Liberal Education for a Land of Colleges
Yale's Reports, published in 1828, is a seminal publication for understanding the development of American higher education. Giving highest priority to critical thinking skills, this fifty-six-page pamphlet played a central role in clearly delineating teaching objectives, modes of learning, and range of curriculum for the nation's colleges. In a deeply researched and well-crafted analytical narrative, David B.
