Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Municipal University So declares President Charles W. Dabney, of the University of Cincinnati, the leading city university of the world. His words are approved by many of the prominent educators of America. Dr. J. McKeen Cattell, of Columbia University, expresses the belief that this "will probably be the most important movement of higher education in the next generation"; while the U. S. Commissioner of Education, P. P. Claxton, looking into the near future, prophesies: Probably within a quarter of a century most cities of 200,000 or over and some even smaller, will have such institutions at the head of their system of education, organizing all other agencies, directing their energies and inspiring the people to strive for higher and better things. Perhaps the first intimation, even to many educators of rank, of the genuine importance of this new effort in popular education, came with the announcement in November, 1914, that a meeting of presidents of city colleges and universities had been held at Washington, and an Association of Urban Universities formed. Then for the first time many a college professor began really to understand what it means to vitalize education. For the municipal university is destined to become the social and economic dynamo of vast concentrated masses of our population. It has been recognized for a long time that the city is in need of scientific construction and reconstruction, and that this requires intelligent, responsible, skillful leadership; but this open recognition of the university´s duty to the general city public is a thing of the last three decades.
