39、and mathematics) fields, more and more students are seeking degrees in business and hard-science subjects. Some institutions have responded by cutting budgets in the arts and humanities and directing those funds elsewhere. That's the wrong thing to do. The humanities-the study of languages , lit

40、erature, history, philosophy, religion, ethics, etc.-and the arts are vital to our future. We should be investing more funds, more time and more expertise, not less, into these endeavors. What detractors（诋毁者） of the "soft" subjects miss is that the arts and humanities provide an essential

This ability is developed by studying the humanities, and in the global commun

46、ity this skill is not optional - it's essential. In a word, we must enthusiastically support and fund the study of the arts and humanities. For anyone concerned with how this translates into a sound economy and a sound financial future, simply recall what Steve Jobs told graduates of Standford U

47、niversity in 2005: One of the most influential experiences in his brief time at Reed College was his exposure to the fine art of calligraphy（书法） It taught him the important lesson of the relationship between discipline and creativity.58.
