LIBRARIES: A LIBERAL ELEMENT IN TECHNICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

A month or two ago, when Mr. Wilson first asked me to undertake this assignment and to deliver this paper, I was naturally fearful of what might lie before me. Was I expected to criticize present trends in technical education, at a moment when the nation is crying out for more of it? Should I be urging the claims of a liberal education in a den of technological lions? At least it is a comfort to find this morning that the lions, and their den, look amiable enough; some of you at least appear to have been weighed on some bathroom balance and not found wanting.
