Famous quotes containing the words deans and/or cemetery:
“In a large university, there are as many deans and executive heads as there are schools and departments. Their relations to one another are intricate and periodic; in fact, “galaxy” is too loose a term: it is a planetarium of deans with the President of the University as a central sun. One can see eclipses, inner systems, and oppositions.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
“I am a cemetery abhorred by the moon.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
