Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oxford at the Cross Roads: A Criticism of the Course of Litterae Humaniores in the University When a man is about to introduce to his family circle a friend found abroad, he can scarcely fail to look at his own circle in the fresh light shed by sympathy with the new friend´s point of view; and he may well discern defects which had before escaped his notice. Perhaps the expected arrival of Rhode´s students may thus affect some teachers at Oxford. But apart from the Rhodes students, there are quite sufficient reasons why we should occasionally examine our ways; and these reasons especially apply to a place where the forces of conservatism, and the power of inertia, are so strong as they are at Oxford. The changes which have taken place abroad in university studies in the last quarter of a century are enormous. As is shown below, France and America have entirely changed their programmes. And at home we have a rising University of London, at present in nebular shape; a new University of Birmingham; there is the Welsh University; and apparently the Victoria University is about to divide itself. In all these the talk is of new schemes of work and fresh developments. Within the last few years Cambridge has recast her whole course of Classical study.
