In physics, for example, a course in particle theory could be used as a specific standpoint from which to develop an understanding of the modern scientific method which has a far more general application than the subject immediately at hand. Similar courses in biology, chemistry and physiology can easily be envisioned, and they would serve a purpose beyond their theoretical value. They would enable the Committee on General Education to obtain...
