Higher Commercial Education and the University
The article defends adding commercial studies to college curriculums, detailing a twofold aim: cultural training and practical business preparation. It outlines core liberal subjects, semi professional social science courses, and a technical track including accounting, law, chemistry, and economics, with emphasis on discipline, general methods, and adaptable, inquiry driven instruction. It also addresses objections from business leaders and worries about compromising liberal ideals, urging systematic, professional style study for modern industry.

He contends such courses attract ambitious youths and enrich university atmosphere without lowering standards.
