I was a Fine Arts Major at Syracuse in the mid '60s and took the required Art History course taught by the diva of days, one old bat named Gertrude Pederich -- someone should have warned me that several pre-requesite courses in German should be required in order to to understand her bi-lingual (often in the same sentence) lecture presentations. I have no lamentations over changing my major (and universities).

That sounds like my argument for making all engineering students take Hindi and Chinese so they can understand their professors and TAs.
