higher education. Unique in its approaches, this volume includes defenses of liberal education’s intrinsic value, the commodification of some of its best ideals, as well as utilitarian defenses that challenge some orthodox conceptions of liberal learning and its justifications. Each in its own right understands liberal learning as essential to the defense of a democratic order. On the pedagogical side, included are essays that defend a view of liberal education from the vantage of STEM subjects, including architecture, as well as those we typically associate with the liberal arts. This volume will aid academics and students seeking to better grasp an understanding of liberal education, but also those seeking to advance their pedagogical ideas about liberal learning. Researchers and students in education, higher education and those interested in the liberal arts and sciences will find this volume a useful addition to their collection.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American College What It Is and What It May Become The ideal college is neither the ideal school nor the ideal university. The school has for its aim the conveying of certain elemental facts to the mind of the pupil. The university has for its aim either the discovery of truth or the giving of professional training. The school is concerned with the student; the university with truth and the relations of truth, or with the training for a vocation. The ideal college stands midway between the school and the university. It is concerned, like the school, with the student. It seeks to enlarge and to enrich his character, but its method and the power which it uses in this enlargement and enrichment lie less in the conveying of elemental facts, than in the interpretation and application of truth. If the college uses truth and its relations as a force, the university, on the other side, uses truth and its relations as ends in themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CNN host and best-selling author Fareed Zakaria argues for a renewed commitment to the world’s most valuable educational tradition. The liberal arts are under attack. The governors of Florida, Texas, and North Carolina have all pledged that they will not spend taxpayer money subsidizing the liberal arts, and they seem to have an unlikely ally in President Obama. While at a General Electric plant in early 2014, Obama remarked, "I promise you, folks can make a lot more, potentially, with skilled manufacturing or the trades than they might with an art history degree." These messages are hitting home: majors like English and history, once very popular and highly respected, are in steep decline. "I get it," writes Fareed Zakaria, recalling the atmosphere in India where he grew up, which was even more obsessed with getting a skills-based education. However, the CNN host and best-selling author explains why this widely held view is mistaken and shortsighted. Zakaria eloquently expounds on the virtues of a liberal arts education—how to write clearly, how to express yourself convincingly, and how to think analytically. He turns our leaders' vocational argument on its head. American routine manufacturing jobs continue to get automated or outsourced, and specific vocational knowledge is often outdated within a few years. Engineering is a great profession, but key value-added skills you will also need are creativity, lateral thinking, design, communication, storytelling, and, more than anything, the ability to continually learn and enjoy learning—precisely the gifts of a liberal education. Zakaria argues that technology is transforming education, opening up access to the best courses and classes in a vast variety of subjects for millions around the world. We are at the dawn of the greatest expansion of the idea of a liberal education in human history.

Download or read book The Politics of Liberal Education written by Darryl Gless and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controversy over what role “the great books” should play in college curricula and questions about who defines “the literary canon” are at the forefront of debates in higher education. The Politics of Liberal Education enters this discussion with a sophisticated defense of educational reform in response to attacks by academic traditionalists. The authors here—themselves distinguished scholars and educators—share the belief that American schools, colleges, and universities can do a far better job of educating the nation’s increasingly diverse population and that the liberal arts must play a central role in providing students with the resources they need to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world. Within this area of consensus, however, the contributors display a wide range of approaches, illuminating the issues from the perspectives of their particular disciplines—classics, education, English, history, and philosophy, among others—and their individual experiences as teachers. Among the topics they discuss are canon-formation in the ancient world, the idea of a “common culture,” and the educational implications of such social movements as feminism, technological changes including computers and television, and intellectual developments such as “theory.” Readers interested in the controversies over American education will find this volume an informed alternative to sensationalized treatments of these issues.

Book excerpt: 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.
