N.B. No dogmatic claim about the validity of Eliot's selection, or of any particular definition of the humanities, is implied here. This is a memory project pure and simple, it either interests you or it doesn't -- if it doesn't, check out some of our other videos, we cover a range of topics!

About Charles Eliot's 'five foot shelf' (from advert for 1918 Cambridge edition):
'What are the few great books - biographies, histories, novels, dramas, poems, books of science and travel, philosophy and religion that liberalize and inspire the mind, and lead busy men and women to a clearer way of thinking, greater personal power, wider influence among their fellows?
Dr. Charles W. Eliot, from his lifetime of reading, study and teaching - forty years of it as President of Harvard University - has answered that question for us in the Harvard Classics.
"It is my belief," says Dr. Eliot, "that the faithful and considerate reading of these books will give any man the essentials of a liberal education even if he can devote to them but fifteen minutes a day."'
