Education, and I regret to say this as an educator, but there's no indication that education has a direct effect on happiness.

Universities are institutions run by amateurs to train professionals.

I suspect that no community will become humane and caring by restricting what its members can say.

I won't say there aren't any Harvard graduates who have never asserted a superior attitude. But they have done so to our great embarrassment and in no way represent the Harvard I know.

For some students, especially in the sciences, the knowledge gained in college may be directly relevant to graduate study. For almost all students, a liberal arts education works in subtle ways to create a web of knowledge that will illumine problems and enlighten judgment on innumerable occasions in later life.

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

Ever since economists revealed how much universities contribute to economic growth, politicians have paid close attention to higher education.
