Excerpt from Distinguished Residents of Washington, D. C: Science, Art, Industry; Biological Sketches and References In presenting this book to the public the author wishes to permit no other motive for its inception and publica tion than the desire to render due acknowledgment and credit to those men and women of Washington, D. C., who have attained special distinction in the various fields of art, science and industry. It is not presumed that all such have been included; far from it! But that the list herein is largely representative of those pre eminent and most distinguished cannot be denied. This is especially true of the scientific representatives, those highly intellectual men who are constantly searching the hidden and most valuable principles and storerooms of nature, and by their ceaseless and skillful efforts revealing more of the beauties, wonders and benefits of creation. Our country is in the forefront for intelligent' and fruitful research, as well as in the other vocations for mankind's advancement and comfort, and no city in the entire country proportionately presents such a large col lection of brilliant, useful and distinguished results.

In the United States, broad study in an array of different disciplines â€"arts, humanities, science, mathematics, engineeringâ€" as well as an in-depth study within a special area of interest, have been defining characteristics of a higher education. But over time, in-depth study in a major discipline has come to dominate the curricula at many institutions. This evolution of the curriculum has been driven, in part, by increasing specialization in the academic disciplines. There is little doubt that disciplinary specialization has helped produce many of the achievement of the past century. Researchers in all academic disciplines have been able to delve more deeply into their areas of expertise, grappling with ever more specialized and fundamental problems. Yet today, many leaders, scholars, parents, and students are asking whether higher education has moved too far from its integrative tradition towards an approach heavily rooted in disciplinary "silos". These "silos" represent what many see as an artificial separation of academic disciplines. This study reflects a growing concern that the approach to higher education that favors disciplinary specialization is poorly calibrated to the challenges and opportunities of our time. The Integration of the Humanities and Arts with Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Higher Education examines the evidence behind the assertion that educational programs that mutually integrate learning experiences in the humanities and arts with science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) lead to improved educational and career outcomes for undergraduate and graduate students. It explores evidence regarding the value of integrating more STEMM curricula and labs into the academic programs of students majoring in the humanities and arts and evidence regarding the value of integrating curricula and experiences in the arts and humanities into college and university STEMM education programs.
