Famous quotes containing the words university of, university and/or faculty:

    “The scholar is that man who must take up into himself all the ability of the time, all the contributions of the past, all the hopes of the future. He must be an university of knowledges.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The university must be retrospective. The gale that gives direction to the vanes on all its towers blows out of antiquity.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Truth is his inspirer, and earnestness the polisher of his sentences. He could afford to lose his Sharp’s rifles, while he retained his faculty of speech,—a Sharp’s rifle of infinitely surer and longer range.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
