Music

The author says that the musician Lionel Trilling was disturbed by the badness of the material which the book pumped into the student's mind, but if all judgments in the book were sound there would still be the necessity of those judgments that would disturb the author. The education of a young man of college age includes making him acquainted with great ideas that have been thought, the great literature that has been written, and it is right that it should do so, even though a great many young men of college age are not equipped or ready to appreciate the greatness of ideas or the literature.
