Colleges Aim to Revive the Humanities

At college campuses around the world, the humanities are hurting. Students are flocking to majors more closely linked to their career ambitions. Grant money and philanthropy are flowing to the sciences. And university presidents are worried about the future of subjects once at the heart of a liberal arts education. In response, the leaders of many prestigious universities are espousing the virtues of the humanities. Tracy Jan, Boston Globe, Nov. 8, 2010
