Abstract
Education Without Compromise takes a critical look at the deteriorating quality of liberal arts education today. The author argues that many of our four-year colleges, most of our universities, and even our secondary schools have carelessly mixed vocational and academic courses without continuity or coherence, resulting in a patchwork of unrelated courses and requirements.
