I applaud the recent EQuad News supplement, “Art, Form, Function” (Jan. 16). As an engineering graduate, one of the real pluses for having attended Princeton was the inclusion of wonderful learning experiences in the field of liberal arts. Now, as the world has moved into a technical age, a balanced learning experience is so important for those majoring in a technical field and for those pursuing a nontechnical specialty. The world demands understanding of the interaction between tech and nontech issues, and Princeton is leading the way to ensure such balance for all of its students.
