SCIENCE. It's that thing with formulas and stuff.
At Columbia, discussions about Frontiers of Science are so common that even by sophomore year I, like most of my classmates, have become uninterested in talking, reading, or doing anything that might call to mind the horrible memory that was that graduation requirement seemingly designed to enrage and stupify everyone.
Not suprisingly, in the recent editorial about the subject, the author offers not, as she claims in the title, a “new perspective on Frontiers of Science” but rather a fairly bland summary of the few arguments in favor of not entirely eliminating the course. And, yes, while the counterarguments have been offered up time and time again, this article seems to be the perfect opportunity for a rehashing of the arguments against Frontiers.
