To enable him to calculate for himself, and to express & preserve his ideas, his contracts & accounts in writing.
This sentence illustrates the university’s purpose to allow the students to be in a school where they truly express themselves.

I agree with this statement because even though educating the youth is important there are other things in life that are more significant to being a person. In this case, it mentions how crucial it is for the person to work with others to achieve something greater.

I agreed with this statement because it illustrates that even though education is significant having morals and order as or more equal to being intelligent. I personally think it is important for a person to be kind and smart. Because if we have only smart people but indifferent people then no one will help each and no one will agree with each other. -Alexander An
