I am curious as to how Wallace would respond to today's universities/colleges. What advice would he have for the youth wanting a higher education?

The "Joy in taking responsilibity" was one of the reason why we had the best soldiers between 1870 (or even earlier) and 1945. They had their orders but could easily substitute leaders because even the regular soldier was schooled in taking over the responsilibities.

The funny think is that older generations from my family never said anything negative about school if they graduated before the 1970ies. When I went to school in the 90ies it sucked for everyone involved (teachers and pupils). Did we loose the joy of responsilibity in the meantime?

This goes right to the heart of the question - what does modern education really consist of? Is it only specialized training in a given field ? It is only the “liberal arts? Or is it a combination of those?
