Dean Clarence H. Faust of the University of Chicago argues colleges lack imagination and wisdom and fumbled the chance to modernize. He notes that students need not be pampered and can master college material with fewer leisure years. The Liberty Bell has traveled over 20,000 miles, and Bermuda was settled by colonists bound for Virginia who were wrecked there.
