Back to the factory: Burr critiques college life
PHILADELPHIA—Dr. Charles W. Burr of the University of Pennsylvania argues most students lack native ability for college work. He says education has lowered its bar to accommodate all, pushing many toward degree paths that lead to “nice jobs” for overeducated but not bright youths. He criticizes courses like soup making as unsuitable for higher education.
