I belong to the college of Liberal Arts. At Tokyo university, freshmen and sophomores have to belong to the faculty. As educational revolution has been put into practice, the liberal arts school disappeared from a lot of universities. However, Tokyo university and a few other universities decided to still have the faculty. WHY? I think there is an important meaning though it may be out of step with the flowing of educational world.
Today, my Chinese teacher told his idea about that. He argued that universities are the place where professors teach their students what doesn't seem to be useful to get a good job or become richer. As you know, there is a conflist about education at universities. Some argue the same thing as my Chinese teacher. The others argue that universities should be the place where professors teach their students vocational things. I can understad both. However I also think that the former is better interpretation of universities' meaning. I'd like to describe the reasons in the paragraphes that follow.
One reason is that we cannot study them only at universities. My Chienese teacher also told that universities are the museum that exhibit the predecessors' thoughts and inventions. We can study vocational things in other places. But it is difficult to come in contact with what we cannot use soon in the world. Can we find such comprehensive museum except universities?
The other reason is that we need to survey the world from verious viewpoinrs. Have you ever felt that the atmospher of universities is different from that of the outside? A university is one community. A big wall surrounds a university. My teacher also explained that; we, university students stand the outside of the forest and can view the whole of the forest. That is to say, we can go out of the world (or society) and survey it. We can assess the logic of the world more relatively. It is very important for us because what people want us to do is to have wide-ranging applications.He said so, and I think it is true. The world keeps changing though we sometimes feel that it doesn't change at all. (If you doubt it, please read some old essays of the social sciences or some old magagines.) In order to adapt ourselves to the world, and lead the world, we need to put our knowledge and experience to practical use. So, universities play a very important role. However, it is not enough.When we think about having wide-ranging applications, universities sould provide a lot of ways to approach the world. This is because we cannot survey the world from a various viewpoints if we don't study lots kinds of things. It is not meaningful very much.
From the reasons above, I think that universities should teach as many subjects as possible and the college of liberal arts is necessary for us. What do you think?

It's seems to be paradoxical but・・・
Q-chan さん
I agree with you about the opinion that universities should provide the world with various view points.Because of this，however，I don't like the opinion that universities should lead the world. I will make an explanation someday.(I'm sorry I have little time today)
