Cedarville College Bulletin, October 1922

"Oxford trained at least four generations of the Wesley family. Bartholmew Wesley studied medicine and theology at the famous English seat of learning. His son, John, followed to the same Alma Mater. Samuel Wesley, son of John, entered Exeter College, Ox– ford, in 1683, and later his three sons---S~muel, Charles and John– all entered Christ Church College at the same university." -Elmer T. Clark. "Educational institutions are rich not in buildings and endow– ments but in the men they have sent into the world to do life's work." -L. E. Holden. "In our day the self-made leader is so rare as to be negligible." "Who would undertake to place a money value on the service to the world of Robert E. Speer or John R. Mott? It is important to remember that the church college is the place where about 90% of the world's Christian leaders are produced or developed. If by in– vesting in colleges that are frankly and positively Christian, the church can produce competent leaders in adequate numbers, it is doubtful whether human ingenuity has ever devised a more successful method of influencing and controlling the thought and life of the' world."-J. Campbell Whit£>. "To take out of American life the elements put into it by higher education under religious auspices would change the whole fibre of our social order. The moral foundations which underlie all business would be weakened. It would let down the bars to materialism, if indeed the doors were not thrown open to bolshevism." "A good education makes you incapable of being content with the second or third best."-William James. "Every employer is looking for the man who will think. One can hire any number of people marvelouia:ly trained in routine or in detail-human machines that will run on splendidly as long as noth– ing unusual turns up in the work. It has been impressed on me through many years of contact with college graduates in business and in banking that the well trained college man grasps intricate situa– tions and reduces them to essentials much more quickly than the . equally well trained man who has not had the advantage of the broader fundamental education." - Charles Sabin, president of a large trust company.
