PARTISAN REVIEW
certainly compalible wilh true lileracy and may even be necessary, but
it is hardly sufficient. After all, proprielY and good usage can easily
become part of the new imitative lileracy even if elegance perhaps
cannot.
What form should the rebellion against the new literacy take?
In
order lO pierce the veil of the new lileracy and see the faces of those who
cannol think, wrile, or read critically and clearly, despite formal
education, college curricula must force the sludenl to take possession
personally of the acts of lhinking, speaking, reading, and writing.
Colleges should seek the dealh of merely functional cliches which
result from imilalive lileracy and which shield the users from lhinking
for lhemselves. The sludenl cannot be allowed to survive by alienated
mimicry.
