Session 7 of the Annual Meeting of the Association for General and Liberal Studies which was held at Michigan State University, October 17 through October 19, 1974.

The University College advisor at Michigan State University needs to know dozens of things. The kinds of things she has to learn can be divided, roughly, into two categories: the written and the unwritten.

Man and the Environment: A Course Designed for Lifelong Learning

The Communication Of Legitimacy, Kenneth E. Boulding

Perspectives (1969-1979)

One of the most important and at the same time most puzzling strands in the great web of society is that which constitutes the legitimacy of human relationships. It is this which makes the difference between the policeman and the bandit, the pretender and the king, the heretic and the orthodox, the bastard and the heir. Without legitimacy, no complex and continuing operation of social life is possible. Social relations become one-shot jobs, single acts of violence or even of exchange, without any continuing pattern. The struggle of rival systems of legitimation is by far the most important conflict in …

Let me emphasize here, that labor organizations do not relegate a job to low priority. We do hold individual human beings as a top priority. Is someone really a nobody unless he is related to a job? Conversely, does a job guarantee that he is somebody?

"From Their Point of View"

General and liberal education has been a major interest in my own life and career. My classroom and social contacts with women in college and adult education reinforced my own conviction that it enhances the quality and style of a woman's life in ways, which defy statistical analysis.

An Education Of The Heart, Richard R. Williams

Perspectives (1969-1979)

It is simply amazing that in times such as these there are still general educators worrying over what to do to behave like one. I strongly suspect, furthermore, that the largest worriers are those who insist that any education worth its weight must be painfully extracted from existing disciplines and refashioned (i.e., "generalized") to meet the needs of a so-called liberal arts program. The principal oversight in such approaches lies in mistaking things which, on the one hand, occur with the greatest frequency for those which, on the other, are of general importance to life and experience. It is in …

General Education: Image And Reality, Paul Bernstein

Perspectives (1969-1979)

What, then, are the conclusions to be drawn for the future of general education in an open society?

1) If general education is to help our students achieve greater wisdom, departments must react in a less threatened manner. However, in the current educational climate, the legitimate needs of general education programs are not likely to prevail over departmental territoriality in very many institutions.

2) General education offerings clearly need more administrative support in an era which has come to exalt professional development as the sine qua non to success. As the Levine and Weingert study implied, this should be in …

Using Small Groups In Undergraduate Teaching, Francis Gross Jr.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

An old man once told me when I was a student of philosophy at St. Louis University, "Francis, never trust a successful teacher." A very successful college professor of mathematics once told me later, "Most teachers talk too God damned much." I have puzzled over these seemingly strange comments on teaching for the past twenty years. They are the genesis of this paper.

With regard to the "successful" teacher, Herbert Kelman sheds some light on why it is possibly a very bad idea to be successful.¹ He identifies three models of social influence on opinion change--compliance, identification, and internalization. …
