“I would have the studies elective. Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge. The wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for himself. The marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.”
James Russell Lowell
“He came back, battled through it and earned some minutes. It culminates with him getting a full scholarship. You have to feel good about that.”
Brian Katz
