Great article discussing what a true liberal studies education should be. It was a commencement address and it goes through how what a liberal education has changed, and what historically is closest to what is now considered a liberal education in college. It's an important subject, since the question of what is the goal of a college education is a hot topic. Is it to give a person skills so they can get a great job, or to make them a well rounded person?
