Dr. L.E. Laverman

“The only purpose of education is teach a student how to live his life – by developing his mind and equipping him to deal with reality.  The training he needs is theoretical, i.e.; conceptual.  He has to be taught to think, to understand, to integrate, to prove.  He has to be taught the essentials of the knowledge discovered in the past – and he has to be equipped to acquire further knowledge by his own effort”
