i Academics as a Vocation —

It seems to me that training equips. peo-
ple with skills in writing sonnets as well
Whether or not they have val-
ue in the job market, skills can be taught
and learned and measured.

Education, by contrast, equips people
with an understanding of how and why
thoses skills should be responsibly em-
ployed. An educated person, by defini-
tion, must have both skills and under-
standing. But I suspect that education
is more often imparted by personal exam-
ple than by lessons, and it is virtually
impossible to measure.

We've heard a lot about the coming era
when we will all have to go back to
school periodically to retrain for new
careers as our old ones become obsolete.
We should remember to save some classroom
space for the new philistines, who are
obsolete already. If they can just de-
velop some skill as painters or singers
or dancers, they'll always have something
to fall back on.

 

Housekeeping and Safety in the
Classroom

No food or drink should be taken ete the
classrooms. Restricted Building Service
Worker Staff cannot keep up classroom —

cleanliness if coffee spills, food and
‘garbage are left in classrooms.

Classrooms are non-smoking areas. Please
use the hallway waste receptacles for
paper waste only and ash trays only for
extinguishing your cigarettes. Recently
two incidents of fire in waste recept-
acles have occured.

~Your cooperation in maintaining our new

building as safe and clean as possible
is requested and necessary.

Thanks.
