    Through all his veins the fever of renown
    Burns from the strong contagion of the gown;”

    “In the United States, it is now possible for a person eighteen years of age, female as well as male, to graduate from high school, college, or university without ever having cared for, or even held, a baby; without ever having comforted or assisted another human being who really needed help. . . . No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings.”
    —Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
