Business Quotes
I feel pretty good about (the retirement) because frankly there are not too many guys in my business who can do it. I feel grateful the university has been so good to me and my family. I have a chancellor that has been very supportive of me, and his cooperation on what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. I think that is very unique to have a situation like that.

Admitted Quotes
From age 16 on, I found school boring and failed A-level Physics at my first attempt. This was necessary for university entrance, and so I stayed an extra year to repeat it. This time, I did splendidly and was admitted to Sheffield University, my first choice because of their excellent Chemistry Department.

Age Quotes
From a young age, I wanted to play in the NBA. Oh well... It was when I was a senior in college that I fell for film, but even then, it wasn't documentaries. It wasn't until I ended up in graduate school at Southern Illinois University that I really discovered documentaries and thought that maybe that would be my calling.

Ability Quotes
Further Education should be about the ability to learn, not the ability to pay - everyone who is able should have the opportunity, regardless of their family background. I don't want to see students struggling with huge debts or frightened off even going to university in the first place.

Discourse Quotes
He had been given a strong faith through his parents. As an adult, in his teen years and early college, he kind of got away from the church, and ended up going to St. John's University in Minnesota. Tom was very intellectual, enjoyed the discourse with monks, had a lot of questions, and I think the monks provided a great insight into the faith he had grown up with and somehow had been missing.

Faculty Quotes
We're proud that any student can walk and play 18 holes of golf for $5 during the week and $8 during the weekend. Faculty and staff will have discounted rates as well. It's a great thing for the university as a whole. Students will have to provide their own equipment. In the future we hope to offer rental sets, but at the moment we don't have any.

Amount Quotes
We're pleased that our Green Wave teams will be able to continue to compete and proudly represent Tulane University and the city of New Orleans during the fall semester.

This collaborative effort to put Tulane University teams on the fields of play this fall is unprecedented.

Business Quotes
What you're discussing today could be a perfect complement not only to the proposed energy school but also to the Ruckelshaus Institute and Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources, and other ongoing university initiatives, by linking the College of Business and high-level business executives.

Along Quotes
He's been as good an ambassador for this university and the athletic program as anybody ever has -- maybe the best. Stop and think about all the lives he has touched along the way, people in western Kansas, or wherever, that have never seen Max but know his voice the first time they turn on the radio.
-
Best Quotes
He's done great things at the University of Wisconsin and we just want to send him off in the right way. He's tried to prepare us like it's any other game, but it is a big deal to the players. We want to thank him for everything he has done for us and the best way for us to do that is to play our best game and leave it on the field.
-
Board Quotes
We looked at Gov. Bush's appointments to the University of Texas Board of Regents, which is a particularly coveted post. It's valued because the university produces many of the state's leaders, the position is prestigious and high profile -- and it doesn't hurt that it comes with tickets to the 50-yard line of football games, which is no small consideration in football crazy Texas,

Ability Quotes
We look forward to the positive impact the new arena will have on both our recruiting and our ability to attract teams to Springfield to play us. There is no doubt that this facility will put our two basketball programs on a par with any other Division I school in the country. We couldn't be more pleased and appreciative of all that Mr. Hammons has done for our university over the years. This is yet another example.

Decided Quotes
I think it is really unfortunate that the New York University administration has decided to take a page out of the Yale administration's anti-union book, ... It's shocking that in 2000 the NYU administration decided to recognize the democratic decision of their students, and then at the whim of the president of the university, they can take away their contract, take away their grievance procedure.
-
Aspects Quotes
I think in terms of the specific aspects making Washington different than, say, Atlanta, or even Richmond or many other southern cities is the immediate post-civil war period. The fact that you create Howard University in 1867 just two years after the war ends. No other city that has a black community can claim a Howard.
-
Again Quotes
It a privilege and an honor to be invited with so many great players around the country right now. We have all put in a lot of hard work and to be recognized by USA Softball is special. I was not expecting this, but the opportunity to play with Desiree one more time after my college career. The chance to play with her again this summer in Taiwan at the World University Games would be incredible.
-
Clearly Quotes
I think it's just something we heard clearly from our fans, that we were very respectful of the Ute tribe and we decided to appeal. The university has always been close to the Ute tribe. I think it's standard operating procedure to be in touch with the Ute tribe to do the right thing.

Among Quotes
It is a great honor to be named the 2005 NCAA Woman of the Year from our great state, ... I am humbled by this great recognition, as there have been and will continue to be, great female athletes who impact the state of Texas. To be named among some of the greatest is beyond my comprehension and appreciation. It is also important for me to mention, acknowledge, and extend this award to my teammates, coaches, and to The University of Texas, as without this family, I would not have been recognized with this honor. Lastly, I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to my mom (Debbie Carey) and my dad (Mike Carey), as the two of them are truly my heart.

Body Quotes
I think the poetry that came out of Belfast, and especially the Queen's University set, in the 1970s and '80s - you know, Paul Muldoon and Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon and Ciaran Carson - that was probably the finest body of work since the Gaelic renaissance, up there with the work of Yeats and Synge and Lady Gregory.
-
Arts Quotes
I think that not only will an engineering program be good for Marshall, but Marshall will be good for engineering. With the strong liberal arts programs offered at the University in fields like language and science, I think that our program will produce students ready to compete in a global job market.

Coach Quotes
I think that because of the new era and because of the success coach Meyer has had, the expectations are going to be higher. Then you start to look at our team and what we have coming back. You've got so many players that played when they were young and now they're back, that's why the expectations are so much higher. But this is the University of Florida. That's why we're here and that's why the program is the way it is.
