Last December, David Leonhardt, a member of the Yale College class of 1994, identified with crystal clarity the issues we face in the form of a picture he published in The New York Times— a budget Sudoku. In this brilliant graphical display, he demonstrated that no combination of discretionary spending cuts could close the Federal budget gap by 2020. The only way to do so involves some combination of reducing Social Security benefits, controlling Medicare and Medicaid costs, reducing defense spending, and raising taxes (or, at least, allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire). David's Sudoku allowed his readers to see the big picture clearly, and he was rewarded with the Pulitzer Prize.
I am going to make the audacious claim that David's Yale education has had a lot to do with his ability to see the big picture. He experienced, just as you will over the next four years, exposure to a variety of disciplines —in his case, mathematics, economics, politics, and history, as well as physics and art history. This broad education has allowed him to look beyond the small-mindedness of what politicians say to interpret the larger trends driving the economy and society. He also learned to write clearly, analytically, and forcefully. He mastered this essential tool not only through his English courses but also through his principal extracurricular activity as a reporter for and subsequently as editor of the Yale Daily News.
David Leonhardt is but one of many visible examples of the profound way in which the liberal arts education you are about to experience can help you to develop the capacity to see the big picture. By sampling courses across a wide range of disciplines, you will learn to see problems from multiple perspectives. And by learning to think critically and analytically, you will become disinclined to accept simplified slogans as truth, more able to see subtle interconnections, more capable of forging solutions that embrace complexity without being overwhelmed by it. No matter what subjects you choose to pursue in depth, you will be required in your first two years to develop some breadth, and you will be challenged to think for yourselves — independently and analytically.

去年十二月,David Leonhardt,1994的耶鲁学院类的一个成员,确定清晰的我们在他发表在纽约时报预算数独图片的形式面对的问题。在这个辉煌的图形显示,他表明,不结合自由裁量削减开支可能会关闭联邦预算缺口2020。要做到这一点,唯一的办法是减少社会保障福利,控制医疗保险和医疗补助费用,减少国防开支,提高税收(或至少允许布什减税到期)的一些组合。戴维的数独让读者清楚地看到更大的画面,他获得了普利策奖。
我想,戴维的大学教育有很多跟他能够看到大局的大胆要求。他经历了,正如你将在未来四年,接触到各种学科-在他的情况下,数学,经济学,政治,历史,以及物理学和艺术史。这种广泛的教育使他超越政治家所说解释的大趋势推动经济和社会的狭隘。他还学会了写清楚,

和有力。他不仅通过他的英语课程掌握了这个基本的工具,而且还通过他的主要课外活动作为一名记者,后来成为耶鲁日报的编辑.。
David Leonhardt只不过是其中一个在文科教育要经验可以帮助您发展看大图片的能力深刻可见的例子。通过在广泛的学科中取样课程,你将学会从多个角度看问题.。并通过学习批判性的思考和分析,你会不愿意接受事实简化的口号,更能看出细微的互连,更能锻造的解决
