Education
At Bromsgrove School his love of natural history grew and he started a collection of birds and insects. He left school in 1828 and spent a year with a private tutor, and then enrolled at Worcester College Oxford. Here he read Classics and was awarded a BA in 1833. One of the subjects in which he chose to be examined, was Pliny's Natural History. During this period he met the entomologist James Duncan (1804-1861), author of British Butterflies. As a student Morris maintained his interest in natural history, and helped order the insect collection in the Ashmolean Museum.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“I say that male and female are cast in the same mold; except for education and habits, the difference is not great.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men. Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
“Our basic ideas about how to parent are encrusted with deeply felt emotions and many myths. One of the myths of parenting is that it is always fun and games, joy and delight. Everyone who has been a parent will testify that it is also anxiety, strife, frustration, and even hostility. Thus most major parenting- education formats deal with parental emotions and attitudes and, to a greater or lesser extent, advocate that the emotional component is more important than the knowledge.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
