A half-century ago, 14 percent of college students studied the humanities, the reflection of the great ideas that liberated an imagination grounded in what Matthew Arnold, the 19th-century English poet and critic, described as "the best that has been thought and said in the world."

This is, to a large extent, no longer offered. That's the actual problem. Instead the Humanities major sits through diatribes about race, class, and gender.

I have a friend who was attempting to struggle through an English PhD at Auburn, and diatribes about race, class, and gender are about right, based on his reports. Plus he realized that as a white male he had no chance getting anywhere in the academic system in that area.

He gave it up, managed to transition into doing securities analysis, and is very good at it. His writing skills are a large part of the reason why.
