Excerpt from Brown Alumni Monthly, Vol. 89: February, 1989 Perhaps the formation of the Cam pus Compact signifies a renewed effort on the part of university heads to exam ine what, after all, they aim to teach students. Once that analysis has taken place, they can address how to go about it. The compact has the potential to ef fectively enhance students' understand ing of their role in the world community experientially. It could, by strengthening the service ethic, go a long way toward enhancing students' ethical brawn, but I would argue that it could only do so by teaching through the curriculum. I would strongly urge members of the compact to work hard to try to actu ally tie service directly into the curricu lum, to financial aid to anything that makes service an integral part of under graduate education. Without a serious commitment by the university to the moral education of its students on this level, the American undergraduate edu cation will, I think, become little more than a vehicle that, in fact, ensures deepening economic and social divi sions between ourselves and the under privileged populations the compact hopes to serve. As the world becomes increasingly complex and unstable, I cringe at the potential ramifications. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
