The Humanities and the Common Man

This brief discussion of higher education is based on the argument that the spirit of the humanities should dominate the entire program of a public university. The central position of the humanities cannot be recognized in present-day universities that have a naturalistic and utilitarian orientation. Only when this has been changed will a fundamental improvement in higher education be possible.
