In defense of the liberal arts

We don't do a lot with college education on here, but I did want to share, as, yes, a liberal arts grad myself, this defense of the liberal arts.

A recent New York Times article noted that Humanities now account for only 8% of all college degrees, and that proponents are having to work harder than ever to justify the worth of a humanities, or liberal arts, course of study. The article quotes Anthony T. Kronman, a Yale law professor, as saying, reluctantly, that the essence of a humanities education may become "a great luxury that many cannot afford."

I passionately disagree.
