Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address: University Extension Movement But every single phrase in that definition will want careful explanation. And first, that phrase, "University education." I think it is quite possible that if some of you go out into the streets and try to get adherents among your neighbors for this movement, and talk of "University education" for the whole people, they may find that this idea is not very attractive. I am quite sure of this: That if twenty years ago in England we had announced University education for the masses, we should have seemed to have been advocating a somewhat impracticable thing, very much as if we had proposed a means of promoting a late hour for dinner. People would have said, "Dining late may be very well for people of a certain class; it suits them; but the people in general could not manage it, and if they could, they would not gain much by it." If we had announced University education for the whole nation twenty years ago, that would have been the sort of reception our message would have met with in very many quarters. To guard against any misapprehension of that kind, let me begin by saying what may astonish some of you, and for aught I know may shock some of you - that University education, as I understand it, has nothing to do with universities. I mean that University education has no necessary connection with universities. I am happy to say that, as a matter of fact. University extension in England has had a great deal to do with the universities. The old "fossilized universities" of Cambridge and Oxford placed themselves at the very head of this movement called "University Extension:" - I do not say that they rose to the needs of the people, they rather went about rousing the nation to the necessity of that which afterwards they were ready to supply. But though that is true, yet I consider it is also true that University education, and therefore University Extension, has no necessary connection with the particular institutions called universities. As a matter of fact, one of the three great branches of the movement in England is not managed by a university - the branch which provides for the great wants of the vast area of London; this is directed by an association, which simply goes to the different universities for lecturers, just as you go to a grocery store to provide your household.
