The Utility of Knowledge-Making as a Means of Liberal Training: Inaugural Address Delivered at the Opening of the Fortieth Session of Dalhousie ... N. S., September 13th, 1899 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Rethinking education for real-world success and leadership.
This inaugural address presents a clear case for knowledge‑making as a central goal of liberal training, beyond memorization or exams. It argues that colleges should be living laboratories where students practice turning experience into understanding.
The speaker surveys old and new curricula, discusses farmer, business, and university needs, and outlines how teachers and facilities must evolve. The result is a practical vision: equip professors to pursue research, expand hands‑on learning, and prepare graduates who can adapt, create, and lead in a changing world.
- Understand the difference between information delivery and knowledge making.
- See why practical, hands‑on study can boost lifelong learning and career readiness.
- Explore how university support for research and equipment can elevate teaching across all disciplines.
- Learn how national needs and local realities shape higher education choices.
Ideal for readers interested in higher education history, curriculum reform, and the philosophy of liberal training.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a profound theory on the pivotal role of knowledge acquisition in shaping our lives and professions. By examining historical educational models, the author demonstrates that true learning lies not merely in accumulating vast amounts of information, but in cultivating the ability to create knowledge independently. This skill not only empowers individuals in their respective fields but also contributes to their overall success and fulfillment. The author argues that modern teaching practices, with their emphasis on written examinations and centralized testing systems, suppress this fundamental capacity, leading to a decline in the quality of education. By advocating for a return to knowledge-making methods, the book underscores the transformative power of fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and the ability to learn from one's own experiences. Ultimately, the insights presented in this book provide a valuable framework for educators and learners alike, emphasizing the enduring significance of knowledge creation and its ability to unlock boundless possibilities for growth and accomplishment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
