...those who claim that this goal is beyond attainment, we would cite those present Gen Ed courses which do an excellent job of giving the student a broad, usable vocabulary, i.e., Nat Sci 5, Hum 6, Soc Sci 2. For example, Nat Sci 5 combines physics, chemistry and biology in giving the student tools to gain insight into a wide range of scientific topics. Similarly, Soc Sci 2 and Hum 6 allow the student to read history or literature with a greatly enhanced sense of perspective. On the other hand, a course like Nat Sci 10 is too narrowly conceived...
Beautiful, what? Then, Lampy gives us an idea of what they can come up with when Crimeds feel sufficiently in the clear for a bona-fide dump. Take this evaluation of a spurious Hum 2 section...

While ardent Hum 6-ers assiduously jot down every word of often meaningless lectures, wobbly young students gather at the feet of Professor John Dunlop to learn the latest styles in strikes and collective bargaining (Ec 129). Those interested in Metropolis, Gotham and Megalopolis should stop in to hear Professor Banfield explain "Urban Policy Problems" (Gov 146). Music 1 teaches students the difference between a monotone and a metronome...
