Summer sessions of the School were held on the Pinchot estate, Grey Towers, in Milford from 1901 to 1926. (The site is now Grey Towers National Historic Landmark.)

Famous quotes containing the words degree and/or programs:
“So that if you would form a just judgment of what is of infinite importance to you not to be misled in,namely, in what degree of real merit you stand ... call in religion and morality.Look,What is written in the law of God?How readest thou?Consult calm reason and the unchangeable obligations of justice and truth;Mwhat say they?”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of societys illsfrom crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
