Welcome to the best.

Expect the worst.

Some drink and pain.

Some die of thirst.

The way of knowing which way it's going.

Hope for the best.

Welcome to the Commentary Magazine Daily podcast brought to today by the Hamilton School at the University of Florida.

At a time when American higher education has lost its way, the Hamilton School at the University

of Florida is setting a new standard,

offering an elite education that's anything but elitist. Led by world-class scholars, Hamilton is

reviving the classical liberal arts tradition, grounded in the great works of Western civilization

and the founding principles of the American Republic. In small discussion-based classes, students study history, philosophy, economics, literature,

and America's founding texts, developing the discipline, eloquence, and moral confidence

to lead with purpose in their careers, their communities, and their lives.
