Description
Mark Edmundson's essays reclaim college not as the province of high-priced tuition, career training, and interactive online courses, but as the place where serious people go to broaden their minds and learn to live the rest of their lives. He argues that the liberal arts are more important today than ever and that higher learning is not some staid old notion but a necessary remedy for our troubled times.
