Famous quotes containing the words specialty and/or colleges:

    “... to a specialist his specialty is the whole of everything and if his specialty is in good order and it generally is then everything must be succeeding.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “The present century has not dealt kindly with the farmer. His legends are all but obsolete, and his beliefs have been pared away by the professors at colleges of agriculture. Even the farm- bred bards who twang guitars before radio microphones prefer “I’m Headin’ for the Last Roundup” to “Turkey in the Straw” or “Father Put the Cows Away.””
    —For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
