It may le well, as the schools are closing, to
puisne ihis theme a little further. Sir Richard
Jebb long ago wrote as follows: "T he creative
literature of Greece from Homer 10 Demosthenes, had a course of spontaneous development and natural growth throughout which it
was in constant touch with life; and it has left
a series of typical standards in prose and poetry
. . . No one can comprehend the history and
development of English literature, or any literature of modern Europe, without a knowledge
of the ultimate sources of Greek and Latin literature . . . The greater and more fruitful is the
progress of science, the greater the need for humane letters, 10 establish and maintain a harmony between the new knowledge and those
profound, unchanging instincts of our nature."
Huxley wrote that "culture is something quite
different from learning or 'technical skill. It
implies the possession of an ideal, and the habit
of critically estimating the caloes of things by a
theoretic standard."
In his Essav on the Idea of a I'niversiiv, Newman wrote that "this process of training bv

or sac rificed 10 some pat tit ular or accidental
purpose, some specific trade or profession, or
some study or science, is disciplined for iis own
sake, for the perception of its own prcer object,
and for its own highest culture, is called liliejal
education."
Mill oinied out that while the scientific discoveries of the great Greeks have leen far surpassed by the researches of the moderns, and

while as much of what the learned still has
value is capable of being inororaied in current
scientific woiks. "what docs not admit of leing
