Traditional `liberal education' is somewhat mistrusted among many in the business and technological community. Historically, in the US the British stress on the liberal arts was countered effectively in the nineteenth century, through the conscious public policy of creating land-grant, publicly-funded universities with a practical and applied focus in explicit contrast to the established, privately-endowed liberal arts colleges clustered on the eastern seaboard. Liberal arts should be a set of disciplines preparing students for responsible lives as professionals and as citizens.
