Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"The purpose of education... was not to train specialists, but to educate men broadly."

"All of us must honor and encourage those young men and young women whose ambitions lead them to seek specialization in science and in scholarship."

"I value far beyond the sentiment conveyed by my mere acknowledgment in words the honor that you, in behalf of this historic institution, have conferred upon me today."

"But at the same time there is a definite place in American life —an important place—for broad, liberal and non-specialized education."
