UNITY AS AN EDUCATIONAL IDEAL.

The article discusses an educational ideal for institutions of higher learning in the U.S. The author points out how the idea of education is difficult to consider, but that evidence of its advancement are available in the technological progress of the early 1900's. It is his view that education must extend its functions beyond the acquisition of knowledge to make any contribution to the developing world. Furthermore, he expresses the role of higher education and its contributions to present day society. Specialization, however, has caused an imbalance in higher education, and to this extent, the author calls for a more balanced way of learning.
