For scholarship - if it is to be scholarship - requires, in addition to liberty, that the truth take precedence over all sectarian interests, including self-interest.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.
When liberty is mentioned, we must always be careful to observe whether it is not really the assertion of private interests which is thereby designated.
We are a studying nation. Scholarship from science is important to the whole world and those people need to be able to be safe and secure in what they do.
Great research universities must insist on independence from government and on the exercise of academic freedom.
We believe that Liberty will redefine what is considered an academically prestigious university in the future.
All that you may achieve or discover you will regard as a fragment of a larger pattern of the truth which from the separate approaches every true scholar is striving to descry.
All ambitions are lawful except those that climb upward on the miseries or credulities of mankind.
It's not proper for a professor to go before a class and promote one party or another. That's not academic scholarship.
All ambitions are lawful except those which climb upward on the miseries or credulities of mankind.
But such is the irresistable nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants is the liberty of appearing.
