“The young man [Turgot] destined for an ecclesiastical career was placed within walls carefully designed to keep out all currents of new thought; his studies, his reading, his professors, his associates, all were combined to keep from him any results of observation or reflection save those prescribed: probably, of all means for stifling healthy and helpful thought, a theological seminary, as then conducted whether Catholic or Protestant, Jewish or Mohammedan, was the most perfect.” MenMeanYoungReadingPerfectResultsCareersStudyWallHealthyReflectionCatholicCurrentsObservationYoung ManHelpfulProfessorsAssociatesDestinedNew ThoughtTheologicalProtestantsStiflingSeminary Author:Andrew Dickson White
