Charles Eliot's Harvard Classics (now at archive.org), 5-foot shelf of books and a shelf of fiction. 15-minutes per day for a year to a liberal education. In Fifteen Minutes a Day, The Reading Guide, Dr. Elliot is quoted as saying "...I had more than once stated in public that in my opinion a five-foot -- at first a three-foot -- shelf would hold books enough to afford a good substitute for a liberal education to anyone who would read them with devotion, even if he could spare but fifteen minutes a day for reading."
| Quote of the moment |
| That low man seeks a little thing to do, Sees it and does it; This high man, with a great thing to pursue, Dies ere he knows it. That low man goes on adding one to one,- His hundred's soon hit; This high man, aiming at a million, Misses an unit. That has the world here-should he need the next, Let the world mind him! This throws himself on God, and unperplexed Seeking shall find him. |
| ~ Robert Browning, A Grammarian's Funeral. ~ |
