“If young gentlemen get from their years in college only manliness, esprit de corps, a release of their social gifts, a training ingive and take, a catholic taste in men and the standards of true sportsmen, they have gained much but they have not gained what a college should give them. It should give them insight into the things of the mind and the spiritthe consciousness of having taken on them the vows of true enlightenment and of having undergone the discipline, never to be shaken off, of those who seek wisdom in candor, with faithful labor and travail of spirit.” IfsMenGivingShouldYearsMindYoungSpiritSocialConsciousnessTakenCollegeDisciplineTasteTrainingStandardsEnlightenmentLaborCatholicInsightReleaseFaithfulGentlemanVowCandorGive And TakeManlinessSportsmanEsprit De CorpsYoung Gentlemen Author:Woodrow Wilson

“College football is no more of a minor league than, say, the universities' schools of journalism, engineering or music are. We can argue at another time whether football should occupy the same space on campus as those disciplines, but for now, it does. The critical point is that a coach is less concerned with preparing athletes for the next level than he is with molding them to fit a system that helps him win games, keep his job and, eventually, move on to a position with a more prestigious program.” ShouldDoeHelpingSchoolJobsMovingNextGamesWinningSpaceLevelsPositionFootballCollegeDisciplineFitConcernedProgramUniversityAthleteCriticalArguingCoachesJournalismLeagueEngineeringMinorsPreparingCampusNext LevelAnother TimeCollege FootballPrestigiousMolding Author:William C.

“My abject hatred of actors and the acting world. I went to college as an actor, and halfway through, I switched to playwriting and directing. Then I spent a couple years working in publishing, doing some freelance journalism for The Village Voice and Musician magazine. I thought my life was going to be as a writer, but then I realized I missed performing, so I got into comedy. It was a nice combination of things I was sort of good at. I was a pretty good writer and a decent actor, but I didn't really like acting, and I didn't have the discipline to be a writer.” WorldActingComedyNiceCollegeCoupleDisciplineMusicianHatredI RealizedJournalismPerformingDecentPublishingHalfway Author:Christian Finnegan
“Master's degree in journalism served several purposes. It helped me to break down and understand scripts. And the discipline of getting my master's gave me a certain amount of confidence. I don't think college is the only path, but I enjoyed it and it worked out very well for me. I had some good friends with whom I could get a little crazy, but still be responsible. It was the perfect bridge from living at home to independence. I also love learning.

“The discipline of colleges and universities is in general contrived, not for the benefit of the students, but for the interest, or more properly speaking, for the ease of the masters. Its object is, in all cases, to maintain the authority of the master, and whether he neglects or performs his duty, to oblige the students in all cases to behave toward him as if he performed it with the greatest diligence and ability.” IfsInterestAbilityCasesObjectsStudentsCollegeMastersDutyDisciplineAuthorityBenefitsEconomicsUniversityEaseBehaveNeglectDiligenceColleges And Universities Author:Adam Smith
