1 янв 1931 г. - Robert Hutchins begins the "New Plan" at U Chicago

Описание:

"treated European civilization as a unity and had little, if anything, to say about non-European cultures; stress the reading of major texts rather than modern commentaries on these text" (Herbert Lindenberger), although U Chicago's website on Hutchens disputes Chicago every really adopting a "Great texts" curriculum.

Scott Buchanan, McKeon, and Adler were originally on the team, but there were political rifts between them (see Adler's autobio).

Late in life Hutchins mused about his years in Chicago, "Our idea there was to start a big argument about higher education and keep it alive." (http://president.uchicago.edu/directory/robert-maynard-hutchins)
