The papers collected here were delivered during an often-heated conference at the university in 1966, and include contributions from such scholars as Northrop Frye, Richard McKeon, and, of course, the dean of the college, Wayne Booth himself. Taken as a whole, they present a passionate defense of liberal education, one that remains highly relevant today. 606 $aEducation 606 $aEducation, Humanistic 610 $aeducation, university of chicago, humanities, academia, wayne booth, richard mckeon, northrop frye, liberal arts, great books, canon formation, aesthetics, plato, gender, feminism, equality, social justice, equity, opportunity, diversity, undergraduates, graduate school, science, critical thinking, knowledge, nonfiction, conference. 615 0$aEducation. 615 0$aEducation, Humanistic. 676 $a370.11 676 $a370.8 676 $a370/.8 701 $aBooth$b Wayne C$0200520 712 02$aUniversity of Chicago. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782536303321 996 $aThe knowledge most worth having$93800390 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02079oam 2200517M 450 001 9910715570803321 005 20191116081234.1 035 $a(CKB)5470000002512345 035 $a(OCoLC)1066029593 035 $a(OCoLC)995470000002512345 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002512345 100 $a20070221d1829 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aCotton and hemp for sails and cordage.
