You can either do something very well, and in great depth, or you can do a bunch of things lightly. It’s a choice of how you spend your time.

True. However it used to be the standard of doing a bunch of things lightly at the college level was mathematics through calculus, a reasonable encounter with basic sciences and having read some of the great books.

These days it seems to be deft twittering skills and knowledge of reality tv shows.
