Passage B    To understand the nature of the liberal arts college and its function in our society, it is important to understand thedifference between education and training.

Our training centers---the professional and trade schools---fulfill these needs.   Although education is for the improvement of the individual, it also serves the society by providing a leavening of menand women of understanding, of perception and wisdom. They are our intellectual leaders, the critics of our culture, thedefenders of our free traditions, the instigators of our progress. They serve the society by examining its function, appraising itsneeds, and criticizing its direction. They may be earning their livings by practicing one of the professions, or in pursuing atrade, or by engaging in business enterprise. They may be rich or poor. They may occupy positions of power and prestige, orthey may be engaged in some humble employment. Without them, however, the society either disintegrates or else becomes ananthill.
