Public Colleges

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or colleges:

“Take example by your father, my boy, and be very careful o’ widders all your life, specially if they’ve kept a public house, Sammy.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

“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)
