Excerpt from The Trend in Higher Education
There need be no hesitation in saying that in the present times there is a trend in higher education. Nor is it difficult to point out some of the more conspicuous elements which characterize the movement that is taking place before our eyes. The philosophy of it is something more difficult to formulate. Indeed, such formulation cannot be expected for a long time. Meanwhile it only remains to study the various features which, from time to time, present themselves, and to indicate their individual significance.
If a unity of purpose exists in the several papers collected in this volume, it will be found in the effort made to point out this trend in some of the higher educational movements of the day. I have not undertaken to note all of these features, nor, indeed, any considerable number of them, for the field is illimitable. Nor have I proposed to classify these elements as a basis for generalization. Some such work as this may be undertaken later. I have tried only to make a record of observations here and there which may perhaps contribute something to a preview of the tendency of things in this great field of intellectual activity.
