Reader comments about this quote:

All University education does not turn philosophy into folly, science into superstition and art into pedantry. :-) -- Mike, Norwalk
It's a joke (but not far off). -- E Archer, NYC
-- Jflores
Wonder what he would think of today’s University. That quote couldn't be more accurate. -- warren, olathe
But Shaw certainly puts another reality to that previous quote about suppression of freedom being most abominable in a university. Only morons believe that -- and they'd stand by and wring their hands and pull their hair while people got locked up and beaten for expressing themselves. -- DougMcr8, Springfield, VA
Universities are our great fall, They teach only propaganda, that's all: Gramsci rules, no doubt, Marx! Lenin! they shout; Until America is left in a pall............~ Paul C. Vitz, Ph.D. (Lecture notes delivered at Columbia University on the psychology of atheism) -- Ken, Allyn, WA
