Remarks On Classical And Utilitarian Studies: Read Before The American Academy Of Arts Sciences - Softcover
Synopsis
Remarks On Classical And Utilitarian Studies: Read Before The American Academy Of Arts Sciences by Jacob Bigelow presents a historical defense of utilitarian education over exclusive devotion to ancient Greek and Latin letters. Drawing on observations from the mid-19th century, the author argues that progress in science, industry, and social life has been driven by practical knowledge and new technologies rather than by classical lore. He compares the two educational modes, claims that classical study strengthens the mind but often fails to yield useful results, and urges a balanced curriculum that includes modern languages, science, ethics, and the arts. He discusses the limitations of studying ancient inflections and mythological frameworks, and he praises Baconian and empirical methods that broaden human welfare. The address traces how printing, navigation, steam, electricity, and other innovations have extended life, reduced pain, and expanded human reach, and it contends that universities must adapt to the needs of a rapidly changing society while preserving value in literature and eloquence.
