| The introduction of many minds into many fields of learning along a broad spectrum keeps alive questions about the accessibility, if not the unity, of knowledge. | Knowledge, Learning | 101| The role of a liberal arts college within a university is to be a genuine part of that university, giving and responding to the other parts. | | 102| The concept of reason itself appears as an artificial attempt to separate intellectual powers from the frustrations, emotions, and accidents which cause events; the concept of reason is viewed as facade to prevent change. | | 103| Law builds upon and, I should like to claim, is one of the liberal arts. It uses words of persuasion and changing definitions for practical ends. | | 104| As an instrument for practical action, law is responsive to the wisdom of its time, which may be wrong, but it carries forward, sometimes in opposition to this wisdom or passion, a memory of received values. | Wisdom | 105| The University conceives of itself as dedicated to the power of the intellect. Its commitment is to the way of reason. | | 106| Universities are the custodians not only of the many cultures of man, but of the rational process itself. | | 107 | | | | | | |
