The Historic College by William Jewett Tucker PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from The Historic College: Its Present Place in the Educational System; An Address If I may now assume that I have shown that the dis tinction of the college lies in its homogeneity, and that I have rightly interpreted the causes which are at work to preserve that distinction, we are ready to take up the next part of our question and ask, What is the capacity of the college to meet the widening demands of the new educa tion? Is there anything in the subject-matter, or method, or general discipline, introduced by the new education, which excludes the historic college from a share in it, or remands it to an inferior place? The answer to this ques tion changes somewhat our point of view. Thus far we have been concerned more with the contrast between the college and the university. We shall now be concerned more with the contrast between the college and the school of technology. Yet for the moment we remain in the former field. By long tradition there are certain subjects requiring continued and specialized treat ment which have been put quite without and beyond the college curriculum. These subjects have been chiefly con nected with the great professions. It is now to be noted that there is a tendency to throw back a considerable amount of elementary work from the professional schools into the colleges. Allowance is made both in time and in the larger choice of studies, in the schools of medicine and of theology, and in some cases of law, for those who have taken elementary courses in the colleges. A college student may, if the college so provides, elect his way, up to a certain point, into a professional school. But for the most part the subject-matter of the professional schools must be altogether different from that of the college.
