"We have seen that education through the liberal arts and great books is the best education for the best.
 
"We have seen that the democratic ideal requires the attempt to help everybody get this education.
 
"We have seen that none of the great changes, the rise of experimental science, specialization, and industrialization, makes this attempt irrelevant.
 
"On the contrary, these changes make the effort to give everybody this education more necessary and urgent."
