General Education in a Free Society
General Education in a Free Society, also known as the Harvard Redbook, is a 1945 Harvard University report on the importance of general education in American secondary and post-secondary schools. It is among the most important works in curriculum studies.
According to historian Frederick Rudolph, the Redbook called for "a submersion in tradition and heritage and some sense of common bond strong enough to bring unbridled ego and ambition under control."
