Princeton Hears Axt On General Education

In a speech delivered to the Princeton Undergraduate Bicentennial Conference Saturday afternoon, Student Council President Richard G. Axt '46 outlined the progress, and purposes of the University's General Education program as it appears to men enrolled in the courses.

"While success in a profession today of ten requires a high degree of specialized training, the success of our democratic society must be based on an understanding of its common aims and values," Axt said.

"What is clear today, is that major subjects are chosen primarily for vocational motives with little though of what particular 'intellectual disciplines' may be involved," he asserted.
