A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The four essays which are now gathered into this volume were originally written for different audiences, and have already been published in different magazines. The paper on The Development of the American University was read before the Round Table of Boston, and that on The Place of the Fitting-S chool in American Education before theN ewE ngland Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools. A request from the editors of the Andover Review to reply to the presentation, made by a friend and colleague, of another system of higher education than that of which I was the chosen advocate, led to the article onE ducation, New andO ld. The occasion of its production, therefore, accounts for the more special and polemical character of the third essay. The address on The Essentials of aM odern Liberal Education was delivered before the Association of the Alumni of Western Reserve University at the Commencement of 1895. All four of these essays are here published with very few and unimportant verbal changes.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
