The primary obligation that college faculties have in improving education in world affairs is to determine whether the traditional approaches to the subject, adequate and useful in their own time, still meet the needs of our undergraduates. Just as scholars at the turn of the century had to make room for colleagues seeking to understand and interpret world politics in terms larger than those of law and history, so must scholars today allow for teaching and research in world af fairs in terms larger still. To learn about world affairs, students need an atmosphere where they can begin to see the wholeness of knowledge, where they can take courses that relate the areas of knowledge to one another, and where they understand that even if it is impossible today to take all knowledge to be their province, they can still derive something significant from the entire range of liberal arts and sciences. Though faculties cannot by themselves remove all the obstacles between them and an ideal world
