PASSAGE III
With the inevitable growth of specialization I see the universities facing two great dangers. First, it is very easy to get so involved in the technical details of education that the object of education is lost. And secondly, in an effort to condition a university to the needs of its students and to the needs of the State it may lose its power to make or mould those students into responsible men, capable of thinking for themselves and capable of expressing the results of their thoughts to others.
Which one of the following statements most correctly suggests the warning implied in the passage?
EnglishComprehension
- AUniversity education should not be concerned with technical details
- BUniversities should not subordinate themselves to the interests of the State
- CUniversities should be concerned only with the needs of students
- DUniversities should not go in for any specialization
Explanation
The second danger is conditioning the university to the needs of the State, losing its moulding power.
