Students outside Adams Hall, 1930
The University of Wisconsin Experimental College was a two-year college designed and led by Alexander Meiklejohn inside the University of Wisconsin–Madison with a great books , liberal arts curriculum. It was established in 1927 and closed in 1932. Meiklejohn proposed the idea for an alternative college in a 1925 Century magazine article. The magazine's editor-in-chief, Glenn Frank , became the University of Wisconsin's president and invited Meiklejohn to begin the college within the university. Despite pushback from the faculty, the college opened in the fall of 1927 with a self-governing community of 119 students and less than a dozen faculty. Students followed a uniform curriculum: Periclean Athens for freshmen and modern America for sophomores. The program sought to teach democracy and to foster an intrinsic love of learning within its students.
The college's students became known as free spirited outsiders within the university for their different dress, apathetic demeanor, and greater interest in reading books. The college's demographics were unlike the rest of the university, with students largely not from Wisconsin and disproportionately of Jewish and
East Coast families. The college developed a reputation for radicalism and wanton anarchy, especially within Wisconsin. The students lived and worked with their teachers, called advisers, in Adams Hall, away from the heart of the university. They had no fixed schedule, no compulsory lessons, and no semesterly grades, though they read from a common syllabus. The advisers taught primarily through
tutorial instead of lectures. Extracurricular groups, including philosophy, law, and theater clubs, were entirely student led. (

Roman copy (in marble) of a
Greek bronze bust of Aristotle by
Lysippos (
c. 330 BC), with modern alabaster mantle
Aristotle (384–322 BC) was an Ancient Greek philosopher and polymath . His writings cover a broad range of subjects spanning the natural sciences , philosophy , linguistics , economics , politics , psychology , and the arts . As the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy in the Lyceum in Athens , he began the wider Aristotelian tradition that followed, which set the groundwork for the development of modern science .
Little is known about Aristotle's life. He was born in the city of
Stagira in
northern Greece during the
Classical period . His father,
Nicomachus , died when Aristotle was a child, and he was brought up by a guardian. At 17 or 18, he joined
Plato 's
Academy in Athens and remained there until the age of 37 (
c. 347 BC). Shortly after Plato died, Aristotle left Athens and, at the request of
Philip II of Macedon , tutored his son
Alexander the Great beginning in 343 BC. He established a library in the Lyceum, which helped him to produce many of his hundreds of books on
papyrus scrolls . (
