"When the education service started 100 years ago there were very many people in the country who said it was a very wrong and even a wicked thing to send the children of the labouring poor to school. It was, as somebody said, like putting the torch of knowledge into the hands of rick-burners." (Sir Alec Clegg, Chief Education Officer West Riding of Yorkshire)
"I think somewhere built into the system you've got to have ivory towers as well as Concordes and Jumbo Jets." (Tom Howarth, High Master, St Paul's)
"The revolt is not against the knowledge that is given but it is a kind of inner grievance at what is being denied." (Francis Edmunds, Principal, Emerson College)
