Harvard aspires to provide every undergraduate with a broad liberal arts education. This noble goal has been the driving force behind recent efforts to replace the unwieldly General Education system with a rigidly defined Core Curriculum.

The late Harvard president, James Bryant Conant, in a 1945 report entitled "General Education in a Free Society," maintained that an educated graduate must complete courses in three broad categories-the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities. But with the loosening of requirements, the growth of specialized courses and the permissiveness of the 1960s, the general education idea all but disappeared. Easy courses that could be used to satisfy the requirements, such as "History 1380: European Oceanic Discovery, Trade...
