...growing specialization of professional academics naturally shaped the education of non-professionals. Professors who win tenure for books on 13th century lead mining are not likely to encourage their students to take interdisciplinary approaches to learning. The idea of a senior thesis is clearly derived from graduate school practice, and departments often require undergraduate theses to be as specialized as graduate ones.

One senior, who also happened to have been "prepared" at a private school in England, suggested that in every case the administration knows how best to prepare us for our future roles as society's elite. "The student's only responsibility and only right is to accomplish his studies," he said...
