attended best encouragement extent great leads men provide schools students study teach women
Indeed, the study of universities and the great men and women who have attended them leads me to think that the best of these schools are characterized not so much by what they teach and how they teach it but by the extent they provide opportunities and encouragement for students to teach themselves.

Like many physical diseases, anti-Semitism is highly infectious, and can become endemic in certain localities and societies.

A ruling like this will cause prejudice in people who have never been prejudiced before.

What strikes the historian surveying anti-Semitism worldwide over more than two millennia is its fundamental irrationality. It seems to make no sense, any more than malaria or meningitis makes sense.
