Specialization

 

There is a problem with specialization - everything takes place in a pigeon-hole

- Aldous Huxley


Buckminster Fuller admonished the evils of excessive

specialization. 

Teaching has fallen into academic pigeon-holes.

 

"Everything takes place in a pigeon-hole. Pigeon-holes

cannot be avoided as we need specialization. 

But we need few people who run about the woodwork

between pigeon-holes - peep into all of them -

and see what can be done-

by this these folks are not closed to disciplines
