The Old Humanities and the New Science by William Ausner is about the study of the humanities and classical studies from an early 20th-century viewpoint. Excerpt: "It is the general custom of this Association to choose as its President alternately a classical scholar and a man of wide eminence outside the classics. Next year you are to have a man of science, a great physician who is also famous in the world of learning and literature. Last year you had a statesman, who, though a statesman, is also a great scholar and man of letters, a sage and counselor in the antique mold, of worldwide fame and unique influence."
