当我开始为海洋科学专业的学生教授海洋生物生物学入门课程时，我坚信，这些一年级的学生不仅必须接触到他们学科的科学核心，而且必须接触到它与更广泛的文科的关系，以及这些学科反过来如何看待海洋和海洋生物。这曾经是一种常态。例如，1872年，当时在牛津大学担任美术教授的约翰·罗斯金认为，向那些不打算从事艺术的人提供艺术欣赏是他的责任，作为包括科学在内的文科教育的一部分。1但20世纪中叶的一篇社论《奋进》中的《科学教育》指出，自维多利亚时代以来，科学的发展和专业化，以及高等教育日益增长的费用，已经模糊了这一愿景：“现代科学人回到过去更自由的培训和观点可能对他们有利，对他们的工作也有利。
When I began teaching an introductory course on the biology of marine organisms for marine-science majors, it was with the conviction that these first-year students must be exposed not only to the scientific core of their discipline, but also to its relationship to the broader liberal arts and how these in turn have viewed the oceans and marine life. Such used to be the norm. For example, in 1872 John Ruskin, while the professor of fine art at Oxford University, viewed it as his responsibility to provide an appreciation of art to those who did not intend to practice it, as part of a liberal education that included the sciences.1 But a mid-twentieth-century editorial, “Education for Science” in Endeavour, indicated how the growth and specialization of science, together with the increasing expense of higher education, already had dimmed this vision since the Victorian era: “A return by modern men of science to the more liberal training and outlook of former days might be to their advantage, and the advantage of their work.”2
