'The threat to our universities' - Stefan Collini

[CLARENCE 2015!]

I agree with what's been said... and this is from an engineering student (though it would nowadays fall under building construction and I never received a degree). You need folks to build buildings, manage finances, research cures for cancer, etc...that is how the world works. But I've always enjoyed the quote which goes something like this- art and music aren't necessary to live, but they are some of the things that make life worth living. It's very true- and I find it very ironic that many of those in my state who want to focus on STEM at the expense of liberal arts (and don't get me wrong- some of their ideas do have merit) were themselves liberal arts students.
