Quote of the Day
"In the past half century, American colleges and universities have shared in a revolution, serving as both the emblem and the engine of the expansion of citizenship, equality and opportunity -- to blacks, women, Jews, immigrants, and others who would have been subjected to quotas or excluded altogether in an earlier era. My presence here today -- and indeed that of many others on this platform -- would have been unimaginable even a few short years ago."
--Drew Gilpin Faust, Harvard University's first female president, last week during her inauguration.
