Just a thought

I went to a lecture tonight by a philosophy professor from Stanford who was talking about her work bringing liberal arts education to women living in a halfway house in the bay area. Her program brings Stanford professors to this halfway house to volunteer to teach classes in Philosophy, Religious Studies, English, Drama, Political Science, etc. It seemed like a really interesting program, and I was happy to learn about it. Also, she included this quote in her lecture, which I liked:

"To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society"
--Theodore Roosevelt
