Abstract
THE SPECIALIST tends to forget that he has a community task to perform and that what he does impinges on the life of the community. The purpose of those in technical education who shape courses in liberal studies is to correct the imbalance that follows from an undue concentration on a narrow range of activity. Liberal education is thus, not the teaching of any particular activity, but the drawing together of the various parts of the individual's life so that living becomes a single social act.
