The Humanities, the Universities, and Public Policy.

Bennett, William J.

Educational Record, v62 n3 p30-34 Sum 1981

The most important contribution the humanities makes to public policy is the sound education of those who will make future public policy. The humanists' task is to provide continuity, to educate each generation about its intellectual, spiritual, moral, and political birthright from which public policy must flow. (MLW)
