      {The liberal arts} (artes liberales, the higher arts, which,
            among the Romans, only freemen were permitted to pursue)
            were, in the Middle Ages, these seven branches of
            learning, -- grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic,
            geometry, music, and astronomy. In modern times the
            liberal arts include the sciences, philosophy, history,
            etc., which compose the course of academical or collegiate
            education. Hence, degrees in the arts; master and bachelor
            of arts.
  
                     In America, literature and the elegant arts must
                     grow up side by side with the coarser plants of
                     daily necessity.                                 --Irving.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   aard
  
      (Dutch for "earth") A tool to check memory
      use for {C++} programs, written by Steve Reiss
      (who names his programs after living
      systems).
  
      Aard tracks the state of each byte of memory in the {heap} and
      the {stack}.   The state can be one of Undefined,
      Uninitialised, Free or Set.   The program can detect invalid
      transitions (i.e. attempting to set or use undefined or free
      storage or attempting to access uninitialised storage).
  
      In addition, the program keeps track of heap use through
      {malloc} and {free} and at the end of the run reports memory
      blocks that were not freed and that are not accessible
      (i.e. {memory leaks}).
  
      The tools works using a spliced-in {shared library} on
      {SPARCs} running {C++} 3.0.1 under {SunOS} 4.X.
