Robert M. Hutchins wrote:
"Political freedom cannot last
without provision for the free unlimited acquisition of knowledge. Truth is not
long retained in human affairs without continual learning and relearning."
He further taught that knowledge and wisdom are part of the
basis of a strong nation:
"We have repeated to ourselves so much of late the
slogan, 'America must be strong,' that we have forgotten what strength is. We
appear to believe that strength consists of masses of men and machines. I do
not deny that they have their role.
"But surely the essential ingredients of
strength are trained intelligence, love of country, the understanding of its
ideals, and such devotion to those ideals that they become a part of the
thought and life of every citizen."
The intangibles are as much a part of national strength as
hard power.
