A University



I ran across this quote about the value of universities today in one of my Oxford guidebooks.  English poet John Masefield wrote:

"There are few earthly things more beautiful than a university, a place where those who hate ignorance may strive to know, where those who perceive truth may strive to make others see."
Jerome Blum's Portrait of John Masefield (1918)
