In Search of Wisdom
Vaccaro, Louis C.
Improving College and University Teaching, 23, 3, 152-3, Sum 75
Arguing that students' demand for relevance is for wisdom rather than for utilitarian knowledge, and that it is caused by poor teaching, particularly in the liberal arts, the author emphasizes the individual teacher's responsibility to communicate the proper view of education, to lead students in their search for wisdom.
