University Quotations | Page 7

It has become more apparent to us over the past seven months, as each new embarrassment is plastered across newspapers, that individuals within the university appear to have a greater interest in doing what is in the best interest of the Office of the President, rather than what is in the best interests of its students, its faculty or California's taxpayers.

I think he's going to do a good job. He has more talent here than he did at Brown. It'll do well for him and the University to have a change of pace and try to continue the success that we've had in the past.

I sure don't want to take money away from the University of Texas; any subsidy for a university is good. But from an equity standpoint, it isn't fair that wealthy people can treat their personal entertainment expenses as a charitable donation.

It is exciting to have these great musicians perform at a dynamic performance venue like Long Island University's Kumble Theater. I am grateful to the University for providing the central Brooklyn community with access to world-class productions at the Kumble Theater.

It is easy to lose focus if you are not grounded academically and you are not continually reminded of the athletic department's proper place. You begin to think the university is there so it can field an athletic team. Fact is, universities have been around for more than 200 years and they'll survive with or without athletics.

I think this is a statement that University of Texas is going to fight to the finish,

I'm still shaking from the elation of winning today. We've been so close and been on that other side, watching the other team get the trophy. I think it's a huge step for our program, university and team. We all have worked so hard, from top to bottom, everybody has played such an important roll in our success.

I'm so happy for coach. It shows that the university believes in him to give him that extension. He really laid a great foundation for this program.

I'm so delighted that Rick has agreed to remain our men's basketball coach for an additional three years. When he first became our coach, I felt that if he could come here and reconstruct our program in six years, it would be a major coup for this institution. Our entire university and community will benefit immensely from his pushing that initial commitment to nine years.

Managing university finances is very tricky business. We're nonprofits. We're not supposed to accumulate large surpluses.

I'm humbled and honored to be the head coach at the University of Northern Iowa. The excitement level for Panther basketball is at an all-time high and I look forward to continuing the growth of our program. With the players we have returning and the current recruiting class, I know we have the pieces in place to be successful.

I'm honored and pleased. I'm more excited about the potential of this program, so it's nice that the university feels the same way.

The academic quality of the university exceeds its reputation around the world.

The amazing thing is that Cook, who had absolutely no connection with the University of Pittsburgh, had decided that we would be good stewards for this treasure.

The allegations will be investigated according to university policy and practices. Penn State has a nondiscrimination policy that is fundamental to the principles of our university.

The actions of the University in my case make it abundantly clear that the Administration's rhetoric about Harvard's desire to attract and retain the most distinguished women in the world is empty.

The appeals court decision last year turned on its head the traditional belief that a university is a 'marketplace of ideas' where speech from all sides is not only tolerated, but encouraged. We hoped that the Supreme Court would step in to reaffirm that important principle.

The aristocracy in the future is not one of wealth or university education, but the aristocracy of the men who have done something for themselves and their fellow men.

That was a typical University of Washington versus Arizona State basketball game. Very physical, emotions running high. They're real aggressive and we play an aggressive brand of basketball, and when you put the two together, sometimes tempers flare. Our guys did a good job of maintaining their composure.

That was something you don't see every day. It's obvious people are very exited about the University of Florida football, and it's obvious people are thrilled that Urban Meyer is our coach.

That was less than clear. The communications between the agency and the university turned out to be an unclear two-way street.

I was baptized as an infant. I was confirmed as an adolescent; I was active in my church's youth group and in my university student group. I was married before the church's altar; trained at the church's seminaries, ordained deacon and priest at age 24.

I was born in Champaign in 1918. From the neighborhood elementary and intermediate schools, I went to the University High School in the twin city, Urbana.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for college, but when I decided to go to the University of New Hampshire I didn't have enough money to pay for it.

I was not proficient in Latin and so was not able to go to Oxford or Cambridge. However, I did enter the first-rate chemistry honours program at the University of Manchester in 1950, where the professors were E.R.H. Jones and M.G. Evans, and graduated in 1953, with the financial support of a Blackpool Education Committee Scholarship.

I would hope that Catholics who are committed to peace and justice would demand that the University do something.

I would like to thank Morgan State University for the opportunity to coach the men's basketball team for the last five years. In addition, I would like to thank all the past and present student athletes for their hard work and dedication.

I would love to study musical theater in a big city. New York University and the Boston Conservatory have always been at the back of my mind.

My comments were not in any way specific to the University of Cincinnati.

My book is fair comment. The criticism I have of professors is that they aren't professional. Some aren't professional in the classroom the ones portrayed in my book...they have an attitude toward the university that it should be their political soap box.

Most of our schools and other divisions have taken concrete steps to determine how they can support university students whose families have felt the brunt of Hurricane Katrina, ... Several are accommodating students from Gulf Coast colleges whose plans have been entirely disrupted this fall.

(Miami) is a university where you can go win a national championship. Certainly any coach would be attracted to that. There are an awful lot of positives there. I think I'm a legitimate candidate. It would be a very, very attractive job to me.

When that report comes out, we'll have a better idea. We're going to have to wait for that report to come back May 1, and then we'll study it and we'll sit down with the president and university officials and decide what we're going to do.

When Steny Hoyer brings up a resolution to support and recognize the University of Maryland men's basketball team - I'm not making this up - before we even had March madness, then you just know that it's just political favoritism.

We have opened our hearts, our homes and our university to families and individuals displaced by this disaster. But as the relief effort moves from despair to hope and destruction to rebuilding, all of us are being called on to share our blessings in this unprecedented undertaking to rebuild communities and help those in need put their lives back together again.

When I saw that quote, I thought the same thing. I was studying Shakespeare at a university during the making of Make Believe, and it did spark some concern, and I asked Rivers about it. We never directly say, 'So, does this mean this is our last record? What does this mean?' But I know he took Shakespeare too, and maybe it struck a chord with him.

You know, I find myself going over to university just to avoid it.

We are blessed to bring back one of the finest young men to play basketball here at Temple University as an assistant coach. Mark is a remarkable man, both on and off the court, and our young players can truly learn something from being around him.

We hope the confusion doesn't discourage people's faith in the University Board of elections.

We have such great cooperation from all areas. From Madison Metro to the police departments. We work with medical people at the university to make sure it's a safe event. The W Club has been fantastic in providing the marketing support. They maintain the Web site and we have a great Web site. The event has just gotten better and better over the years.

We don't feel that this kind of publication serves the university well or the students.

We do not feel that this kind of publication serves the university well or the students.

We do not allow individuals and outside organizations to use the university as a public forum. But they can come and engage in courteous civil dialogue.

Whichever team drafts me, I think I can make a significant (contribution) on their team, no matter who it is. Being at the University of Miami with the coaching staff we have and the history of guys who come back, I've learned a lot and I've been taught a lot and I think with the right opportunity and the right team, I'll be able to play.

Whether you're investing for your child's university tuition, a prosperous retirement or a higher quality of life, Value Stock Selector is the easiest and best software package available to help you start building solid wealth right now.

We received a very positive report. One of the things they cited was our strong university support. They also recognized the quality of our student body and facilities and the rigor of our curriculum.

We have to rescue the university system. We can't send kids to school and have them come out with a $10,000 or $15,000 debt.

We have to realize that is a business decision and the direction the university wants to go, and we have to deal with it.

We're certainly going to miss Tony Levine, who spent three productive seasons at the University of Louisville. We're excited about bringing Tom into our program. He's a dedicated and bright young coach. He'll bring a lot of enthusiasm and energy to our staff.

We even have a player we discovered out of the University of South Florida, Judah Hernandez, who has been dying for a chance to play for Trinidad and Tobago.

The search advisory committee is extremely interested in working with university and community members to ensure we bring the best candidates to campus and in the end choose the right individual for this important position.

We don't have a huge research presence. But what we do have is a location in Baltimore, which, with places like Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland, is a great place for research.

We are thrilled to see the number of schools offering legitimate services more than triple in the last year, and (we) remain hopeful that these partnerships will continue to flourish. At the same time, complacency looms as a constant threat to the tremendous progress we have made. As the landscape changes, so must the anti-piracy programs within the university community. There is much promise in the coming years, but our work is far from done.

We are thrilled and honored to have Marsha at the helm of our board as we embark on our journey to transform High Point University, ... Her support for High Point University over the years is immeasurable. We trust in her vision, and are confident in her abilities.

We are the organization on campus that brings all of the big name touring shows like Broadway shows, pop artists, comedians, ballets, and symphonies. We're the second oldest of our type that's affiliated with a university in the country so it's a really big plus for the university.

Well, I think, you know, the university and the high schools are also important, but depends how I'm going to do in tennis - well, I hope. I mean, it depends, so I don't know yet.

We must tell it to the world that the higher education is necessary to the best agriculture. We must tell our friends of our enthusiasm for the generous life of the country. We must say that we believe in our ability to make good use of every lesson which the University has given us. We must say to every man that our first love is steadfast, our hopes are high, and our enthusiasm is great. Our hearts are so full that we must celebrate.

We must recruit the very best student-athletes we can. ... We have a very high standard for graduation rates for our entire university community, ... While there are certainly examples of academic success, there are simply not enough.

We believe the university should be a literary center of the region.

We had hoped the university would see the error of its ways and correct this wrong without going to court. Unfortunately, the controversy only emboldened them to further divide students along the lines of their deeply held religious beliefs. It's really too bad it had to come to this.

We wanted to keep it tight between the University and SMG until we got the go-ahead from the band.

We've got six seniors playing a lot, so they should get the boards, they should take over in crucial times like that. University made a great run and they've got nothing to hang their head about.

We've got severe problems here, folks. Whoever attempts to minimize them is doing the university a disservice.

We've met with the University of Arizona and Raytheon and they're very supportive of what we're doing. They recognize that the population is aging and, if you look at the projections, there simply won't be enough workers for the jobs we'll have. So, it makes sense to turn to the age-50-plus workforce.

We've made extensive effort over probably an eight-year period to try to get the University of Florida to work with us.

We're willing to look in the mirror, see what we see and do what we have to do to make this university better.

With the growth of Harvard from a small provincial college into a great University, a unique paranoia has swept the ranks of local officialdom, furrowing brows throughout University Hall.

We have had cases of funds being stolen from the university in the past, but it certainly is a rare occasion.

We have had a wonderful experience at the University of Illinois the last several years.

We were staying at the University of New Orleans, and it was awful, worse than you can imagine.

Troy University has got 100 years of alumni, of people coming to school here and people sending their children here,

We needed this. Our university needed this, our fans needed this, our team needed this.

We need money that schools can use to expand classes. A lot of this depends on the sort of support the university can get from the state.

We got to know one another when they played here, ... I had learned that he's moved his program to University of Texas at Tyler to get through the coming season while the student-athletes continue classes.

We gave the University a good win. And we appreciate all the fans, especially the student support.

We aren't pushing a particular agenda, but we're opening a dialogue on how we need to be doing something different. We think it is positive to talk about ideas. We selected the university to do that because the university is intended to be a place where you can debate ideas without being polarized.

We have another well field we are using. We have a sufficient capacity to supply the university with safe water.

We have not been kind to them, ... Between Whittleman and Danks and Teagarden, we have not been kind to the University of Texas. Maybe that's why Augie's here. Hey, maybe we'll sign Augie.

We anticipate and hope the DNA results will be released early next week. It's unfortunate that these young men have been vilified by the press, the community and the university they attend. It's a real miscarriage of justice for them to be convicted in the public's mind before everything is known. It is unfair. The allegations against them do not contain a kernel of truth.

We were irresponsible. We're very ashamed of these activities. We're deeply sorry we have marred the image of the Greek community and marred the university image as well.

You know why. It's Texas. It's the state university of Texas. They just assume that posture. It's their birthright.

To give you an idea about how old I'm getting, we had some family living in Texas for a while, and we went to the Texas museum at the University of Texas in Austin, and they had this whole Texas Instruments section, and my Speak & Spell was an exhibit in the museum.

Though women are no longer barred from university laboratories and scientific societies, the idea that they are innately less suited to mathematical science is deeply ingrained in our cultural genes.

We don't have to do this to get accredited, but when (North Central) reviews the materials they look for how we are sure students are competent in areas. Every university is faced with accountability.

We're not where we need to be in our team confidence. This was our second tough game of the year and we have lost them both (losing to top-ranked University of Southern Maine). Our foul shooting was terrible. We didn't do the little things to win, and I'm not sure that this team felt that they could go on a big run.

We are really young, but (Swan's) success has helped our program to move forward. He was a great golfer and his success at the university and the world of golf is unparalleled among local golfers.

We are really excited about what might be the biggest football game in Kelly/Shorts history. With new lights, on a national television stage - what an opportunity to showcase Central Michigan University and the Mt. Pleasant community.

When you see him smile, you really don't know what he's gone through to get to that point emotionally and socially, because there was a lot of anger and disappointment. The most phenomenal thing about the whole story is he entered the University of Washington as a regular student. The basketball will take care of itself.

We practiced this morning at the University of Dallas.

When I got out of the army I went to college, and I got a Bachelor's degree in English, and then I went to University, and I got a master's degree in English. Because I thought I wanted to teach English. So I did teach English at Western Illinois University for a couple of years, and it was just horrible, it wasn't what I'd expected.

When I go to the gym sometimes it takes a long time to wait for a treadmill and then someone is waiting right behind me. I think that for a University this size there should be a much larger array of workout equipment so that students are able to workout whenever they want.

We're not going to be scared. We're going to be pumped. Nervousness is not a part of the University of Texas.

We still have a goal, and that is to have the University commit to not invest in any of these companies in the future until the genocide stops.

This says, 'If I really care enough as a high school student, I can assure my entrance to a state university of my choice.' I like that a lot.

To me, this is more about representing the University of Denver. So much has happened the last couple weeks, but this still has been on my mind; being able to go to (Milwaukee) for one last hurrah will be a great way to celebrate the opportunity DU gave me.

(Yale has) made it a priority to provide high-paying jobs and keep students on campus. The university sees the value of student employees in general. Certainly in my office I see them as vital ... I don't think we could function day to day without them.

We are going through our council to draw up a plan. As of right now, the position of our university is that we want to keep our mascot, and we will re-appeal.

We are looking for more university partners in Iowa City to provide our graduates with more options.

We are looking at two or three other locations for the next site, but it is too early to say where. We will look in an area with a university and a good base for recruiting in the future.
