Famous quotes containing the words beaumont and/or college:
“Lay a garland on my hearse,
Of the dismal yew;
Maidens, willow branches bear;
Say I died true.”
—Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)
“The mode of founding a college is, commonly, to get up a subscription of dollars and cents, and then, following blindly the principles of a division of labor to its extreme,—a principle which should never be followed but with circumspection,—to call in a contractor who makes this a subject of speculation,... and for these oversights successive generations have to pay.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
