After Office Hours

A Visit with Dr. Nicholson J. Eastman

Abstract

 

“The aim of education is merely the development of good taste in knowledge and good form in conduct. To have good taste or discernment requires a capacity for thinking things through to the bottom, an independence of judgment, and an unwillingness to be bulldozed by any form of humbug. An educated man, therefore, is one who has the right loves and hatreds. This we call taste, and with taste comes charm.”—Lin Yutang
