In a dialogue with Librarian of Congress James H. Billington, David McCullough, twice Pulitzer Prize winner and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, among numerous other coveted awards, said, “Somebody told me recently that half of the incoming freshmen at our business schools, who, of course, are all college graduates are now being required to take a basic course in writing because they cannot write a presentable letter or report or proposal.... Now, that’s a serious national problem.”

McCullough continued, “If you can educate someone to be able to express themselves on paper or on their feet, then you have given them something that will be of infinite value not just to themselves but to the whole society ... for the rest of their lives.”
