Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Study of English Literature: Its Scope and Method; An Address Before the Alumni of Brown University, June 15, 1886 The occasion prescribes the theme. We meet as alumni of our college, proud and grateful for her history, loyal to her interests, and confident for her future. We meet also as college men, members of that larger and growing brotherhood of scholars, with the cause of good learning at heart, and scanning eagerly every auspicious sign or boding portent of the literary horizon. Political or social topics, however strenuously they may challenge our attention as citizens or men, have their own occasions. Nor is it enough to meet the demands of this hour that the topic of discussion should be one of a merely general literary importance. The air is full of debate on college matters specifically. The discussion has taken on a wide range: - whether students shall be a self-governing body; whether compulsory attendance on religious exercises shall be maintained; how far his own election shall determine for the student his course of study; how far the old-time general training shall give place to special; how much or how little knowledge of Greek a student may have and yet be in some true and vital sense a liberally educated man. Let us be thankful that these, or similar questions, have roused so persistent inquiry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
