Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Essentials of Liberal Education: The Inaugural Address of John Grier Hibben, President Princeton University In entering formally upon the duties of the high office of President of Princeton University I wish to present in my inaugural address the essential principles of our philosophy of education. We believe that the chief end of an education is the making of a man. It is the process of developing a power within which enables the human being to dominate the instincts and habits of his animal nature, assert himself as a free personality, and direct his life according to the light of reason. While he is a part of the natural world, man belongs also to the world of mind and of spirit. The particular function of education is to give him the power of freedom and to make him sensible of the duties, and worthy the privileges of a person in the midst of a universe of things. Personality, however, is not mechanically formed from without, but must be evoked from within. The appeal of the teacher therefore is constantly directed to the inner spirit of the student, that spirit of life which informs the man and puts him into possession of his powers. The forces which find play in the activities of the mind are like the architectonic principle which is at work in the inner nature of a plant, fashioning it into the form of grace and beauty. Thus with the emancipation of a free spirit at the sources of his being, the man within begins to develop both in power and in promise.
