Center for Dewey Studies: Awards




	Awards

"Looking back over many years and looking ahead to the future which in many respects is so uncertain, I am convinced that the possibility of a free, prosperous and creative culture is bound up with the fruitful interrelation and cooperation of these three ideals - labor, as representing the solidarity of all progressive forces, education, as the enlightenment necessary for action, and science, as the method of extending the boundaries of knowledge and providing the means of making action intelligent and effective."
