...roses, duty comes before pleasure, wealth is the visible reward of industrious virtue, and honesty the inescapable policy. This Dutch-uncle lecture, and the smart blow of the Burgomaster's gavel with which he knocked the pair down to each other, Juliana & Bernhard bore with placid disregard of how much time was passing, but in the Great Church across the street impatience grew...
...whether an educated man is one who can do cross word puzzles, or one who has learned how to investigate, study, and draw rational and original conclusions. This distinction is highly important, and one which the student is in danger of over-looking due to the world's apparent disregard for it. Here the superficialities of life must be recognized; the real rewards go to the innovators for their vision and originality. There is little but the ego of man which is increased by knowledge "of wide surface and small depth", or as President Conant expressed...

An even greater waste is apparent in the average man's twelve years of school spent in preparing for four such elementary courses as Chemistry A, French 2, Mathematics A, and Biology D. The result of this disregard for economy of time is to prevent a man from earning a substantial income until, on the average, he is thirty-three years old. The most obvious and practical way of meeting this problem in part, at least, is to intensify school work and shorten the college course to three...
