I might consider a liberal arts class when liberals consider engineering. Besides, most engineers are far more educated and experienced in life and the arts than any liberal ever will be. Who pays for liberal arts when it is unable to generate a product? Engineers and others whom are not working in the liberal arts, such as farmers and doctors, are the producers in society while the arts is a taker. The arts produces nothing for society except entertainment, and I cannot eat entertainment and it doesn't keep the rain off my head.

Ever notice that liberals want others to understand them, but they are unwilling to understand anyone else?

Kopff also notes earlier in the article that "When Donald Kagan, an ancient historian, addressed the National Association of Scholars in June 1990, he said that as new Dean of Yale College, he planned to improve the quality of the faculty by hiring scientists. He had given up on the humanities."
