BEN WAS PRETTY DAMN SMART



"The good Education of Youth has been esteemed by wise Men in all Ages, as the surest Foundation of the Happiness both of private Families and of Common-wealth. Almost all Governments have therefore made it a principal Object of their Attention, to establish and endow with proper Revenues, such Seminaries of Learning, as might supply the succeeding Age with Men qualified to serve the Public with Honor to themselves, and to their Country."

--Benjamin Franklin, Proposals Relating to the Education of Youth in Pennsylvania, 1749
