The Role Of The Undergraduate College In Social Change, Kenneth E. Boulding, John Weiss

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Panel 1 presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting at Colgate University, October 30th through November 1st, 1969.

All social change, without exception, involves a process in human learning. Social change, indeed, is an evolutionary process in the field of the "noosphere," especially if we include in this those human artifacts which are the result of imprinting human knowledge on the material and social world.

We ought to be clear at the start that the academic disciplines and the undergraduate college have not had any great impact on social change. Historically, social change in our culture …

Environmental Components Of Liberal Education, George G. Stern, Daniel Lago, Samuel D. Johnson

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Panel 2 presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting at Colgate University, October 30th through November 1st, 1969.

The elements of such a curriculum for man can be derived from the evidence of early childhood. Manual dexterity, social interaction, esthetic response, and linguistic capacity constitute four sources of spontaneous gratification in early life. If the student were taken as the integrating center of a curriculum composed of successively more complex forms of these four elements, permitting his own inductive capacities to lead him on from one level to the next, a form of education would emerge …

The keynote address for the Annual Meeting of the Association for General and Liberal Studies at Colgate University, October 30-November 1, 1969.

The Challenge To Make Undergraduate Curricula Relevant To Students’ Needs, David S. Pacini, Francis D. Smith

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Panel 3 presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting at Colgate University, October 30th through November 1st, 1969.

The challenge for the liberal arts curriculum rests in the willingness of its leaders and teachers to again address the existential condition of which we are a part. We must be far more willing to probe the symbolic nature of men, and society, to unearth the dimensions of man for which students crave. We must address ourselves to the presupposition of a culture which is in many ways diffe rent from our own. Liberal arts education must take …

Science As A Liberal Study, James E. Trosko

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Panel 4 presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting at Colgate University, October 30th through November 1st, 1969.

Many educators recognize that, although elements ( facts, etc.) are needed in order to express or create, these things alone are not enough . Since connections of the mind are probably made from some sources of discipline, the phrase, in and of itself, expresses some truth. However, this facile phrase is too often used to mean the instructor who knows the substance of his discipline extremely well, can use that substance, and that alone, to educate his students. …

Science And Social Relevance, Gerald Holton

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Featured Address presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting at Colgate University, October 30th through November 1st, 1969.

Having struggled myself with various experiments in General Education over the years, what I'd like to talk about today are not any of the successes but rather some of the problems, particularly the problems that I see coming to us faster and faster in this business of bringing education in science to students who, many of them, are turning away from science and all it stands for.

A Proposal For Modifying General Studies Science*, Ollin J. Drennan

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The dominant thrust of General Studies activities lies in the direction of awakening and deepening the student's individual awareness to the welfare of man-individually and collectively-in the 1970's and beyond.

The State Of The Association For General And Liberal Studies, Horatio M. Lafauci

Perspectives (1969-1979)

To serve the profession thus, the Association must broaden its membership base. First, however, it must broaden the base of involvement by increasing and extending opportunities for direct engagement of the membership at large; second, it must develop and provide services which will be of interest and value to present and potential members; and third, it must be prepared to accept a leadership role in extending and refining the processes of general-liberal education and undergraduate teaching.
