  • Had the [Mennonite] church... cultivated the spirit of learning which her people originally possessed we might be a people famed for learning; and our congregations might number thousands where now count only hundreds. We [in Mennonite education] should permit nothing to prevent us from maintaining the high standard of Christian life that has been defended by the teachings of out Mennonite people through their whole history. -J.S. Coffman (en)
