Gregory's

Addresses

It is much easier to learn and remember, than to investigate and think. 1873 I have only one wish to gratify—the wish for the prosperity and wellbeing of the University. 1879 Great numbers of students prove nothing unless they are attracted by the presence of great teachers. It is the aim of a University to lead well-prepared students to the summits of learning, rather than to collect and conduct great numbers of immature minds along the lower and elementary paths.
