...students for “life beyond college,” and even more embarrassing that the financial crisis is used as an excuse to stop investigating the serious idea that Great Books have a place in undergraduate education. Nothing less than the future of Harvard’s status as the premier provider of a liberal education is at stake, and this writer, on the occasion of his last column of the year, hopes that the administration will undo its decision with haste...
