THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS The idea of making a life and making a living has been a theme of Oglethorpe University for many years. When the curriculum was revised in 1944 and during the revisions of die curriculum in subsequent years, this idea has been given additional form. The catalogue states: The Oglethorpe idea in a few words is to forge the strongest possible links between the academic and practical, between human knowledge and know-how, between culture and proficiency, between past and present. We are persuaded there is ultimately no contradiction between the concepts represented in each of these usually divorced parts. For more than two tliousand years, the general theory of the purposes of education has been divided into two opposing camps, one insisting that the purpose of education is to adjust the individual to society and to satisfy his material and social needs and the other camp insisting that the purpose of education is the development in the student of an understanding of the role of man in history and culture. Both of these ideals are val- uable in themselves, but it is a mistake to regard them as mutually exclusive. It is the purpose of Oglethorpe to bring these ideas together into a pattern so that whatever voca- tion is selected ultimately by the student, he may bring to it not only proficiency and basic skills, but an understanding of his significance and his obligations. The curriculum at Oglethorpe insures that the student may not during his college experience be concerned exclusively with either education for making a living or education for making a life, but rather with a synthesis of these ideas. The mere creation of a curriculum, however, does not insure a well-balanced educa- tional experience. Such a balance is ultimately the responsibility of the student. It is hoped that an environment may be created in which this synthesis may take place, and that Oglethorpe students may discover for themselves the relationships that give value to experience, enrichment to life, and a sense of social obligation. — Donald C. Agnew, President
