Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of graduate education, exploring the need for the humanization of knowledge. Arising from the critique that American scholarship was organized into small, disconnected departments, the author discusses the resulting problems of narrow-mindedness and isolation in scholars. The book proposes a solution to this problem in the form of the new Graduate College of Princeton. Envisioned as a residential college devoted to higher liberal studies, it aims to create a community of scholars and students who can pursue interdisciplinary interests, engage in intellectual exchange, and develop well-rounded views. The book argues that only by fostering such an environment can graduate education fulfill its mission of producing scholars who are not only experts in their fields but also broadly educated and engaged with the world beyond.
