As a Professor of mine at Michigan once said, getting an undergraduate degree does not assume that you KNOW anything, but it does assume that you now know how to ask the RIGHT questions. Now, I am not even sure that hold true.
Excuse me, don't excuse me, but this was always BS in the first place.
Ask Professor V.D. Hanson what the object of a 4-year, Liberal Arts education was ORIGINALLY all about. True, there was always B.S. but once there were lofty ideals, no?
