Excerpt from The Graduate College of Princeton With Some Reflections on the Humanizing of Learning
"To the Minnow every cranny and pebble, every quality, and accident, of its little native Creek may have become familiar: but does the Minnow understand the Ocean Tides?" Thomas Carlyle.
The Graduate College of Princeton, so long deferred, so lately discussed in public and now at last put into operation, is in spirit and substance an institution for humanizing knowledge in the field of the higher liberal studies.
The old story in Montaigne has point to-day. One fine morning, while riding pleasantly across the plain, he met a company of gentlemen and bowed, saying, "Messieurs, good morning," and the leader of the company curtly answered, "We are not Messieurs. My friend here is a grammarian, and I am a logician." It was no place for Montaigne - merely one of the Messieurs. So he rode away in search of more humane companionship.
It is not a very long look from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century and the pages of Oliver Goldsmith. The lambent wit of his essay on "The Present State of Polite Learning," fit sequel to the tale of Montaigne, plays like a flame, illuminating and scorching the particularist scholars of his time, "the men who contributed to obstruct the progress of wisdom by addicting their readers to one particular sect, or some favorite science. They generally carried on a petty traffic in some little creek; within that they busily plied about, and drove an insignificant trade; but never ventured out into the great ocean of knowledge."

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of graduate education, exploring the need for the humanization of knowledge. Arising from the critique that American scholarship was organized into small, disconnected departments, the author discusses the resulting problems of narrow-mindedness and isolation in scholars. The book proposes a solution to this problem in the form of the new Graduate College of Princeton. Envisioned as a residential college devoted to higher liberal studies, it aims to create a community of scholars and students who can pursue interdisciplinary interests, engage in intellectual exchange, and develop well-rounded views. The book argues that only by fostering such an environment can graduate education fulfill its mission of producing scholars who are not only experts in their fields but also broadly educated and engaged with the world beyond. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330997970_0
