奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导

Former President Tucker of Dartmouth says: "The student who works his way may do it with ease and profit; or he may be seriously handicapped both by his necessities and the time he is obliged to bestow on outside matters. I have seen the sons of rich men lead in scholarship, and the sons of poor men. Poverty under most of the conditions in which we find it in colleges is a spur. Dartmouth College, I think, furnishes a good example. The greater part of its patronage is from poor men. Without examining the statistics, I should say, from facts that have fallen under my observation, that a larger percentage of Dartmouth men have risen to distinction than those of almost any other American college."

白话

达特茅斯学院前校长塔克说:“半工半读的学生可能做得轻松又有收获;也可能因为经济压力和不得不花时间处理外面的事而严重受挫。我见过富家子弟和穷人家子弟在学业上领先。在我们在大学里见到的大多数情况下,贫穷是一种鞭策。我认为达特茅斯学院就是一个好例子。它的大部分学生都来自穷人家庭。不用看统计数据,根据我观察到的事实,达特茅斯人成才的比例比几乎任何其他美国大学都高。”这说明,贫穷本身不是障碍,关键在于如何对待它。
