University Field

Famous quotes containing the words university and/or field:

“The most important function of the university in an age of reason is to protect reason from itself.”
—Allan Bloom (1930–1992)

“Mine was, as it were, the connecting link between wild and cultivated fields; as some states are civilized, and others half-civilized, and others savage or barbarous, so my field was, though not in a bad sense, a half-cultivated field. They were beans cheerfully returning to their wild and primitive state that I cultivated, and my hoe played the Ranz des Vaches for them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
