This College of Agriculture was not established to serve or to magnify Cornell University. It belongs to the people of the State. The farmers of the State have secured it. Their influence has placed it here. They will keep it close to the ground. If there is any man standing on the land, unattached, uncontrolled, who feels that he has a disadvantages and a problem, this College of Agriculture stands for that man.
More Quotes from Liberty Bailey:
Even though the college man raises no more wheat than his neighbor, he will have more satisfaction raising it. He will know why he turns the clod he will challenge the worm that burrows in the furrow his eyes will follow the field mouse that scuds under the grass he will see the wild fowl winging its way across the heaven. All these things will add to the meaning of life and they are his.Liberty Bailey
We are now devoting ourselves to science. I am afraid some of us feel that science will give us final solutions - better bases for philosophy, an ideal groundwork for satisfactions, for enjoyment. But it is doubtful whether the mind of man can ever understand the universe. For every puzzle that we uncover and solve, two more appear that were hidden.
Liberty Bailey
If there is no land, there are porches or windows, balconies or small green spaces attached to houses.
Liberty Bailey
Humble is the grass in the field, yet it has noble relations. All the bread grains are grass - wheat and rye, barley, sorghum and rice maize, the great staple of America millet, oats and sugar cane. Other things have their season but the grass is of all seasons... the common background on which the affairs of nature and man are conditioned and displayed.
Liberty Bailey
I have no patience with the doctrine of pure science, that science is science only when it is uncontaminated by application in the arts of life and I also have no patience with the spirit that considers a piece of work to be legitimate only as it has direct bearing on the arts and affairs of men.
Liberty Bailey
