A Liberal Education: Its Value and Where Best Obtained is a stirring address that argues for a small college as the best path to well-rounded, durable learning. It invites readers to see a liberal education as a rightful heritage for every young person and a force for character, citizenship, and practical preparation.
This edition makes a clear case for Des Moines College as a model of that ideal. It explains how a close-knit college can combine classic learning with modern awareness, preparing students to read well, think clearly, and serve their communities with purpose.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes a deep dive into the concept of a liberal education, exploring its importance and its changing nature throughout history. The author argues that a truly liberal education goes beyond simply accumulating knowledge; it cultivates the intellectual and moral character of the individual, preparing them for responsible citizenship and a fulfilling life. The book then delves into the specific role of the small college in providing this type of education, contrasting its intimate learning environment and personal attention with the often impersonal, research-focused nature of large universities. The author emphasizes the importance of a well-rounded education, one that balances intellectual rigor with moral development, a concept that resonates with the values of the small college model. Ultimately, the book presents a compelling argument for the enduring value of a liberal education, and how its principles can continue to shape individuals and societies.
