"The purpose and object of schools, colleges and universities is to educate man and thereby rescue and redeem him from the exigencies and defects of nature and to awaken within him the capability of controlling and appropriating nature's bounties." "Societies... interested in commerce, science and politics... are for material service of the world of matter." (Pup 347; Pt 67) (57:8)
