The Teacher's Role In Liberal Education, James Redfield

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Liberal Education does not concern itself with the process by which people come to be able to do what is required of them; liberal education is the process by which people come to be excellent. Servile education makes a man useful to other people; liberal education makes him satisfactory to himself.

The University And Social Change, Rudolf J. Siebert

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Social change remains a most dramatic and most difficult challenge - a challenge which has to be faced. The academic community must face it, not only theoretically and practically inside of the university as an institution, but in its social and cultural environments as well.

How The Younger Generation Is Being Corrupted, Henry Winthrop

Perspectives (1969-1979)

A brief synopsis of this cesspool of corruption; and so doing, I can serve in a small way to help the undergraduate to steer clear of the baneful intellectual and cultural influences to which he may be subjected during his four years at college.

On Some Aspect Of An Integrated General Education*, Martin Levit

Perspectives (1969-1979)

For many proponents, the educational reforms instituted by the general education movement were intended to represent or make possible social reforms. They were designed to develop capable and concerned social critics and reformers, people who had not merely a specialist's, niche-filler's, or functionary's, view of society but, also had embracive concerns and a comprehensive view of the social structure.

General Education: An Essay In Definition*, Edward B. Blackman

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Thus by indirection we have arrived at a kind of definition of general or liberal education:²⁵ indispensable knowledge, regardless of one's specialty, of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities; the cumulative and the non-cumulative; the rational, the emotional, the spiritual, the mystical; fidelity and art; the real and the fanciful; the solemn and the sportive; self-discipline and the anarchic-the whole great range of human knowledge and feeling and character and action in the broadest horizons above and in the narrowest of crevices below, not mastered to be sure, but richly sampled.

The University Of The Absurd: The Liberal Tradition In The Age Of Wescac, Harvey Overton

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Technical training in the university of the absurd will, of course, be superb. The new industrial state will provide- in fact, already is providing- the money and resources to train the physicists, chemists. engineers, sociologists, psychologists, and mathematicians needed to make the new technocracy function properly. (I don't mean to depreciate this contribution; it is of course, important and vital.) And as the university becomes increasingly proficient in its vocation al programs, it will increasingly reflect the corporate character of the society within which it functions, and the pervasive motivation in American education will be to achieve success in the …

An Environment For Environmental Studies, John Freund

Perspectives (1969-1979)

If we think of a liberal education as one which seeks to provide human beings with a means for realizing their humanity, we must recognize immediately that our educational institutions are completely out of it. It is not just that they aren't doing the job. They are in another ball park, playing a duller-and dirtier-game.

One of the rules of the game they are playing is that everyone must pretend that whatever is going on constitutes a liberal education. This doesn't really fool very many people, but it introduces so many irrelevancies into any discussion of the matter that coming …
