“Women while in college ought to have the broadest possible education. This college education should be the same as men's, not only because there is but one best education, but because men's and women's effectiveness and happiness and the welfare of the generation to come after them will be vastly increased if their college education has given them the same intellectual training and the same scholarly and moral ideals.” IfsMenShouldGivenMoralGenerationsCollegeOughtIntellectualTrainingIdealsWelfareEffectivenessCollege EducationScholarlyBest Education Author:M.

“Looking back over a decade one sees the ideal of a university become a myth, a vision, a meadow lark among the smoke stacks. Yet perhaps it is there at Princeton, only more elusive than under the skies of the Prussian Rhineland or Oxfordshire; or perhaps some men come upon it suddenly and possess it, while others wander forever outside. Even these seek in vain through middle age for any corner of the republic that preserves so much of what is fair, gracious, charming and honorable in American life.” MenAgeEducationVisionForeverSkyMiddleCollegeFairsIdealsUniversityCornersMythDecadesWanderSmokeVainPreservesRepublicLooking BackCharmingHonorableMiddle AgesGraciousElusiveMeadowsAmerican LifeLarksPrincetonColleges And Universities Author:F.

“As long as I'm dealing in honesty, I may as well admit that I have been more influenced (as a person) by my childhood readings of Tolkien and Lewis than I have been by any philosophers I read in college and grad school.

Kant just annoyed me.” WellsMayPersonsLongHas BeensCharacterDreamSchoolEarthReadingGoalChildhoodMiddleEventsHonestyCollegeIdealsPhilosopherAnnoyedNarniaGradMiddle EarthGrad School Author:N.D. Wilson
“Wherever you go, whether it be a college campus or the New York Times or ABC News or Venezuela or Cuba or the former Soviet Union, it's amazing how the speech codes and the trying to shut up dissent is a defining aspect of the left because they believe so firmly in their utopian ideals that anyone who would disagree with that utopia is an enemy of the state, and they treat them as such.” TryingBelieveStatesLeftEnemyNew YorkCollegeSpeechNewsAspectIdealsTreatsUnionsFormerCodeDisagreeSovietShut UpSoviet UnionDefiningDissentUtopiaCubaNew York TimesCampusUtopianVenezuelaCollege Campus Author:Andrew Breitbart
“In my father's time - he was in college during many transitions in the late 1930s - they had great institutional loyalties... to his college, eventually the navy, the Democratic Party and certain ideals of our country. Those are the things that became broken with my generation.” CountryCertainFatherPartyGenerationsCollegeBrokenLateIdealsDemocraticLoyaltyOur CountryTransitionNavyDemocratic PartyMy Generation1930s Author:Whit Stillman
