Excerpt from Remarks on Classical and Utilitarian Studies: Read Before the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Dec; 20, 1866
The following Remarks were intended as a more complete expression of some of the leading ideas advanced in an address on the "Limits of Education," given last year before the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It may seem presumptuous to question a belief which has prevailed in the learned world for many centuries, and on which both labor and erudition have been lavishly bestowed. But the transitional state of opinion in regard to prominent intellectual pursuits, and especially the requirements of our own progressive and original people, may justify any attempt to indicate the channel in which the tide of human energy and progress is henceforth apparently destined to flow.
