Knox, one of the most influential educators of the early 20th century. As the longtime president of St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland, Knox championed a revolutionary approach to liberal arts education that emphasized the Great Books and relied on seminar-style discussions rather than lectures. Whitley's portrait of Knox is richly detailed and engaging, capturing not only his contributions to education but also his quirky personality and legendary wit. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of education in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work is in the \"public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
