Famous quotes containing the word scholarship:

    “Men have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The ceaseless, senseless demand for original scholarship in a number of fields, where only erudition is now possible, has led either to sheer irrelevancy, the famous knowing of more and more about less and less, or to the development of a pseudo- scholarship which actually destroys its object.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    “American universities are organized on the principle of the nuclear rather than the extended family. Graduate students are grimly trained to be technicians rather than connoisseurs. The old German style of universal scholarship has gone.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
