Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Mediaeval and the True Modern Spirit in Education: A Thesis on Education, With a Truisms, Commentaries and Suggestions on the Princeton Curriculum, by a Loyal and Grateful Alumnus, Twenty-Five Years After Graduation Written at a distance and some time after severing direct connection with the University these observations may gain in perspective while they may lose in exact reflection of present conditions. Wholly impersonal, they represent the result of years of experience, also of questioning students in different colleges, especially those of Princeton, Columbia, Yale, and Harvard universities. They purposely omit all reference to questions of moral and physical education. In course of comment on education as it is at Princeton an original attempt is made to develop a fundamental theory of education which it is hoped may be of some service. This paper is therefore partly critical partly constructive. Let us love the Alma Mater, but not blindly. It is the part of loyalty to an institution to recognize its defects and its merits, not to publish abroad, but to discuss them in the inner circle of friends, who may differ as to means but are absolutely united as to the end to be attained. This, all would agree, is to keep Princeton to the front in religion, letters, science and the service of the State.
