"It is important that students
bring a certain ragamuffin barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not
here to worship what is known, but to question it." --

"By academic freedom I
understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one
holds to be true. This right also implies a duty: one must not conceal any
part of what one has recognized to be true. It is evident that any restriction
of academic freedom acts in such a way as to hamper the dissemination of
knowledge among the people and thereby impedes rational judgment and
action." -- Albert Einstein

"It's a big leap from a high
school degree to a college degree. For the poor, that leap keeps getting
bigger. In an information society, college is the gateway to opportunity." --
David Brooks,
New York Times
