Excerpt from The Languages in American Education: From the Proceedings of the Michigan Schoolmasters' Club and Classical Conference Held at Ann Arbor, Michigan, March 30, 1911 If, in our general school system, a widespread teaching of the modern languages cannot be justified by their commercial value, no more can it be defended merely and alone on the ground of their 'utility as spoken media. Pleasant as it may be, and helpful withal, for the American to converse with the native in his own tongue when he journeys across the water, we who have taught know all too well that, in the time it is possible to allot, the average pupil will not learn to speak German or French. The best that can be accomplished, and the most it is wise to aim for under our present system, is to give him a solid founda tion in the structure of the language and a facility in reading, and along with this to accustom his ear to the sound of the lan guage when spoken - a hearing knowledge rather than a speaking knowledge - so that if opportunity Offer for him to practice the speech he may at least be equipped to utilize this Opportunity wisely and successfully. This we owe to our pupils; to the over whelming majority of them, to those who will never have this Opportunity, we also owe that the courses shall not be shaped to the use of the minority at the cost Of the others.

American higher education was transformed between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of World War I. During this period, U.S. colleges underwent fundamental changes--changes that helped to create the modern university we know today. Most significantly, the study of the sciences and the humanities effectively dissolved the Protestant framework of learning by introducing a new secularized curriculum. This secularization has long been recognized as a decisive turning point in the history of American education. Until now, however, there has been remarkably little attention paid to the details of how this transformation came about. Here, at last, Jon Roberts and James Turner identify the forces and explain the events that reformed the college curriculum during this era. The first section of the book examines how the study of science became detached from theological considerations. Previously, one of the primary pursuits of "natural scientists" was to achieve an understanding of the workings of the divine in earthly events. During the late nineteenth century, however, scientists reduced the scope of their inquiries to subjects that could be isolated, measured, and studied objectively. In pursuit of "scientific truth," they were drawn away from the larger "truths" that they had once sought. On a related path, social scientists began to pursue the study of human society more scientifically, attempting to generalize principles of behavior from empirically observed events. The second section describes the revolution that occurred in the humanities, beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, when the study of humanities was largely the study of Greek and Latin. By 1900, however, the humanities were much more broadly construed, including such previously unstudied subjects as literature, philosophy, history, and art history. The "triumph of the humanities" represented a significant change in attitudes about what constituted academic knowledge and, therefore, what should be a part of the college curriculum. The Sacred and the Secular University rewrites the history of higher education in the United States. It will interest all readers who are concerned about American universities and about how the content of a "college education" has changed over the course of the last century. "[Jon Roberts and James Turner's] thoroughly researched and carefully argued presentations invite readers to revisit stereotypical generalizations and to rethink the premises developed in the late nineteenth century that underlie the modern university. At the least, their arguments challenge crude versions of the secularization thesis as applied to higher education."--From the foreword by William G. Bowen and Harold T. Shapiro
