"Liberal education ... frees the mind from the constraints of a particular moment and set of circumstances, ... permits one to see possibilities that are not immediately apparent, to understand things in a larger context, to think about situations conceptually and analytically, to draw upon a base of master knowledge when faced with specific situations. ... It equips a student for life far more richly and completely, and across a far wider expanse of time and space, than does education whose sole aim is to be useful."
--Nicholas Lemann, Dean of the Graduate School of Journalism, Columbia University
"The only education that prepares us for change is a liberal education. ... We need the flexible intellectual tools to be problem solvers, to be able to continue learning over time."
