[who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult.

—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“A whale-ship was my Yale College and my Harvard.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
