Brainstorm. A group of alumni and parents gathered at The Castle on October 28 to hear prominent BU professors discuss the future of liberal arts education. Hosted by Arts and Sciences Dean Jeffrey Henderson, William Goodwin Aurelio Professor of Greek Language and Literature and general editor of the Loeb Classical Library, the forum consisted of (from left) Sheldon Glashow, Nobel laureate in physics, UNI professor, and Arthur G. B. Metcalf Professor of Physics, Henderson, Christopher Ricks, esteemed literary critic, William M. and Sara B. Warren Professor of the Humanities, and University of Oxford Professor of Poetry, and Glenn Loury, a UNI professor and CAS professor of economics. They described their work as researchers and teachers, fielded questions from audience members, and discussed the importance of a liberal arts education in developing such essential intellectual attributes as numeracy and cultural literacy.
