The Universality of University

What was supposed to be a skill in the past has now wormed its way into the university curriculum and became a field of study. They are only means of survival arisen from this ever-complex world of ours because we have so sadly degraded to a state where material importance overrides that of spiritual's.
             Why do men need to be educated if trade itself is a skill? I don't think that any man who has finished a 3 or 4 years' training' in the university for a business degree' can stand out to be a successful businessman right after he graduate from school. Quoting the word of Prof. Stephen Leacock, here was a young man whose training was destined inevitably to turn him into a moral businessman, either that or nothing. In fact, I can hardly imagine that the training helps the least about it. This is in effect too low a skill to be learnt. If university education is meant for this and only the kind of this, then I would rather have no education at all. .
             Where have all the intellects gone? Where have all the truths of this world gone? It seems that nobody's interested in them any more. We can find no more passion in today's students, not the least but, they have no passion for life but reality. They are trained to accept and yield to what lies in front of them, but not to reflect upon and get to the root of the phenomenon. They are trained to receive but not to ask. They dare not ask because that implies a sidestep from the well and carefully designed path their parents have long prepared for them "and hope them to follow down to the inch "by which act would stamp them as outcasts of this society.
             Some argued that the purpose of education is to serve the society by providing what is most needed and beneficial to the world we're living in.
