Abstract

The author discusses the focus on undergraduate liberal-arts teaching at Davidson College, arguing that it is preferable to tendencies away from such curricula and majors at U.S. colleges and universities. He describes the support of school president Carol Quillen for humanities education and the teaching of Western civilization in courses at Davidson.
