—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)
“A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“A faculty for idleness implies a catholic appetite and a strong sense of personal identity.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
