Social Science 5 what you hear is this: VC ' e ' ll talk about Hberal arts when the war is over. Now is the time to crush the Axis. A fellow doesn ' t need no training in liberal arts to stick his bayonet into a Jap. I could go even further: you don ' t need to know how to read or write to shoot straight. And if such is your present occu- pation, I am strongly against disturbing you. As far as you are concerned, liberal arts can wait and should wait. But there are aho thousands of students, equipping themselves for war and peace responsibilities, soon to be theirs. The country will need officers, civil servants, executives of every description. Should these future leaders and their auxiliaries dis- pense with the liberal arts? Yes, perhaps, if your ambition is to be and stay a private (or the equiv.ilent) . With technical skill you can become a sergeant. It ' s a different story when it comes to being promoted a lieutenant, that ' s all. No sooner had the Allies landed in Al- geria, than officers were in demand for deal- ing with local authorities, attending inter- allied meetings, and many such jobs. With an invasion of Europe, what of the social, judicial, educative problems that will mul- tiply? Liberal arts are keys to the understanding of the outer world. Keys are not just orna- mental gadgets. Keys open doors. Pi atte c c M ' anux 1 .. l Jtk. JOHN T. ANDREWS A.B..
