Famous quotes containing the words beaumont and/or college:
“Know from this the world’s a snare,
How that greatness is but care,
How all pleasures are but pain,
And how short they do remain:”
—Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)
“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
