“Put Down That Keats, Maggot!” Liberal Arts in the Global Age (1969-2019)
Are the liberal arts an antiquated afterthought in an age of global commerce, rapid change, and technological innovations? Or are they more relevant than ever? While the presence of business education, engineering, medicine, and the liberal arts might yet remain a curiosity to some, it continues as a natural conjunction and complement at Dartmouth, now and as it had been a century or more before. Who finds themselves at Dartmouth, and what they teach, learn, and share, has dramatically changed in the last fifty years. More diverse than ever in its students, staff, and faculty, Dartmouth proudly offers the liberal arts as indispensable to undergraduate education.
