Quotes

• “I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.”
• “The individual is better, society is better, and the state is better, for the culture of its citizens; therefore we desire to extend the means for the culture of all.”
• “I hope we have laid the foundation of an institution which shall combine practical with liberal education, which shall fit the youth of our country for the professions, the farms, the mines, the manufactories, for the investigations of science, and for mastering all the practical questions of life with success and honor.”
