Welcome for the best.

Expect the worst.

Some drink champagne.

Some die of thirst.

The way of knowing which way it's going.

Hope for the best.

Expect the worst.

Oh, for the bad.

Welcome to the Commentary Magazine Daily podcast, brought to you 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.
