'Liberal Arts in Action'

Members of the Council of Independent Colleges and other supporters of liberal arts education gathered in Washington Thursday for a symposium called "The Liberal Arts in Action." The symposium, part of a campaign to increase public understanding of liberal arts colleges, featured alumni of liberal arts institutions discussing the value of their educations. Also, the CIC released an essay on liberal arts education by S. Georgia Nugent, a senior fellow at the CIC, former president of Kenyon College and interim president of the College of Wooster.
