ABSTRACT
This article dwells on the importance of revolutionary mass criticism and social investigation to the reform of liberal arts universities. Having conscientiously summed up what they learned in traversing a tortuous path, Futan University's "May 7" experimental liberal arts class resolutely carried out Chairman Mao's instruction that "liberal arts should take the whole society as its factory" and, focusing on revolutionary mass criticism, organically combined classroom teaching and the Three Great Revolutionary Movements. With respect to teaching material, they persisted in putting all courses of study under command of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tse-tung thought. Taking Chairman Mao's works as the basic teaching material and opposing the transplanting of the old teaching material, they overcame the lack of teaching material. In the course of revolutionary mass criticism they broke the old concept of "dignity of teachers" and built a new teacher-student relationship. Teaching presented an initial approach of "officers educate men, men educate officers, and men educate one another."
