If You Think The Cost Of Education

I Won't Say There Aren't Any Harvard Graduates Who Have Never Asserted A Superior Attitude. But They Have Done So To Our Great Embarrassment And In No Way Represent The Harvard I Know.

Critics Of American Colleges Typically Attribute The Failings Of Undergraduate Education To A Tendency On The Part Of Professors To Neglect Their Teaching To Concentrate On Research. In Fact, The Evidence Does Not Support This Thesis, Except Perhaps In Major Research Universities.

Doctoral Training Is Devoted Almost Entirely To Learning To Do Research, Even Though Most Ph.ds Who Enter Academic Life Spend Far More Time Teaching Than They Do Conducting Experiments Or Writing Books.

For Some Students, Especially In The Sciences, The Knowledge Gained In College May Be Directly Relevant To Graduate Study. For Almost All Students, A Liberal Arts Education Works In Subtle Ways To Create A Web Of Knowledge That Will Illumine Problems And Enlighten Judgment On Innumerable Occasions In Later Life.

I Think One Thing That Does Cause Unhappiness Is Protracted Anxiety And Worry.
