Debate about the liberal arts in the Los Angeles Times

An interesting article was printed in the LA Times last week about the liberal arts. What do you think?

“If recent trends hold true, most of the 3 million freshmen starting at U.S. colleges this fall will choose majors that prepare them for careers rather than majors in the liberal arts. Department of Education data show that students are opting for engineering, education or criminology instead of more traditional majors such as history, philosophy or even mathematics. Part of the trend can be explained by students seeking degrees that will allow them to step into jobs upon graduating. But that is only part of the reason for the eclipse of the liberal arts.”

Save the Sarah Lawrence Course Catalogue

The Official Petition to Retain the Sarah Lawrence College Course Catalogue for 2011-2012 and Beyond

“Remember, if you will, move-in day your first year. (If you can’t remember, go dig out your student ID, look at your grinning, baby-faced self on it, and then return to reading.) Remember, tucked in the back of the packet you were given, a slim paperback that you flipped through, looking at page upon page of catchy course titles, professor bios and lists of courses offered in the last four years, and sitting on your bed, excitedly marking EVERY class you wanted to take.

The Sarah Lawrence Course Catalog is a tradition on campus. Generations of students have carried dog-eared, highlighted copies of it from interview to interview, making notes in the margins and comparing courses with friends. 

Unfortunately, the college is planning to eliminate the catalog and go digital beginning this school year. We cannot let this happen! The catalog is the most tactile and succinct representation of our academic year, it’s an academic yearbook, and at Sarah Lawrence, that’s as important as a social one! Surely there are other ways the college can negotiate being cost effective and environmentally conscious and still maintain this basic service to its students.

Time is short. Catalogues would need to go to the printer soon! “Like” this page and help us save it!”

Rosamond Bernier, Sarah Lawrence girl. Her memoir will be published this fall:

Some of My Lives:
A Scrapbook Memoir

by Rosamond Bernier
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
to be published October 2011

From the publisher:

Some of My Lives: A Scrapbook Memoir is an informal story of an unusually full life, remarkable for its vividness and diversity of experience.

Rosamond Bernier’s memoirs span several continents, beginning in the United States, in Philadelphia, continuing to Mexico and then on to France, where she lived for several decades in Paris running the art review she co-founded, L’OEIL, and finally returning to the United States where she became renowned as a lecturer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and all over the country.

Through Rosamond Bernier’s stories of her encounters with some of the twentieth century’s great artists and musicians — including Picasso, Matisse, Giacometti, Max Ernst, Louise Bourgeois, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Simon Rattle, and colorful individuals such as Malcolm Lowery and Karl Lagerfeld — we come to understand the sheer richness of her experiences, interactions and memories.

The result is a multi-faceted self-portrait of a life informed and surrounded by the arts. It is pithy, hilarious, and wise — a rewarding chronicle of many lives fully lived.

Available on Amazon.com.
