Quotes

  • We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. That's dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow to go through (higher education). If not, we will have a large number of highly trained and unemployed people. That's what happened in Germany. I saw it happen.
    • Moskowitz, Ron (October 30, 1970). "Professor Sees Peril in Education". San Francisco Chronicle. p. 13.
