Famous quotes containing the words college, world and/or series:

    “Here was a place where nothing was crystallized. There were no traditions, no customs, no college songs .... There were no rules and regulations. All would have to be thought of, planned, built up, created—what a magnificent opportunity!”
    —Mabel Smith Douglass (1877–1933)

    “But when did love not try to change
    The world back to itself no cost,
    No past, no people else at all
    Only what meeting made us feel,
    So new, and gentle-sharp, and strange?”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
    —Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
