I do think that a general liberal arts education is very important, particularly in an uncertain changing world.

In a properly automated and educated world, then, machines may prove to be the true humanizing influence. It may be that machines will do the work that makes life possible and that human beings will do all the other things that make life pleasant and worthwhile

I had a liberal arts education at Amherst College where I had two majors, mathematics and philosophy.

My parents had an old-fashioned ideal of college, that four years at a liberal arts college should be a liberal arts education.

Amherst is a liberal arts college, committed to providing students with a broad education.

Why not spend that time on art: painting, sculpting, charcoal, pastel, oils? Are words or numbers more important than images? Who decides this? Does algebra move you to tears? Can plural possessives express the feelings in your heart? If you don't learn art now, you will never learn to breathe!
