Cardinal Moran (Sydney, Australia): "I have to thank you for the excellent volume Education How Old the New. The lectures are admirable, just the sort of reading we want for English readers of the present day."
New York Sun: "It is all bright and witty and based on deep erudition."
The North American (Phila.): "Wide historical research, clear graphic statement are salient elements of this interesting and suggestive addition to the modern welter of educational literature."
Detroit Free Press: "Full of interesting facts and parallels drawn from them that afford much material for reflection."
Chicago Inter-Ocean: "Incidentally it does away with a number of popular misconceptions as to education in the Middle Ages and as to education in the Latin-American countries at a somewhat later time. The book is written in a straight unpretentious and interesting style."
Wilkes-Barre Record: "The volume is most interesting and shows deep research bearing the marks of the indefatigable student."
Pittsburg Post: "There is no bitterness of controversy and one of the first things to strike the reader is that the dean of Fordham quotes from nearly everybody worth while, Protestant or Catholic, poetry, biography, history, science or what not."
The Wall Street News (N. Y.): "The book is calculated to cause a healthy reduction in the conceit which each generation enjoys at the expense of that which preceded it."
Rochester Post Express: "The book is well worth reading."
The New Orleans Democrat: "The book makes very interesting reading, but there is a succession of shocks in store in it for the complacent New Englander or Bostonian and for the orthodox or perfunctory reader of American literature."
