“The essence of Vanderbilt is still learning, the essence of its outlook is still liberty, and liberty and learning will be and must be the touchstones of Vanderbilt University and of any free university in this country or the world.

“Music is a more potent instrument than any other for education.”
“Education gives you neither experience nor wisdom.”
