The Thai Student Association (TSA) or Thai Society (ThaiSoc) is an organisation of Thai student groups in many countries. They join together to assist newly arrived students and visiting scholars, to establish and support activities that will benefit Thai students, and to introduce Thai social, cultural, and traditional information to people in those countries.
Famous quotes containing the words student and/or association:
“The student may read Homer or Æschylus in the Greek without danger of dissipation or luxuriousness, for it implies that he in some measure emulate their heroes, and consecrate morning hours to their pages.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
