Do Universities Broaden Minds? Pre-Reading After-Reading Back Text Study Do Universities Broaden Minds? By Tertius Chandler Para. 1 Does university training help or hinder in developing intellectual capacity to do highly original work? Among highly creative modern thinkers the following were formally educated: Montesquieu, Jefferson, Goethe, Marx, and Gandhi. These did not go to college: Austen, Balzac, Tolstoy, Twain, and Shaw. translate
Text Study Henry Adams said, “No one can educate anyone Pre-Reading After-Reading Back Text Study Para. 2 Bright people can teach themselves. As Henry Adams said, “No one can educate anyone else. You have to do it for yourself.” There should, of course, be equivalency exams for the self-taught, as well as on-the-job training, for most professions. translate
Pre-Reading After-Reading Back Text Study Para. 3 Some would claim that if the youthful were encouraged to act freely, their initiative would be too great; that they would go crazy. But I think not: Most would marry; others would travel, invent, and carry on original work on all sorts of lines. Early marriage could balance many of them so they could work better. It is worth remembering in this connection that among the young, idealism and faith are uncommonly strong. translate
Pre-Reading After-Reading Back Text Study Para. 4 Those destined for ordinary jobs don’t need to learn anything taught in college, and many of them know it. They attend college because it’s the thing to do. They tend to take “snaps” such as English literature or sociology. I see no objection to letting them enjoy themselves at private colleges if they want to. translate
Pre-Reading After-Reading Back Text Study Para. 5 Public universities should, I think, confine themselves to serious training. The number entering should be preset as in Sweden, so as to train the quantity of people needed to fit the estimated number of openings in each profession, always allowing for the rise of some persons via equivalency exams. translate
Pre-Reading After-Reading Back Text Study Para. 6a College represents now too much of a good thing. There are too many learned professors and section leaders to adjust to, too many books to hasten through at a set speed and too many years to plod away on the treadmill. A Ph.D. subject in history is now expected to take four to eight years—on top of the twelve in school and four in college. translate
Pre-Reading After-Reading Back Text Study Para. 6b Perhaps, worst of all, the Ph.D. subject is deliberately kept small, so that the student will be able to claim mastery of something. Four to eight years of deliberate narrowing can have the effect of incapacitating him from ever taking a broad view of anything. The result of all this mental drill tends to be a mashed human, a hollow person. translate
Pre-Reading After-Reading Back Text Study Para. 6c Only a very sturdy soul, such as a Freud or a Schweitzer, can come through all this and still retain the ability to think for himself. University study could, with no intrinsic loss, be shortened from eight years to four. translate
Text Study compulsory education would have another Pre-Reading After-Reading Back Text Study Para. 7 These suggested reductions in compulsory education would have another powerful advantage: They might set our people’s minds largely free, a result surely to be wished. (473 words) translate
