  • Chaos and Creativity: Liberal Education for the 21St Century David Oxtoby, Pomona College Colby College Bicentennial, April 8, 2013
    Chaos and Creativity: Liberal Education for the 21st Century David Oxtoby, Pomona College Colby College Bicentennial, April 8, 2013 I am a chemist as well as a college president, and in thinking about the goals of higher education I often return to two general methods that intertwine through the study of chemistry: analysis and synthesis. In analysis, chemists may take a complex mixture and break it down into separate substances through chromatography, or take a single substance and use spectroscopy to find its atomic structure. In synthesis, chemists work in the opposite direction, taking a series of simple materials (ideally, off the shelf) and combine them to make a more complex compound with particular chemical properties. Chemists go back and forth between these two approaches in their everyday work. For example, a chemist might take a natural product with certain desirable medicinal properties, purify it, and analyze it to determine its structure; then she might develop a synthesis to prepare the product from commonly available starting materials. I begin an essay on the future of liberal education with the concepts of analysis and synthesis because I believe the processes inherent in each—breaking down and putting together— characterize many of the activities central to our college curricula. Let me explain. A great deal of learning involves analysis, taking something complex and breaking it into simpler pieces that we already understand, or that we can focus on sequentially. In an English class we may do a close reading of a poem, looking at it line by line to see the use of language, meter, or metaphor.
