With the sticker price for college soaring, the public has grown skeptical of the value of higher education in general and liberal arts in particular.

In this video from WGBH's Forum Network,  John Kuykendall, president emeritus of Davidson College, suggests that the 'danger' in a liberal education is not making the most of it. Kuykendall says liberal learning requires doing something with what we learn, and that it implies that we focus not so much on making a living as in making a life.
