Famous quotes containing the words gordon and/or college:
“America is a model of force and freedom & moderation—with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
