"Yale's greatest contribution to her
students consists in teaching them:
I. What the term education means,
and II. That they are not possessed
of such a thing." Such is the rather
harsh indictment of the Yale educational machine made by the student
council in its report on Yale pedagogy.
The outstanding criticism is that
Yale, like other institutions of higher
learning, has failed to adjust her curriculum to the "unprecedented body
of knowledge
of the modern age. and
has become, as a result, far too de
partmentalized.
The freshman is confronted with
a great array of courses, each separate and distinct from the others, and
scant effort is made to help him orient himself. He is simply set loose
in the sea of Yale culture, with certain technical and at times unintelligent "group requirements" as guides.
At the end of four years he finds that
he has a wide smattering of knowledge in numerous field; he has taken
