The Humanities vs. Careerism.
Saunders, William S.
Improving College and University Teaching, v30 n4 p149-51 Fall 1982
The present crisis of careerism versus liberal arts is a blessing in disguise, forcing humanities faculty to adjust their teaching and thinking to basic questions of value and use. They will have to demonstrate to students that the humanities provide profoundly useful, life-enhancing skills that one has a responsibility to develop. (Author/MSE)
