There's a new tribunal now Higher than God's- the educated man's!

While my friends were discussing Pearl Harbor as the country's problem, I took it personally. It dawned on me that the Japanese attack could be my ticket out of high school.

The grand result of schooling is a mind with just vision to discern, with free force to do: the grand schoolmaster is Practice.

The educational process has no end beyond itself; it is its own end.

The function of the university is not simply to teach bread-winning, or to furnish teachers for the public schools or to be a centre of polite society; it is, above all, to be the organ of that fine adjustment between real life and the growing knowledge of life, an adjustment which forms the secret of civilization.

Meek young men grow up in colleges and believe it is their duty to accept the views which books have given, and grow up slaves.

The things taught in colleges and schools are not an education, but the means of education.

We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing.

What we do not call education is more precious than that which we call so.

Only the educated are free.
