Excerpt from College Reform
The Virginia Military Institute was established by the State of Virginia in 1839. It was the first attempt to introduce a complete military organiza tion into a State College. The success which has attended the experiment has directed public atten tion to the system of discipline and instruction here introduced, with a View to a reform of the college system, as it has existed in some of the oldest institutions of our country.
It has been impossible for the undersigned, amid engrossing public duties, to do justice in a single letter to his views on this important subject. His replies to the many inquiries which have been ad dressed to him have necessarily been imperfect.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth analysis of the weaknesses of the college system of education in the United States. The author first describes the current system and then offers a series of reforms to correct its defects. The author sees the college experience through the lens of preparing for professional life and argues that the present system is out of touch with the needs of students. They contend that focusing the curriculum almost entirely on the learned professions, to the exclusion of practical studies, does not serve the majority of students who do not go on to become doctors, lawyers, or ministers. In the author's view, a college education should provide general, practical knowledge that can be applied in a variety of fields and expanded upon as students progress in their careers. This book is an insightful critique of the current system of higher education in the United States. 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 9781331134039_0
