I Think One Thing That Does Cause

Universities Are Institutions Run By Amateurs To Train Professionals.

Despite The Hours Spent Debating Different Models Of General Education, The Choices Faculties Make Rarely Lead To Any Significant Difference In The Cognitive Development Of Undergraduates.

Education, And I Regret To Say This As An Educator, But There's No Indication That Education Has A Direct Effect On Happiness.

For Some Students, Especially In The Sciences, The Knowledge Gained In College May Be Directly Relevant To Graduate Study. For Almost All Students, A Liberal Arts Education Works In Subtle Ways To Create A Web Of Knowledge That Will Illumine Problems And Enlighten Judgment On Innumerable Occasions In Later Life.

I Think Any Self-respecting Educational Institution Ought To Judge Its Policies By Its Best Estimate Of What Their Long-term Consequences For Their Students And For The Society Will Be.
