Computer Science at Lyon College

 Why study Computer Science at Lyon?  Why at a liberal arts college?  Because by doing so you will be a better computer scientist than someone who merely studies computer science in the absence of the humanities.  The purpose of education is to enable the individual to contribute to society.  Which computer scientist will make a better contribution: one who knows the subject well and is poorly informed in history, geography, foreign languages, art, music, culture; or one who knows computer science and is also well rounded and educated in all of the other areas?  You decide.
