"The essence of liberal education lies in its capacity to bring about a changed experiential quality of life.  An experience in this sense is something which only superficially happens to persons.  Fundamentally, and more significantly, it is something which occurs within persons, some organic change in the structure of their intellect and sensibility.  When the powers of intelligence and imagination are developed within persons and given free rein, not only are persons transformed, but also the world they encounter takes on a fresh visage."
                                                    (Allie Frazier, Liberal Studies and the Adult Learner: A Personal Renaissance)
