Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Decline and Revival of Public Interest in College Education: An Address Delivered Before the Graduates of Oberlin College, June 20th, 1893 1. There has been such a decline, recently followed by a revival. This is shown by statistics. 2. The decline and revival are incidental to the larger tendency toward centralization. II. What is being done, and what can be done, to check the decline? What has caused the revival? How can the general public and the masses be inspired with fresh confidence in the colleges? 1. By fuller instruction in the history and causes of the present popular and public movements, and of popular and public movements in general. That is, by instruction in social science. Sociology embraces the needed studies. 2. By teaching the useful arts. 3. By university extension work and the university settlement. III. These branches and forms of work are valuable, not merely for their influence upon public interest. They are necessary parts of the best education, and necessary to the preservation of our institutions. The philanthropic purpose in which the colleges were founded is best sub-served to-day by such instruction and work.
