Yale Report of 1828 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Yale Report of 1828
The Yale Report of 1828 is a document written by the faculty of Yale College in staunch defense of the classical curriculum. The report maintained that because of Yale's primary object of graduating well-educated and well-rounded men, it should continue to require all of its students to follow a single thorough curriculum, with Latin and Greek literature at its core. Before the release of the report, there was a gradual movement toward a more open, elective course of study at colleges around the United States. The report was in part a response to the criticism of Latin and Greek as "dead languages". According to the ''Yale Daily News'', the report was released "as the University's reputation was at its zenith", when "the eyes of the nation's academic community focused on New Haven".〔"(Past guides review committee: After 1828's conservatism and 1953's failed coup, 2003 finds moderation )", ''Yale Daily News'', 2003-11-17〕 The highly-influential report, which reformers have complained set back curricular reforms by decades, tipped the balance at universities across the United States, including at Princeton and Harvard, toward a conservative approach to higher education. The report was issued in two parts. ''Part I'' presents the plan for education at Yale and defends the classical curriculum and ''Part II'' specifically considers to importance of the classical languages to the curriculum. ==History== The report was issued after a September 11, 1827, resolution of Yale's President and Fellows ordered a faculty committee "to inquire into the expediency of so altering the regular course of instruction in this college, as to leave out of said course the study of the ''dead languages'', substituting other studies therefor; and either requiring a competent knowledge of said languages, as a condition of admittance into the college, or providing instruction in the same, for such as shall choose to study them after admittance." The faculty signed its report with September 9, 1828, as its date.
