History and its Lessons

William N. Parker

Chapter 11 in Learning and Technological Change, 1993, pp 201-216 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Mr Dooley, the Chicago newspaper column philosopher in the years around 1900, read in the paper one day a statement from a college professor about the state of the world. He commented to his friend, Mr Hennessy, ‘Tis a grand thing to be a college professor.’ Mr Hennessy replied, ‘Not much to do.’ ‘No,’ mused Mr Dooley, ‘not much to do, but a great deal to say.’
