'''Robert Maynard Hutchins''' (1899-1977) was the president then chancellor of the [[University of Chicago]], and an influential educator who was known for his development of Prennialism, a philosophy in which students learn "life lessons" from reading great literature, or Great Books. Hutchins believed that students should discuss these books in class via the [[Socratic method]]. He also believed that extracurricular activities were a waste of valuable time, and disbanded the University of Chicago's [[football]] team, which had been a founding member of the [[Big Ten Conference]]. The team was later reinstated, but is not a "big league" school like it once was.
