Liberal Arls Courses Play Part
In Teaching Sfidents Why We Fight
, • Teaching students why we are
fighting is fully as important as
teaching them bow to fight and
how to make machines of de
struction, according to Dr. William
S. Dye, head of the department
•of English literature. . •
• In urging continued emphasis
on Liberal Arts studies, Dr. Dye
warned against the . danger of
over-stressing technical courses to
the exclusion of - thOse. studies
which analyze the bases of our
democracy.
• "In a democracy, transforming
men into automatons is unthink
able," he said. "Therefore Lib
eral Arts studies are necessary to
provide reasons for action."
Easier communication has
made warfare possible on three
fronts, Dr. Dye pointed out. These
fronts, none of which can be un
derestimated, are •the battle front,
the economic front, and the pro
paganda or "idea" front.
•Scientific and technical schools
are, of course, necessary to pro,
duce the sinews of war,. but it is
the liberal. studies which -instill
the ideals for which men work
and fight, .he. added. Both the

economic front, with its questions
of finance and. distribution of
raw materials, and the idea front
are in the field of liberal arts.
Especially is this true of lang
uages which provide a medium
for. understanding the propagan
da of our enemies through radio,
and for the dissemination. of our
own propaganda, the • literature
head went on to Say.
Freedom • of politigpl choice,
freedom of thought, ad freedom
of religion are all in the realm of
ideas, and on their proper inter
pretation rests the value of the
post-war world,. Dr. Dye believes.
"Dealing with material things
and dealing with ideas are not
mutually exclusive," he pointed
out. "They edge into, each oth
er's fields ; 'and praise of one does
not mean disparagement of the
other. •
"Already the• dissemination Sof
ideas has played a large part in
this conflict, and the future will
make even greater ►demands on
those whose cultural background
will determine_ the course of fu
ture. generations," -he concluded/
