Correlation Of Vocational And Liberal Education Through English Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Oxford After the War a Liberal Education I submit that it is under the control of these two propositions, taken singly or together, that all Statutes and Regulations for new courses of study to be introduced at Oxford, with their respective examinations and degrees, and for' the alteration of existing courses, ought to be framed. Some such Statutes and Regulations have already been made, and are being made, by the University in preparation for new con ditions likely, it is thought, to become urgent as soon as Peace comes. It remains to be seen how these particular Statutes and Regula tions will work. I think that the future is still too obscure to warrant preparations which go into detail. I shall therefore content myself with putting forward some general considera tions which, as it seems to me, ought to govern all detail, when the time comes for going into detail - general considerations involving the acceptance of the two propositions which I have placed at the head of this pamphlet. Oxford has hitherto made the imparting of a liberal education her principal concern. Were she to make it less than her principal concern she would break the continuity of her life irreparably, and renounce her claim to a great place in the English-speaking world of the future. As an institution concerned principally with the production of specialists she might hold a respectable place in that world, but certainly would not hold a great place. In order, however, to maintain the continuity of her life in the altered circumstances of the New Age, she must reform her scheme of a liberal education in the sense of assigning a place in it to Natural Science by the side of Humane Letters themselves more broadly conceived.
