“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. We shall, on the contrary, allow them uncontrolled choice in the lectures they shall choose to attend, and require elementary qualification only, and sufficient age.” BelieveHas BeensStatesAgeChoicesCoursesReadingI BelieveUnitedEducationKnowledgePracticeUnited StatesLearningStudentsCollegeParticularAuthorityContrarySufficientBranchesApplicationDestinedVocationExclusiveLecturesAcademyVaryHarvardQualificationsFree Thought Book:Thomas Jefferson: A Chronology of His Thoughts Source: Thomas Jefferson: A Chronology of His Thoughts
“Man has existed for about a million years. He has possessed writing for about 6,000 years, agriculture somewhat longer, but perhaps not much longer. Science, as a dominant factor in determining the belief of educated men, has existed for about 300 years; as a source of economic technique, for about 150 years. In this brief period it has proved itself an incredibly powerful revolutionary force. When we consider how recently it has risen to power, we find ourselves forced to believe that we are at the very beginning of its work in transforming human life.” MenWritingYearsBelieveHumansScienceBeliefForcePowerfulHistoryMillionsPowerLearningEconomicSourcePeriodsEconomicsTechniqueFactorsEducatedHuman LifeRevolutionaryPossessedAgricultureDominantTransformingRisenEducated Man Book:The Impact of Science On Society Source: The Impact of Science On Society
