Opis: Graduate and Undergraduate Courses and Degrees in Education, Vol. 2 - Buchner Edward Franklin

Excerpt from Graduate and Undergraduate Courses and Degrees in Education, Vol. 2: Normal Schools and University Departments of Education; The Present Status of Education as a Science

In the phrasing of the topic which has been selected for the opening discussion of this meeting it is to be noted that it asks a question and does not call for facts. It asks us to consider a possibility, rather than an actual condition which may be reported upon. It reads "should" and not "is." This favors a freedom which should be enjoyed by all who may participate in the discussion. It implies that our attitude toward the topic is deliberative rather than legislative.

It is also to be noted that the emphasis is to be placed on the word "graduate." This is plainly evident. Just why the development of the academic fortunes of our subject, "education," calls for such an emphasis raises another question. To anyone, however, who has thoughtfully lived through the development of our interests, as these have been expressed in the published records of our last six meetings, the timeliness of the topic is perfectly apparent.

Any discussion of the question should keep in mind as its background two important considerations: (a) the introduction and development of graduate work in American universities; and (b) the appearance and organization of education as a subject of advanced instruction. It is true that these two movements appeared, and to a large extent characterized, university developments in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. For the most part one is not warranted in believing that these two movements are mutually complementary. Just why it happened that American colleges and the few later foundations of new universities struggled with the problems of graduate instruction, is a question whose answer cannot come by citing of a single set of facts.
