Famous quotes containing the words state and/or university:
“I incline to think that the people will not now sustain the policy of upholding a State Government against a rival government, by the use of the forces of the United States. If this leads to the overthrow of the de jure government in a State, the de facto government must be recognized.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“It is the goal of the American university to be the brains of the republic.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
