Our Universities: Liberal Education

Walter Wendler

Abstract

Our Universities: Liberal Education\nStudents benefit from an educational experience that requires rigorous analytical thought: the power of a sharp mind. The value of such a mind is real in the marketplace, with worth beyond measure for anyone who possesses one.\nThe liberally educated person is one who is able to resist the easy and preferred answers not because he is obstinate but because he knows others worthy of consideration.\nAllan Bloom (1930 - 1992)
