“My own ideals for the university are those of a genuine democracy and serious scholarship. These two, indeed, seem to go together.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Nature, we are starting to realize, is every bit as important as nurture. Genetic influences, brain chemistry, and neurological development contribute strongly to who we are as children and what we become as adults. For example, tendencies to excessive worrying or timidity, leadership qualities, risk taking, obedience to authority, all appear to have a constitutional aspect.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
