Again I argue that not only does a true regard for the material prosperity of the nation demand a more regular and thorough public provision for advanced education, but that our highest political interests demand it.

Education, therefore, is one of those things which it is admissible in principle that a government should provide for the people.
491. oldal - On their foundation I would have public grants and private gifts combined. Here too, fortunately, there is a well-defined national policy and to some extent a State policy. The National Government acted in accordance with it when it gave the grant of lands for general and scientific and industrial education in 1862, and the States acted in accordance with it when they appropriated that grant — Connecticut to Yale, New Hampshire to Dartmouth, Vermont to the Vermont University, New Jersey to Rutgers,...
477. oldal - States not a single college or university worthy the name; only a multitude of little schools with pompous names and poor equipments, each doing its best to prevent the establishment of any institution broader and better. The traveler arriving in our great cities generally lands in a railway station costing more than all the university...
