The academic community is a center for the practice of science, a propagator of scientific understanding and related ideals, an institution for the training and education of those who wish to enrich their minds and warm their hearts with the truth, and who pursue a profession for which scientific training is required. (Cobbenhagen, speech delivered at the 6th Tilburg University Day, July 1, 1942).
