“(Ben) Franklin believed that education should help people navigate the real world as they entered careers in politics, law, business, and other fields. At the same time, he wanted young men to gain exposure to ‘the great outlines of knowledge.’ The purpose of their education would be to produce ‘true merit,’ which meant joining ability with the inclination to serve Mankind, one’s Country, Friends and Family.”
Fareed Zakaria. In Defense of a Liberal Education
