I had a liberal arts education at Amherst College where I had two majors, mathematics and philosophy.

When I was in college at Amherst, my father asked me a favor: to take one course in economics. I loved it - for the challenge of its mysteries.

I went to Princeton from Amherst, where I split my interests between mathematics and philosophy.

I went to Amherst because my brother had gone there before me, and he went there because his guidance counselor thought that we would do better there than at a large university like Harvard.

Amherst is a liberal arts college, committed to providing students with a broad education.

I wanted to go to a good college, and my mind was set on Wellesley.

Following graduation from Amherst, a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship enabled me to test the depth of my interest in literary scholarship by beginning graduate studies at Harvard University.

I had an excellent Ivy League education, and it gave me a long view of things.

I really enjoyed Princeton as a graduate student.

I was an economics major, which I enjoyed because I had a good business sense.
