- W791344 abstract "President's Commission on Higher Education faced a very difficult task. It was asked by President Truman to think of the long-range problems of the higher learning terms of its objectives, methods and facilities; and in the light of the social role it has to play. It thus faced a twofold problem: the social function, in popular terms, of our university system, a problem related in the departments of the national government to old-age pensions and unemployment insurance; and the social function in intellectual terms. By considering the popular problem first, the Commission failed to observe the intellectual one, and in consequence even its recommendations on the popular front are of questionable value. Through all our history we have been extravagantwith forests, soil and iron; with work, energy and our feelings. In education our extravagance has taken the form of being able to afford inaccuracy, sentiment and widespread pretense a pretense so magnificent that in one of the squabbles over the inflation of the bachelor's degree Barrett Wendell proposed that all infants be declared bachelors of arts at birth. Our chief wastage lies in the substitution of feeling for ideas, our concern for attitudes and neglect of critical thought, our flattery of the romantic elements of youth, and our preference for a picnic of pleasant and ephemeral feeling over the riches of the mind. All this would be inconsiderable in the world, were it not that in material affairs we have very hard common sense. Our precision in dealing with matter, and our success in exploiting it, has invited unwelcome obligations which are really moral and intellectual. Contentment with half-analyzed facts about human life and experience, coupled with an inaccurate and irresponsible account of" @default.
