Education
The Tilburg School of Economics and Management (founded in 1927) is the oldest and largest faculty of the university. The other four faculties – Law (1963), Social and Behavioural Sciences (1963), Philosophy and Theology (1967), Arts (1981) – were founded more recently. In addition to these faculties, Tilburg University has a number of research centers and graduate schools (see below).

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“The experience of the race shows that we get our most important education not through books but through our work. We are developed by our daily task, or else demoralized by it, as by nothing else.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“Since [Rousseau’s] time, and largely thanks to him, the Ego has steadily tended to efface itself, and, for purposes of model, to become a manikin on which the toilet of education is to be draped in order to show the fit or misfit of the clothes. The object of study is the garment, not the figure.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“One of the benefits of a college education is, to show the boy its little avail.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
