| Abstract | Focusing on the concept of education for work vs. education for living, the author presents a comparative analysis of two works on liberal education, each of which was originally delivered orally to university students: "The Inaugural Address at the University of St. Andrew" by John Stuart Mill and "The University of Utopia" by Robert Maynard Hutchins. Chapter 1 is an analysis of the two works. Chapter 2 expands further on the five criteria used as a basis of the comparison, giving the views of other author and educators on the criteria. The five criteria are (1) the concept of a university, (2) the concept of a university liberal arts education, (3) the curriculum of a liberal education, (4) the methods used in liberal arts education, and (5) the product of liberal university education. The third chapter compares the main ideas of the two authors, juxtaposing them for emphasis, with occasional references to other works. In a concluding section, focusing on the attempt to demonstrate that both Mill and Hutchins are strong exponents of liberal education, the author relates the thoughts of Mill and Hutchins to university education in modern society.
