schools are the work of many generations, produced by enthusiastic effort
and infinite labour in every country of the world. All this is put into
your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honour
it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it to your children. Thus
do we mortals achieve immortality in the permanent things which we create
in common."
Albert Einstein (address to a group of children, 1934)
