Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Utility of a Liberal Education in Every-Day Life: A Paper Read at Berkeley, Cal;, Feb; 8, 1882 In the "Antiquary " - one of the Waverly Novels - the following bit of dialogue occurs: "I am glad to see you sir - I am very glad to see you. My poor gentleman is, I am afraid, very unwell; and O, Mr. Oldbuck, he´ll see neither doctor, nor minister, nor writer! And think what it would be, if, as poor Mr. Hadoway used to say, a man was to die without advice of the three learned faculties." "Greatly better than with them," grumbled the cynical Antiquary. "I tell you, Mrs. Hadoway, the clergy live by our sins, the medical faculty by our diseases, and the law gentry by our misfortunes." The time of the story was the latter part of the eighteenth century. The scene, the southeastern portion of Scotland. If we step back four hundred years and join the merry band of pilgrims on their way to Canterbury, and listen as Chaucer introduces them to us, we shall ¿nd even there, representatives of the "three learned faculties." "With us there was a doctour of phisike, In all this world me was ther non him like To speke of phisike, and of surgerie: For he was grounded in astronomie." "A good man ther was of religioun, That was a poure persone of a toun: But rich he was of holy thought and werk." "A sergeant of the lawe ware and wise, That often hadde yben at the paruis, Ther was also, ful riche of excellence." If we select an intermediate period and examine the regius professorships of Henry VIII at Oxford, we ¿nd that they were Divinity, Civil Law, Medicine, Hebrew and Greek.
