“Education and training for all children to be equal in opportunity in all schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions of training in the professions and vocations in life; to be regulated on the capacity of children to learn, and not on the ability of parents to pay the costs. Training for life's work to be as much universal and thorough for all walks of life as has been the training in the arts of killing.” ChildrenHas BeensArtSchoolOpportunityParentAbilityWalksPayCollegeCostEqualTrainingCapacityUniversalInstitutionsKillingUniversityProfessionVocationThoroughWalks Of Life Author:Huey Long

“We have to make sure that college is accessible and affordable. Two years ago, I stood here and called upon our institutions of higher learning to develop plans for degrees that cost no more than $10,000. There were plenty of detractors at that time who insisted it couldn't be done. However, that call inspired educators at colleges and universities across our state to step up to the plate. Today, I'm proud to tell you that thirteen Texas universities have announced plans for a $10,000 degree.” YearsTwoStatesDoneTodayEducationStepsPlansCollegeProudHigherCostDegreesYears AgoInstitutionsInspiredUniversityPlentyTwo YearsTexasPlatesAffordableEducatorStep UpThirteenTwo Years AgoColleges And UniversitiesHigher Learning Author:Rick Perry

“The institutions of college athletics exist primarily as unreality fueled by deceit. The unreality is that universities should be in the business of providing large spectacles of mass entertainment.

“I regard the effort to introduce women into colleges for young men as very undesirable, and for many reasons. That the two sexes should be united, both as teachers and pupils, in the same institution seems very desirable, but rarely in early life by a method that removes them from parental watch and care, and the protecting influences of a home.” MenShouldTwoReasonHomeSeemsCareYoungSexUnitedEffortWatchesTeacherInfluenceCollegeRegardMethodInstitutionsYoung ManRemoveIntroducingDesirablePupilsParentalUndesirableEarly Life Book:Woman's Profession as Mother and Educator: With Views in Opposition to Woman Suffrage Source: Woman's Profession as Mother and Educator: With Views in Opposition to Woman Suffrage

“On the river path in Boston beauty was most expressed as youth and intelligence. That made sense; sixty degree-giving institutions, some three hundred thousand students; that meant at least one hundred fifty thousand more nubile young women than demographics would ordinarily suggest. Maybe that was why young men stayed in Boston when their college years were over, maybe that explained why they were so intellectually hyperactive, so frustrated, so alcoholic, such terrible drivers.” MenGivingYearsMadeYoungThreePathYouthStudentsCollegeTerribleThousandDegreesHundredRiversInstitutionsYoung ManFiftyDriversSixtyFrustratedYoung WomenBostonAlcoholicsDemographicsCollege Years Author:Kim Stanley Robinson

“I went off to college, a good, middle-class, very proper college, a Brethren institution, where two years of Bible study are required for graduation. It was a good, sound, thorough, but completely biased evaluation of the Bible, and I was delighted with it, because it helped to document my doubts; it gave me a framework within which I could be critical.My independent study continued for 20 years after this.
