Some thoughts on unmediated learning

I am pleased to share this president's report for the 1997-98 academic year with the readers of Lawrence Today. As has been the case in prior years, this report is a rendition of my matriculation address to the college community, and while the audience in the first instance consisted of students and faculty, I hope that the message will also prove to be of interest to Lawrence's alumni and friends, the former presumably being in the best position to validate the claims I forward for the consequences of liberal learning.

he beginning of a new colleges, long-distance learning, and degrees academic year seems offered through the Internet. Still others lament inevitably to bring with it the deplorable preparation of students for renewed and refreshed college work, complaining that remediation scrutiny and criticism of rather than higher learning has become the higher education.

On a rather more somber note, another recent - though hardly novel - trend has been for higher education to be lambasted for not paying sufficient attention to the need to "max­ imize profitability." As one author put it, "the groves of academe have become a battleground between the forces of liberal education and the regiments of capitalism." Thorstein Veblen had a similar view in 1916, when he excoriated those "captains of erudition" who ran our colleges and universities and for whom "learning and university instruc­ confidence in the long-term wortl1 of the educa­ tion are a species of skilled labor, to be hir.ed at tion students seek and secure here.

In any case, one conclu­ intrinsic and instrumental values and conse­ sion about higher education today is that "the quences of liberal learning, which we find bol­ regiments of capitalism are winning, and the stered by the track record of our alumni and champions of the life of the mind are in retreat." affirmed by the assessments of business and civic leaders who support our purposes.

And Percy concludes: "The highest point, the term of the sightseer's satisfaction, is not the sovereign discovery of the thing before him; it is rather the measuring up of the thing to the cri­ terion of the preformed symbolic complex." The sightseer who seeks to experience such sovereign discovery might, Percy argues, leave the beaten track, wander off away from the official viewing vistas to find a new and private place from which to see the canyon, a strategy that would be immediately frustrated if the National Park Ser­ vice posted notices saying "Consult ranger for information on getting off the beaten track.

One way in which we can overcome this is to be open to, indeed to seek out and relish, new experiences and private moments where we seek to assert our own fresh confrontation with and appreciation of objects, and places, and texts, and ideas. Some of this behavior will be in some sense contrived, I recognize.

This way of entirety, not excerpted selections or secondhand teaching prevents the student from becoming versions of them. And while faculty members truly human. lecture on these works, students are nonetheless "Knowledge emerges," Freire writes, "only encouraged to confront them directly. Indeed, through invention and reinvention, through the faculty members themselves model this behavior restless, impatient, continuing, hopeful inquiry by confronting works outside their disciplines men [and women] pursue in the world, with the and beyond their expertise, and thus they too world, and with each other." engage such texts afresh and directly as well.

Uses of Funds Received

The Lawrence Fund The Lawrence Fund, while not matching last year's $2.71 million, came in at $2,365,958.

*Although the figures here presented are in compliance with standards adopted by CASE (Council for the Advance­ ment and Support of Education) and NACUBO (National Association of College Business Officers), they differ from the presentation of gift income on the college's financial statements. This report includes both gifts and payments on pledges received during 1997-98 but excludes new pledges received during the fisca l year. Financial statement gift income, on the other hand, augments these numbers by the value of new pledges received during the year and reduces them by the value of payments made on pledges received in prior fiscal years.
