Great Books: 100 Years, 100 Stories
The ”Great Books” tradition began in 1918. 100 years later 100 former students wrote about their Great Books experiences at Pepperdine University, Malibu, California. The Pepperdine Great Books program began in 1986 following a visit by Mortimer Adler. Columbia’s John Erskine held the first “Great Books” class in 1918. One of his students, Mortimer Adler, along with University of Chicago President, Robert Hutchins, promoted the the teaching of Great Books along with their publication of The Great Books of the Western World. In conjunction with The Center for the Study of the Great Ideas and co-founder Max Weismann, both continuing Adler’s work, alumni of the Pepperdine Great Books program remember that legacy with their own reflective retrospectives on their Socratic engagement with the classics of western thought.
