I got the idea in my head — and I could not get it out — that college was just one more dopey, inane place in the world dedicated to piling up treasure on earth and everything. What ' s the difference whether the treasure is money, or property, or even C! ture. or even just plain knowledge? It all seemed like e.vactly the same thing to me, if you take off the wrap- ping — and it still does! Sometimes I think that knowledge — when it ' s knowledge for knowledge ' s sake, anyway — is the worst of all. The least excusable, certainly ... I don ' t think it would have all got me quite so down if just once in a while — just once in a while — there was at least some polite per- functory implication that knowl- edge should lead to wisdom, and that if it doesn ' t it ' s just a disgust- ing waste of time! But there never is! You never even hear any hints dropped on a campus that wisdom is supposed to be the goal of knowledge. You hardly ever even hear the word ' wisdom mentioned. J. D. Salinger, Franny And looey Page 26

Books are good enough in their own way, hut they are a mighty hloodless substitute for life. It seems a pity to sit, like the Lady of Shalott, peering into a mirror, with your hack turned on all the bustle and glamor of reality. And if a man reads very hard, as the old anecdote reminds us. he will lKi e little time for thought. Robert L. Stevenson, Virginibus Piieresque To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament is affection; to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar. Francis Bacon, Of Studies Page

. . . The only really strict laws were those laid down by the stu- dents to professors in the Italian universities, and enforced by the threat of boycott. At Bologna the professors were compelled under oath to obey the Rector elected by the students, forbidden to leave town for even a day without per- mission, fined if thev be ian or ended their lectures a minute late, fined if they failed to attract an audience of at least five students for an ordinary lecture, and in general subjected to a very rigorous but possibly salutary discipline.
