Village Colleges

Famous quotes containing the words village and/or colleges:

    This is the village where the funeral
    Stilted its dusty march over deep ruts
    Up the hillside covered with queen’s lace
    To the patch of weeds known finally to all.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    But here comes Generosity; giving—not to a decayed artist—but to the arts and sciences themselves.—See,—he builds ... whole schools and colleges for those who come after. Lord! how they will magnify his name!
    —One honest tear shed in private over the unfortunate, is worth them all.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
