A letter from an alumn about liberal arts at Princeton

February 24, 2003

I would like to know if Princeton is still offering a liberal arts education. The perfectly good word liberal seems to have had its meaning changed by right wing politicians, and now is a pejorative term. I am sure that all teachings at Princeton in the liberal arts are not left wing. Perhaps the term liberal arts should be changed.
