Amherst is a liberal arts college, committed to providing students with a broad education.
I do think that a general liberal arts education is very important, particularly in an uncertain changing world.
When I finished high school, I was 16, and in Argentina you have to choose a career right after high school. There is no such thing as a liberal arts education.
I went to a liberal arts college wherein grading was qualitative and we had to write our own evaluations.

I was fortunate in that I attended university in Canada in the early 1970s when you could take a true liberal arts degree with no programmes, majors or minors.
I went to school at Radnor High School. And I went to a liberal arts college in St. Louis, Missouri, called Lindenwood College.
Our two major parties are actually called the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party.
I went to Princeton from Amherst, where I split my interests between mathematics and philosophy.
