[Glossary] Expert Ignoramuses


1. (Clark 1988, 14-15): "On the other hand, the requirements on students intending to enter professional schools were raised so far as their technical subjects were concerned. There were pre-law, pre-medical, pre-engineering, pre-dental courses. These courses on the whole provided excellent technical training, and with the crowding out of the liberal arts they produced expert ignoramuses, efficient cogs in somebody's machine."
