“A liberal arts college looks for the enquiring mind to do away with ignorance and requires a breadth as well as a depth of experience—insisting that its people taste various cultures, learn of various opinions, learn to relate to people with a wide variety of ideas to everyone’s enrichment and advantage—all in an effort to avoid narrowness.”
– Msgr. James Barta, Presidential Inaugural Address (Oct. 8, 1988)
