There is only one justification for universities, as distinguished from trade schools. They must be centers of criticism.

More free time means more time to waste. The worker who used to have only a little time in which to get drunk and beat his wife now has time to get drunk, beat his wife - and watch TV.

Football, fraternities and fun have no place in the university. They were introduced only to entertain those who shouldn't be in the university.

It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts... it is to teach them to think.

Freedom of inquiry, freedom of discussion, and freedom of teaching - without these a university cannot exist.

To solve a problem it is necessary to think. It is necessary to think even to decide what facts to collect.

The most distressing aspect of the world into which you are going is its indifference to the basic issues, which now, as always, are moral issues.
