False Education in Our Colleges and Universities

"False Education in Our Colleges and Universities" presents a provocative critique of the American academic landscape during the early 20th century. Written by Emil Oliver Jorgensen, this work examines the systemic failures within higher education, specifically focusing on the perceived suppression of economic truths and the promotion of biased curricula. Jorgensen argues that many institutions of higher learning serve as echo chambers for established interests rather than bastions of objective inquiry and social progress.The book delves into the methodologies and pedagogical approaches prevalent in universities of the era, questioning the validity of the social sciences as they were then taught. By highlighting the discrepancies between academic theory and economic reality, the author seeks to alert the public to what he characterizes as a "false education" that hinders intellectual development and civic awareness. This volume remains a significant historical document for those interested in the history of educational reform, political economy, and the evolution of academic freedom in the United States. It offers a unique window into the intellectual debates that shaped 1920s thought regarding the role of the university in a democratic society.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
