Excerpt from Higher Education, Its Function in Preserving and Extending Our Civilization: University Convocation Address Delivered at the Quarter Centennial Boston University, May 31, 1898 He meets it in every recitation room and in the general con duct of the institution. He finds himself in association with a large number of students all occupied upon this work of learning the regulative principles not only of human conduct but also of the world of knowledge. The lawyer, after working years and years over his cases, comes by and by to have what is called a legal mind, so that he sees at a glance, almost as by intuition, what the law will be in a new case. So, in the four years of college under graduate life, the student gets an insight which enables him to decide immediately a phase of the problem of life. He forms a habit of mind which inquires constantly of each thing and event: How does this look in the light of the whole of human learning? What is the good form which the consensus of the scholars of the world has fixed for this? He learns at once to suspect what are called isms and universal pana ceas as one - sided statements. The wisdom of the race begins to form a conscious element of his life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
