Famous quotes containing the words emerson and/or college:
“When science is learned in love, and its powers are wielded by love, they will appear the supplements and continuations of the material creation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... [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)
