It wasJanuary of 1940 and I was fresh out of graduate school starting my first semester at the University of Kansas City. Part of the student body was a beanpole with hair on top who came into my class, sat down， folded his arms， and looked at me as if to say “all right, teach me something." Two weeks later we started Hamlet. Three weeks later he came into my office with his hands on his hips。
“Look,” he said, “I came here to be a pharmacist。
Why do I have to read this stuff？”and not havinga book of his own to point to， he pointed to mine which was lying on the desk。
2.New as I was to the faculty, I could have told this specimen a number of things.I could have pointed out that he had enrolled, not in a drugstore-mechanics school,but in a college and that at the end of his course meant to reach for a scroll that read Bachelor of Science. It would not read: Qualified Pill—Grinding Technician.It would certify that he had specialized in pharmacy， but it would further certify that he had been exposed to some of the ideas mankind has generated within its history.That is to say， he had not entered a technical training school but a university and in universities students enroll for both training and education。
