...have held firm from the first that teacher and student alike grow strong through freedom. Working eagerly with you and for you are men whose beliefs, whether in education or in religion, differ widely from your own, yet who know that in speaking out their beliefs they are not more loyal to themselves than to you.

Modern conditions of employment have in many instances tended to this result.

In his elevation the entire country has been benefited...
