A friend and I attempted to put this ideal into action by starting a serials of seminars at Brandeis called Freshman Seminars Introduction to the Intellectual Life. In the ideal college, intrinsic education would be available to anyone who wanted itsince anyone can improve and learn. The student body might include creative, intelligent children as well as adults; morons as well as geniuses . The college would be ubiquitousthat is, not restricted to particular buildings at particular times, and teachers would be any human beings who had something that they wanted to share with others. The college would be lifelong, for learning can take place all through life. Even dying can be a philosophically illuminating, highly educative experience.
