100 years ago, learning Greek and/or Latin was a large part of all there was to study. Now we have multitudes of fields and subfields regularly generating actual demonstrable progress in the capabilities of humanity, few of which require knowing anything about Thermistocles.

Learning Greek and/or Latin was done as a) a mental exercise and b) a way to access an ancient body of knowledge that was basically considered something any educated person should know. Your statement that there was nothing else to learn is highly ignorant.

At some point, your program decided to compromise on the things that weren't necessary to reach the advanced levels, so that they had room to get people there at all during their undergrad.

Yeah, to reach advanced levels where the bulk of their graduates don't have to understand the English language well, and the CS grads don't know what a pointer is or how memory works.

I'm going to assume for my own mental health that you're a troll.

Well, it's possible that you're both right, in different situations:

* Let's just get all these School of Business clowns in and out, OK?

* Now, science geeks, we're gonna see some serious shit! (at least if you go to the right school)

Anyway, that's a possible interpretation :-)
