Dear old Decatur-Crowder I'm in love with you!, "It seems to me that education has a two-fold function, to perform in the life of man and in society: the one is utility and the other is culturic. Education must enable a man to become more efficient, to achieve with increasing facility the legitimate goals of his life." Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.
