Himmelfarb, Gertrude. "What To Do About Education: The Universities." Commentary Magazine, October, 1994.

Abstract:

Continuing the series we inaugurated last month with James Q. Wilson’s article on crime, we here move on to the issue of education.

It is now widely recognized that this country is failing at every level to educate its young people properly. But there is less agreement on what accounts for this dismal situation, and on how it might be changed. In addressing those questions, both Gertrude Himmelfarb, writing on the universities, and Chester E. Finn, Jr., dealing with the schools, draw on many years of experience and reflection.
