Too often, teachers and professors misrepresent conservative viewpoints, and intentionally muddle what it means to be a conservative.
I was genuinely lucky to have the professors I did, many of whom took a very humanist approach in teaching history that went beyond memorizing dates and battles and all of that – basically, looking at the life of individuals throughout history, aided by fascinating primary sources.
We have associations to things. We have, you know, we have associations to tables and to – and to dogs and to cats and to Harvard professors, and that’s the way the mind works. It’s an association machine.
Historically, professors have defended tenure as a way to protect their individualistic thought. But tenure can also be used as a club to wield against the powerless.
Don’t feel embarrassed if you’ve never heard of William Lane Craig. He parades himself as a philosopher, but none of the professors of philosophy whom I consulted had heard his name, either.
I did a four-year degree in five years. I have awesome support from my team and my professors. Everyone’s super on board and that makes my life a bit easier.
I feel I learned as much from fellow students as from the professors.
Parents, teachers, professors, economists, pundits, entrepreneurs, tinkerers and misfits all have to do a better job of unapologetically singing the praises of capitalism and free markets which unequivocally demonstrate the ability to pull people out of poverty and improve and lengthen their lives.
The most frequent complaint I hear from college students is that professors inject their leftist political comments into their courses even when they have nothing to do with the subject.
We can trust our doctors to be professional, to minister equally to their patients without regard to their political or religious beliefs. But we can no longer trust our professors to do the same.
Basketball’s eras are defined by teams – Celtics, Lakers, Bulls – and baseball’s epochs are defined by players – Ruth, Robinson, Mantle – but with football, it’s the sideline strategists, the nutty professors and top coated Lears.
All of us, whether we are ignorant of philosophy or professors of philosophy, find it easier to follow dogma than to think.
Our American professors like their literature clear and cold and pure and very dead.
I was taught by professors who had done their schooling in the 1930s. Most of them were scornful of, even hated, big business.
After years of studying French in school, one of my professors said he’d really appreciate it if I didn’t take any more French.
Opposite to godliness is atheism in profession, and idolatry in practice. Atheism is so senseless and odious to mankind, that it never had many professors.
I went to the University of San Francisco on an athletic scholarship. I didn’t study in high school. I was just there to get by and to play basketball. But a funny thing happened to me when I got to college. I got challenged by the work and the professors.
I went to a British Council event a while back and there were lots of German professors of literature. About half of them were convinced I had a German sense of humour and the other half were sure it was British. They are probably still arguing about it now.
Law professors like Obama tend to view the law as one means to an end, and others, like myself, tend to view it as the end itself.
I live in a country where music has very little success, though, exclusive of those who have forsaken us, we have still admirable professors and, more particularly, composers of great solidity, knowledge, and taste.
I was making big paintings with mythological themes. When I started painting black figures, the white professors were relieved, and the black students were like, ‘She’s on our side.’ These are the kinds of issues that a white male artist just doesn’t have to deal with.
Many professors tell you that you’d be good at this or that, but they don’t always help you with that career path.
Philosophers write for professors; thinkers for writers.
I’m extremely excited about returning to my alma mater, working with my amazing professors and being part of Muhlenberg Theatre & Dance once again. I believe the program to be the absolute best in the nation!
My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.
My parents are professors; they’re intellectual. I spent a lot of time reading books. To me, everyone always looks like they do in your imagination. And in my imagination, the characters always looked like me.
As a physics major at Yale in the 1970s, I developed crushes on nearly all my male professors.
You should allow professors to become really outstanding academicians, recognised worldwide, and you should reward them.
If God had meant Harvard professors to appear in People magazine, She wouldn’t have invented The New York Review of Books.
At Harvard, I got to meet and have dinner with Jamaica Kincaid. Just to have conversations with professors was absolutely amazing.
Rarest of the real poets are born poets. They are the oddballs, not the professors.
Indian-Americans are physicians, engineers, CEOs, professors, teachers, entrepreneurs. They are a vital part of the United States’ economic and social fabric. Because of this long history, the bonds among our people and our cultures will remain strong.
There is no greater way to ensure that universities remain a hotbed of leftist thought than to guarantee that professors knight their own successors. But that’s basically how the Ph.D. system works, with sitting professors approving the work of would-be professors.
I have known people who are working class or craftsmen, who happen to be more intellectual than professors.
Princeton is quite integrated. Women are professors at Princeton. Women are students at Princeton. That began in the 1970s.

A growing and increasingly influential movement of philosophers, ethicists, law professors and activists are convinced that the great moral struggle of our time will be for the rights of animals.
Even from the very beginning, the type of fans the Ramones generated were the kind of people who wound up running industry, who became professors and scientists. Our staunchest fans were always a little bit more on the outside, the type of people who didn’t fit in with society.
Working with Adrien Brody was like going to Julliard, but instead of four years, I went for four weeks. He was like the Albert Einstein of professors, it was just the best experience of my life. Adrien was the most influential mentor in my acting career thus far, and even after the movie he continues to mentor me.
In order to produce generalist courses, business school professors have been forced to invent subjects called strategy, called organizational behavior and so on.
With my early work I got eviscerated by my male professors, and so you learned to disguise your impulses, as many women have done. And that’s definitely changed.
In college, I was always disappointed by lectures that covered social problems but failed to identify what I could do to change them. Part of the problem was that many professors simply didn’t believe they had a role in converting awareness to action.
You cannot make thousands of universities or hundreds of thousands of professors, but with technology and the Internet you can have great courses and make a digital university.
I respect teachers and professors.
I have wanted to be a fine artist painter, and I reached the point in art schools were I’d like to understand more about images and how images communicate information to people. And I was not getting very far in that from my professors.
Research professors don’t watch a whole lot of TV.
In an undergraduate business environment, the best learning experience is the interaction students have with each other. They need to learn from each other as much as from professors and lectures and other teaching tools.
I’m not one of those professors whose office is encased floor-to-ceiling with books. By the way, I think academics do this to intimidate their visitors.
Colleges would compete by adding professors, enhancing programmes or building nicer facilities. So they competed by making institutions better.
