Raised in our culture and educated in our schools, students today are, at least in principle, asked to re-examine the thought of their teachers. Such Ideals have not always been pre-eminent.

Without doubt, our contemporary "protector-s of the good· would appear shocicinoly liberal when compared to their nineteenthcentury colleagues. And yet it often seems to be the case that the more steadfast the position of one camp, the more vociferous the demands of its opposition. There seems to be something about modern youth which strives for self-expression and, perhaps more Importantly, there appear to exist certain qualities in post-eighteenth century societies which are especially receptive and conducive to the ideas associated with change. |
