Reviews

Universities exist to transmit understanding and ideals and values to students... not to provide entertainment for spectators or employment for athletes.... When I entered a much smaller Rutgers sixty years ago, athletics were an important but strictly minor aspect of Rutgers education. I trust that today's much larger Rutgers will honor this tradition from which I benefited so much. - Milton Friedman, Rutgers '32, Nobel Prize in Economics, 1976
