My definition of a University is Mark Hopkins at one end of a log and a student on the other.

I have spent my life laboriously doing nothing. [Lat., Vitam perdidi laboricose agendo.]

Tortured for the Republic. [Lat., Strangulatus pro republica.]

Whomsoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce and when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.

If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should not grow old.

I am not willing that this discussion should close without mention of the value of a true teacher. Give me a log hut, with only a simple bench, Mark Hopkins on one end and I on the other, and you may have all the buildings, apparatus and libraries without him.
