Are Colleges Still Important.either to the World or theStudents?

People everywhere areraising questions of this nature.Why should we continue to putso much effort and money intocolleges when their very pur­pose and benefit to students andsociety are 00 l<mger clear?Most would agree that thepurpose of a college is toeducate its students in theknowledge necessary for themto achieve their maximumpotential, both for themselvesand for those around them.However, there is littleagreement about why and howthis should be done.

"The concept of knowledge asa tool has never had widersignificance, even among theyoung." "Knowledge, like anyother tool, is only as valuable asthe use to which we put it." Itcan be used for gooo or evil, tobuild up or to tear down, towage war or plan peace. As oneeconomic historian noted, "Inthe last 20 years, the base of oureconomy has shifted frO'mmanual work to knowledgework, and the center of gravityof our social expenditure fromgoods to knowledge." A collegebrings together the tools ofknowledge: experience inhuman relationships, books,classrooms, professors andstudents eager to make ourworld a better place. As theyoung commit themselves tocreating a better world, wemust make available the skillsand knowledge they'll need to'handle the awesome respon­sibility.

What Real and Distinctive

Contribution Can the ChurchCollege Make?
