Page "learned" Paragraph 860

There is no doubt that higher education since World War 2, has moved away from `` pure '' liberal education toward greater emphasis on technology and specialization.

There are several causes for this, one being rapid economic development with increasing numbers of of middle-class positions requiring engineering or scientific training.

But another cause may lie in the experience of so many new postwar faculty members with their own use of education as a means of social advancement.
