Ryan, Mark B. – Change, 1980
Traditionally, the goals of a liberal arts education have been expressed in terms of "self-actualization,""self-realization," and other terms implying self-fulfillment.

Atkinson, Richard C.; Tuzin, Donald – Change, 1992
The loss of balance among the functions of the research university (instruction, basic and applied research, and professional training and service) produces a crisis of values. Many of the university's problems can be traced to this disequilibrium. Without increasing the value placed on teaching, curricular reform will be ineffectual. (MSE)

Simmons, Adele; And Others. – Change, 1979
