This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard.The most obvious goal of a college education is to give knowledge, but it is far from the most important. Remarkably, few of the facts you learn here will remain in your memory for many years, and some of those that do might be proved false by new knowledge. At Harvard, we have looked to other things we can give that will last a little longer. Among these things are certain habits of mind-such as the ability to have more critical analysis, to make more accurate and logical use of information and so forth.In addition to these habits of thought, it is our hope that we can help you develop certain attitudes of mind, a willingness to accept uncertainty, and the lack of definite truths.Beyond giving these intellectual qualities, a college should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of leisure time, which can be cultivated in the classroom. Yet the cultivation of these abilities will also occur outside the classroom, such as on sports fields, in music rooms and so on.本段听力材料的问题：第17段听力材料There is a popular belief that a college education is something to be endured in order to become qualified to obtaincertain kinds of jobs or go to graduate school.
