Famous quotes containing the words learning and/or programs:
“...I didn’t consider intellectuals intelligent, I never liked them or their thoughts about life.

—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges....

—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
