“... [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)
“A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“Doesn’t all experience crumble in the end to mere literary material?”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
