The Great Books

"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."
-Robert M. Hutchins

The Coming Aristocracy:
Education and the Future of Freedom
"The Coming Aristocracy is a clarion call for all freedom-loving Americans to awaken to our present dangers. Oliver DeMille is a modern-day Founding Father and no patriot's library is complete without this book!"
"The Coming Aristocracy is compelling, timely, and vital. This may be one of the most important books you'll read this year."
