Excerpt from A Liberal Education: With an Appendix Containing a List of Five Hundred Best Books
It is the fashion with the heads of our colleges and universities to seek to attract students by set ting forth the pecuniary advantages to be gained by what is called a liberal education. They maintain that four or more years spent in acquiring the best systematic education possible are not only no loss from a pecuniary point of view, but a positive gain rather, since the rapidity of subse quent advancement will more than make up for the apparent waste of time.
Thoroughly convinced as I am of the advantages of a liberal education, no matter how or where obtained, I am fully persuaded that the position above referred to can not be sustained. I am con fident if a young man's highest ambition is to get rich, he does not need even the systematic educa tion to be got by passing through a good High School.
