Williams College
Williamstown, MA
"Williams seeks to provide the finest possible liberal arts education by nurturing in students the academic and civic virtues, and their related traits of character," the college says. "Academic virtues include the capacities to explore widely and deeply, think critically, reason empirically, express clearly, and connect ideas creatively. Civic virtues include commitment to engage both the broad public realm and community life, and the skills to do so effectively. These virtues, in turn, have associated traits of character. For example, free inquiry requires open-mindedness, and commitment to community draws on concern for others." [Source]
