...from all and everything and gained little more than a few points of credit. But when a professor of education propounds this view, it is a sad sign of defeatism--a sign that educators recognize their failure without mustering the courage to combat it.

If Harvard fears that, as a liberal arts college, it has suffered shipwreck...
...Professor Brewer points out very correctly, undergraduates show their distrust of liberal education by choosing fields of concentration which they imagine to be related to their future occupations. They always end up disappointed, as though they had not been told innumerable times that they should not hope for any practical training in their courses.

That got him back into the newspaper business and he moved on to the St. Paul Globe and then the Minneapolis Journal, which paid him $30 a week to be sports editor...
...this U. S. visit, Professor Krogh will lecture at the Universities of Minnesota and Chicago as well as Swarthmore, attend biological meetings in Manhattan and elsewhere, taking with him his plain, patient wife, who is a doctor of medicine and has done valuable research on metabolism. Born to a brewer in Denmark's Jutland 65 years ago, August Krogh (pronounced Krug) was fascinated by beetle larvae at the age of four. At the University of Copenhagen he ripped with great speed and facility through courses in physics, chemistry and biology, specialized in zoology, studied the respiration of marine animals...
