Résumé :
Excerpt from What Is a Liberal Education: An Address Delivered by Hon. Franklin H. Head, of Chicago Ill;, Before the Alumni Association of Hamilton College, at Clinton, N. Y., Wednesday, June 27, 1883

Margaret Fuller says in substance that the college graduate is, until he has forgotten his training, and learned anew by practical experience and the mingling With men, a poor citizen, Whose knowledge and modes of thought are all of dead and buried Greek empires, and not of the world of today. And Herbert Spencer in his most popular work arraigns boldly all of what is known as the higher education, as an almost utter waste of time. These sundry statements and many others which might be quoted from the writings of scholars, can not be without some foundation.
