Abstract	This proceedings report presents the speeches and panel discussions given at an annual meeting held at the University of North Carolina; Asheville, that focused on improving general education at American colleges in two broad areas: history and culture, and mathematics and science. The report begins with lists of speakers, consultants, and participants and continues with selected excerpts from addresses, panel discussions, and workshop presentations. Briefly discussed are some issues of general education reform suggested by the faculty teams' post-conference reports on the impact of their work at Asheville. The report concludes with a 67-item bibliography. Speeches presented are as follows: "The Theory and Practice of Science: The Place of Science in General Education" (Robert Pollack); "'But 'twill serve'' (James Redfield); "Disciplinary Culture and General Education: What Can We Learn From Our Learners" (Sheila Tobias); "Predictors of Success in General Education" (Alexander S.
