If I were founding a university … I would found first a smoking room; then when I had a little more money in hand I would found a dormitory; then after that, or [perhaps] with it, a decent reading room and a library. After that, if I still had money over that I couldn’t use, I would hire a professor and get some text books.

Little of my classroom education can be directly applied to my present job. What, then, was valuable?

• Learning how to learn
• Collaborating
• Socializing

The institution was more important than the classroom.
