I am not fully informed of the practices at Harvard, but there is one from which we shall certainly vary, although it has been copied, I believe, by nearly every college and academy in the United States. That is, the holding the students all to one prescribed course of reading, and disallowing exclusive application to those branches only which are to qualify them for the particular vocations to which they are destined.

In fact, I think we can and must go further - not just making public higher education tuition-free, but reinventing education in America as we know it.

Robert Louis Stevenson

The problem of education is twofold: first to know, and then to utter. Everyone who lives any semblance of an inner life thinks more nobly and profoundly than he speaks.

Walt Disney

Give the public everything you can give them, keep the place as clean as you can keep it, keep it friendly.
