Ideal education is one that develops intellectual power.
It is an education calculated to develop the mind. I have old fashioned prejudices in favor of the three R's and the liberal arts, in favor of trying to understand the greatest works that the human race has produced. I have assumed that the duty of an educator is to change things from the way they are to the way they ought to be. The purpose of higher education is to unsettle the minds of young men, to widen their horizons, to inflame their intellects. The faculty dealing with general education must be independent of and, perhaps, isolated from the university.
