Great Americans Would Not Fit American College
Princeton professor Walter Whittlesey argues that historical figures Abraham Lincoln Thomas Jefferson Benjamin Franklin and Grover Cleveland would not fit modern universities. He says Lincoln could not afford college today and his mind would outrun constraints, while Cleveland would be too slow to respond to current exam demands and Jefferson and Franklin would be expelled for resisting restraints. He warns that colleges risk producing a uniform minded PhD class and advocates institutions that send graduates into varied life roles.
