The New Context Of General And Liberal Education, Harold L. Hodgkinson

The keynote address for the Annual Meeting of the Association for General and Liberal Studies at Oklahoma State University, October 18-October 20, 1973.

An Interdisciplinary Humanities Program As An Approach To Literature, Frederick F. Ritsch

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Let me conclude with a statement from Maxwell Goldberg, the author of Design in Liberal Learning: "Without becoming amorphous or aimless," writes Professor Goldberg, "we are trying to replace the static, mechanical, closed-system, monistic, and self-contained routine thinking of conventional liberal learning with the open-structured, pluralistic, multilinear, multilectic thinking of the new liberal learning." He provides us with an excellent metaphor here: the concept of "freedom flowing into form."* And I might add, in our case we do not seek a "new humanism," but rather seek to revitalize the presentation of that humanism which is an integral part of …

Liberal Arts And Livelihood: A Dual Design For Higher Education, George E. Lamore Jr.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

True, there have been exceptions, and every educator thinks he is one, but generally speaking, the Liberal Arts student or graduate is deeply confused, disappointed and frustrated. He is aware that his college has taught him to think, but not to be a person or to do a job. For education to neglect these dimensions of the heart and hands is to produce something more tragic than the multiple amputee. It is to produce a truncated head, absolved from personhood and detached from practicality.

Reflections On General Education, Ollin J. Drennan

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Life is a series of events into which an individual enters, modifying each event by his memory and his expectations. Each of us finds ourselves involved in all the things that happen to us almost as though we were observers standing aside and watching as well as participating. Through our culture we learn to separate our thinking about our lives from the living of them. Often our living seems to flow inescapably and inevitably along and all we can do is learn to understand the more important parts of it. That we might affect the way that flow of events …

Concurrent Session 2

In terms of the nature of the institution, we're an undergraduate liberal arts college. We offer a pretty full spectrum of concentrations. We're divided organizationally into three operating areas, the Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities, and offer some 20 to 25 areas of concentration, pretty much the conventional ones. But we also--and especially in our new program-have many ways in which students …

Featured Address of this issue of Perspectives is devoted entirely to the proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Association for General and Liberal Studies which was held at Oklahoma State University, October 18 through October 20, 1973.

This is a time of crisis, a crisis of immediate and direct concern to us- to all people who are interested in general education, in liberal learning, in educating people for a free society, and in the development of liberated, liberal, humane persons.

Shifting Ideals In Higher Education, Frederick F. Ritsch

Perspectives (1969-1979)

If a controlled equalitarian democracy is a real or even a present danger in higher education, then those in the academic professions should move now to at least clarify the meaning of a higher education. This could mean a much greater vigilance with regard to what is included under the heading of a university degree; it should certainly mean reconsideration of some areas which now receive higher education validation. It would mean our classrooms be less concerned with reinforcing the immediate than with the identification and elaboration of new and more productive modes of living. It would demand that higher …

Concurrent Session 3

I hate to start out on a negative note, but I must say that it is entirely possible (and I'll include our programs at Tarrant County Junior College) that community colleges have probably never tried general education. General education, of course, has many interpretations and definitions, but the one I'm speaking of we haven't yet tried.

Don't Just Talk About It, Daniel R. Kroll

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Like the weather, everyone seems to be talking about General Education but no one seems to be doing anything about it. For that matter many administrators wonder just what General Education really is. When an educator can remark that "General Education is anything outside a student's major," it is time for a redefinition of the constituent which distinguishes a baccalaureate degree from a trade school diploma.

The University Of Utah's Program Of General Education, Oakley J. Gordon

Perspectives (1969-1979)

This issue of Perspectives is devoted entirely to the proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Association for General and Liberal Studies which was held at Oklahoma State University, October 18 through October 20, 1973.

Concurrent Session 1

In order to present an idea of the course which the University of Utah has followed in regard to general education, Professor Gordon first read a portion of a paper which he had presented at a meeting of the American Association for Higher Education in 1970. See what he said in 1970, and then see what kind of prophet he was in …

The Presence And Promise Of The New Consciousness, Benjamin Mehrling

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The counter culture controversy-that is, the claims and denials over the arrival of a new kind of person, a new breed, a new sensibility- widely discussed in the late sixties, has reached a new level of intensity. The critics are now taking the initiative, putting forward arguments intended to show either that the youth movement has been faddish, ladened with contradictions, and a luxury of the "elitists," or that it never did exist except in the imaginations and wishes of its identifiers and "discoverers."

I believe the critics have largely failed to take into account just what the discoverers of …

Jonathan Harvey Coxgull: An Experiment In College Teaching, Francis L. Gross Jr.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

As a postscript I might add that my description of our classroom was not a chance prescript to this essay. It was intended as a symbol. It is a symbol of impersonality and sameness. My students study and live and eat in a decor similar to that room. There are roughly 20,000 of them at my school. They are strangers both to me and to each other on the first day of class each semester. If I am to get them to share experiences, and hence to aid each other in the learning process, I must somehow be an agent …

Creating A Climate For Learning (A Human Relations Approach), Robert W. Hayes, William E. Davis

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Studies seem to indicate that the traditional aptitudinal criteria for predicting academic success are severely limited in their ability to predict those who will succeed and those who will not succeed at the college level.

The Social Question In Liberal Education, Dale Porter

Perspectives (1969-1979)

In her book On Revolution (1965) Hannah Arendt makes a distinction between liberation and freedom which I want to relate to the function of liberal education in contemporary American society. The dilemma implied by that relation was developed by my students in a recent class discussion; it is on their behalf that I present it here.
