JRR: "Now on the other hand, academically with classes, art classes, art history or anything like that, Lesley had very little of that."
BHD: "Well at that time, to be fair, I think a lot of that subject matter was considered "liberal arts" background and that wasn't what they were trying to do at the time. And I think that, probably not too wisely, they didn't see how those two things really connected at that time. I mean it was all about what you were going to do, how you were going to do what you were going to do, not so much about what you could bring to what you were going to do."
JRR: "And I remember when we were out with other people in the square...we would talk about what classes they take and what classes we took, and I felt we didn't get much liberal arts at all."
