I find it interesting how they offered different languages since the start despite of how self centered they were on ideal white Americans. There are no global studies classes nor African American studies also. This further shows the lack of diversity the school has in both its students and courses. It seems like they avoided controversial topics in classes such as religions too.

Education, in like manner engrafts a new man on the native stock, & improves what in his nature was vicious & perverse, into qualities of virtue and social worth;
I think it's funny the way they state, "what in his nature was vicious & perverse, into qualities of virtue and social worth." This clearly isn't always the case, especially today. Education is not the only factor that contributes to a person becoming virtuous. Lets take Richard Spencer into consideration. This man left Duke Univeristy, to pursue his goals with white supremacy.
