The American Scholar: A Study in Litterae Inhumaniores

Foerster has here formulated his ideas concerning the relation of humanism to graduate study and scholarship. In a day when all educational ideals and methods are up for reexamination and appraisal, this book is particularly timely, and no one interested in such questions can afford to be ignorant of this carefully considered statement by one of the leading thinkers of his day. Originally published in 1929.
