Arthur Wallace Pickard-Cambridge

I rank examinations as they are treated in most schools as among the worst enemies to education, to freedom of thought, and independence of judgment.—Letter to the Daily Mirror 1935 ''Everything is done for us nowadays: we have lost our independence of thought. On every side we see men like sheep taking passively what is given to them.. getting even their standard of taste from the radio in this 'Switch it on' and 'Put me through' age.'' —Address to the Congress of Universities of the British Empire, 1936 ==Works==
