Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Institute of Consulting Engineers: Proceedings of the Annual Meeting Held January, 15, 1940 He proceeded to put the grand idea into effect, and found that they could catch more fish that way than they had ever been able to snatch with their bare hands. The little woolly horses didn't like the change in climate, so they migrated long distances away, to a climate that suited them better. And so there were no little woolly horses to Club, and the second part of the curriculum no longer was a utilitarian study. The saber-toothed tigers were subject to pneumonia, and the glacial dampness and cold did away with all of them, so the third part of the curriculum no longer had any utilitarian value. Generations went on. Finally some curious, thoughtful mem ber of the tribe began to complain to the teachers: Why can't you teach fish catching with nets, instead of these old outmoded studies that you are teaching? And the teaching fraternity, deeply Shocked, replied with great dignity that those were the great and hoary traditions of education, and those subjects were taught for their cultural value. (laughter.) Now, I believe in liberal arts courses. Nothing that I say tonight Should be taken as saying that I do not believe in them. My disbelief is in the statements of those who insist or claim that in those courses reside all of the cultural values of education. There are such, but fortunately, I do not believe there are so many as there used to be. Perhaps the time has come when I should define to you what I think are the attributes of a cultured man. A definition of this sort is a very difficult one to make and, whatever I may say, prob ably every other man in the room would make one somewhat different. So I am going to give you permission to make your own definition as I go along, whatever it may be, and see whether we really seriously disagree or not.
