...answer is essentially one to be answered only by the individual. Where should education cease?--that is academic education, for properly speaking, education in its broadest and truest sense can never cease. There is no absolute line of demarcation, no point beyond which will only serve to create what President Lowell calls "sad misfits of ill-directed ambition." But there is a system, or rather an order of things, which has been gradually evolving and which may help to make the situation less difficult and this panacea receives discussion in this same report...
...alleged that "neither the author of 'The Plastic Age' nor a writer for 'Liberty' can produce the panacea" and that "the duty of those who have education on their minds as well as their hearts is to find a method by which the doctorate may be in the truest sense humanized".

And the duty of those who have education on their minds as well as in their hearts is to find a method by which the doctorate may be in the truest sense humanized. Such humanization, like all else of a remedial nature, must, however, come from within. Neither the author of "The Plastic Age" nor a writer for "Liberty" can produce the panacea. They have not the background, dull and dry though it most certainly...
