"What we are after is an awakened consciousness, differing in eachindividual, an excitement in thinking, reading, and writing for their ownsake, new discoveries, new enthusiasms, the casting off, or the retentionwith better understanding, of the old. What we want is to stimulate the loveof mental adventure and constructive doubt, to create emotionalsatisfaction in the things of the mind, to reveal through books the varietyand the wonder of human experience."How we do these things matters not at all. The numberless ways of their accomplishment reside in the numberless personalities of those of us whoteach. The one thing that does matter is that we shall be awake and alive,alert and eager, flexible and unperturbed, likable and exciting."—Mary Ellen Chase,
 A Goodly Fellowship
(1939)
