| Sumario: | The article presents information on the educational program called the Antioch program. There are two phases of the Antioch program. One of these is cultural, technical, and practical training to provide Antioch students with the necessary intellectual equipment for effective living and working. The other is the development of purposes and aims of living, the development of basic energy drives and attitudes, that will lead students and faculty alike to commit themselves wholly to the great human adventure of discovering and fulfilling the best possibilities of life. For carrying out the program, one needs cultural and professional equipment. Without it the aims must remain crude and warped and the powers relatively small. Cultural development and professional progress, however, are futile unless directed toward great purposes. Antioch is primarily concerned with the simultaneous growth of these two elements. Educators refuse to surrender either one to the other. They might choose to develop critical intellectual discrimination, while educators let the fire of great purpose die away. This is sometimes the tendency of scholarship in a large university.
