To produce the upheaval in the United States that changed and modernized the domain of higher education from the mid 1860’s to the mid 1880’s, three primary causes interacted. The emergence of a half dozen leaders in education provided the personal force that was needed. Moreover, an outcry for a fresher, more practical, and more advanced kind of instruction arose among the alumni and friends of nearly all of the old colleges and grew into a movement that overrode all conservative opposition. The aggressive "Young Yale" movement appeared, demanding partial alumni control, a more liberal spirit, and a broader course of study. The graduates of Harvard University simultaneously rallied to relieve the University’s poverty and demand new enterprise. Education was pushing toward higher standard in the East by throwing off church leadership everywhere, and in the west by finding a wider range of studies and a new sense of public duty.
The old style classical education received its most crushing blow in the citadel of Harvard University, where Dr. Charles Elliot, a young captain of thirty five, son of a former treasurer of Harvard, led the progressive forces. Five revolutionary advances were made during the five years of Dr. Elliot administration. They were the elevation and amplification of entrance requirements, the enlargement of the curriculum and the development of the elective system, the recognition of graduate study in the liberal arts, the raising of professional training in law, medicine, and engineering to a postgraduate level, and the fostering of greater maturity in student life. Standards of admission were sharply advanced in 1872—1873 and 1876—1877. By the appointment of a dean to take charge of student affairs, and a wise handling of discipline, the undergraduates were led to regard themselves more as young gentlemen and less as young animals. One new course of study or another was opened up—science, music, the history of the fine arts, advanced Spanish, political economy, physics, classical philosophy, and international law.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about old style classical education?
选项
A、Most students majored in law.
B、The courses were too difficult.
C、The curriculum was not reasonable.
D、Students could get Master’s degree in the liberal art.
答案
C
解析
根据第二段的“the enlargement of the curriculum and the development of the elective system...One new course of study or another was opened up science,music...and international law.”可知,改革后扩充了课程并发展选修课,学校开设了个又个的新课程自然科学、音乐、美术史、高级西班牙语、政治经济学、物理、古典哲学和国际法。据此可以推知,在旧式的教育下,课程的设置不合理。C项正确。
